Sarah.. drat we were talking about COH a bit back... then I got sucked into WAR (aewsome game btw)... I'm not so into PK, but I kinda like kicking Dwarf azz in this game .. punks!

Jen - I think 3rd ed made D&D better than 2nd lots more variations IMO.. ya may just wanna give it a little try.

I adore Wonder Woman!! But my heart always goes to Black Canary - any gal who can pull off fighting crime in fishnets gets my vote!

Funny thing - almost evey TG I know (boy and girl) plays or used to regularly play RPGs - AND reads/read comics. I wonder if the same is true of the guys and gals who like us.

this is an explanation of Dungeons & Dragons. It's actually better than I could write, but it s a little long.

I don't and never have played RPGs. I've never cared for them. I used to read comic books, but not since I was about 12 or 13. When I did read comic books it was usually the typical super hero type that I read. I'm sure every young boy at one time or another has tied a towel around his neck and wondered why he couldn't fly just like superman. I also used to read Wonder Woman, but only because I liked looking at pictures of her (I guess I was horny even before I reached puberty or knew what horny meant).

I never really liked many "boy" comics. I gravitated to more super-teams that feature strong female characters. Same with books and movies/TV shows. That has always been the case - if there wasn't a strong, capable, empowered woman I never really liked or identified with it.

I like those movies/tv shows too, but my motives aren't altruistic. I like seeing a good looking shapely woman that has nice legs and is showing some cleavage.

But, Bionca, you must like some boy comics.
After all, where would Black Canary be if she didn't have Green Arrow around to constantly drive her buggy?

As for me, just to add to the conversation, my hobbies have always centered on "creative" things to get away from the world. So, like others here, growing up I loved to read comics (still do) and I loved board games, which has since transitioned into loving video games. My favorite hobby and way to relax is to simply write and draw. Right now I'm teaching myself computer animation because my ultimate goal is to create my own online web shorts. But I also love going to the movies a lot or hanging out in a bookstore to see if there's some doofy paperback that will catch my eye. And if it's been an extra long or hard day dealing with work, then my favorite hobby is to simply plop on the couch and turn off my brain and watch whatever bad movie is on TV. But I think we all share that hobby!

I build custom fishing rods. I had some pics of them but they are in old hard drive. I'll take some new ones. Ila Ive seen a few welding scultures around here you could try. They build huge dinosaur skeletons out of junk. In my travels I'll try to get some pics of them.
