The Mighty Dracos, known to laze about in bed past noon, and kill people with his bare fists Slow to anger, quick to kill.

    Welcome to my abode, said the spider to the fly. Or at least he would, were this his abode and were you a fly. Lucky be the day then that you aren't. Anyhow, I'm a third year student at the oh-so-distinguished Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute busily majoring in everything under the sun or at least whatever I can stick into four years of insanity. Whenever I'm not busy offending students and professors alike with arrogant rantings and critical analysis, I randomly leap about between a half dozen various organizations, RPGamer now being one of them. I'm the most elitist, irreverent, arrogant, lazy jerk you'll ever have had the pleasure to read a bios of, but don't let that stop you from dropping me a line and seeing how much of that's true.

    As far as hobbies go they tend to fall into the category of either arguing or gaming. I do love a good debate and you'll often see me around the boards discussing this topic or that topic and being the classic opinionated fellow. Used to do debate a few years back but unfortunately dropped out of it when I moved to college and began college life. When I'm not doing that or other work (or more honestly, while I'm doing that and other work), I game. What do I game? Pretty much a bit of everything. I run a role playing game site of my own that's been doing somewhat well for the last few years to provide a place for folks to hang out, discuss various role playing systems and well, play a game in the message board format that I've found to be particularly useful to those of us who are already doing too much. When I'm not managing that and participating as both Gamemaster and Player, I'm also running small RPGs around campus, working on building small scale gaming projects, studying gaming, playing games on my respectable building of consoles or my computers, chatting about games, and eating games that disappoint me. You may, rightfully, say I have an unhealthy obsession with the subject.

    You might notice the picture. It's about the only one of me that can be found online and the story behind it is a good one. A few years ago some of the folks around my own site were trying to get pictures of everyone for an online 'goons' page. Well, with me they had a bit of an issue given I'm a lazy bum who doesn't own a camera and wouldn't scan his own picture anyways. So the friendly site co-administrator flew over from Australia and, among other things, demanded the one thing certain to get me out: A LAN party during the week of finals. Combined with him flying halfway across the world to torment me and a few of the New York forum regulars showing up, I couldn't very well refuse. Needless to say, they took the opportunity to get a shot of me as I was orchestrating a great musical chairs prank on our chatrooms. They were all fragged most mercilessly for it, but did eventually manage to get the shot online, earning them the recognition as the only folks who've managed such a feat.

    Anyhow, what else... oh yeah, I also like both abusing ellipses and quotes. Lots of quotes. I got like sixty million of them and am always looking for more. So if you've actually read this far, send me some funny ones, gentle reader!
