- About Me
- My gaming history starts with a monkey throwing barrels down ladders and ramps. However, the game that turned me into an RPG nut was Ultima VI: The False Prophet, which my father bought because the game I originally wanted, Leisure Suit Larry 2, was not available. Or maybe he didn't want to buy a game which says "nude beach" on the box. At the same time I started playing The Dark Eye pen & paper. Ultima and TDE changed my life.
