A 28 year-old male troper from the [[IceWorld cold wastes of Minnesota]]. (Yah, sure, you betcha.) I live about an hour south of the TwinCities except we call them "The Cities". Actually, I'm very close to Mankato [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mankato]], where the largest mass execution in U.S. History occured. We try to keep that last part quiet, though.

While a major geek in all respects, I love {{RPG}}s the most. I'm the DM/GM/Storyteller about 90% of the time. Currently running an Old World of Darkness cross-over game based in [[strike:Milwaukee]] Boulder. It contains many [[{{Homage}} homages]], ShoutOuts and outright stealing from many sources, including TheDarkTower. The players are a [[DemonicPossession Demon-possessed]] hitman, an ex-military doctor [[HunterTheReckoning Hunter]] who looks like the Comedian from {{Watchmen}}, a semi-famous web-film director [[MageTheAscension Mage]] and a 14-year old prostitute [[WerewolftheApocalypse Garou]]. [[TheyFightCrime They Fight Pentex!]] Suffice it to say, it's exactly as crazy as it sounds.

I'm a Discordian. (Yes, really.) Plans to do a major EntryPimp on PrincipiaDiscordia are pending.
