I'm a gremlin - I have sharp pointy teeth set at groin level, and a bad temper (although I'm usually nice). There's a great picture from the forums, but I can't work out to link it here. I'm also vaugely an old-time player, and selected my avatar before you could see them ingame. Thus I was bald for most of my early career, until transformed into a gremlin. I much prefer being a gremlin.
I've made quite a few of the maps, and love putting in NPC's with lots of dialogues, and signs. (When I remember to send them & don't delete them). I can't work out the quest system, otherwise I'd make my maps with quests attached - if there appears to be a NPC who wants to give you a quest on a map, but won't, its probably because I've written it in, but lack the skill to make it into a quest ;) When I started making maps, the Maped program had to have every number entered by hand, was only checkable by trial and error, and was vastly more primitive - if there seems to be differing degrees of complexity to maps, its largely due to this. I might go back over the old maps updating them all if I ever have time. I also vaguely edit other people's maps when so needed to, when time permits - and love seeing other maps, although editing tends to ruin the surprise. Check the forums for the email!
I'm also an ex-GM, probably due to my rather over-zealous protection of EUO, and distaste for cheesy tactics & game abuse. I'm noted for persecuting certain players for cheating, then being entirely vindicated when proved correct - and unlike Kybare or Khelben was not a popular GM by any means. But yes, I'm an [b]ex[/b] GM - my excuse is that my wand snapped ;p
Like Kybare, you can put stuff underneath if you so wish - r/l I'm a bit of a hippy / environmentalist person, and easily get drawn into pointless internet debates. I also did a bit of philosophy, and so love Ultima for its Ethical structure, and wrote the guide to virtues, and the guide to Maped. I'm also secretly in awe of one of the game creator's friend's tongues, which I reckon is bigger than that lead singer of Kiss. He knows this, although I think he's flattered, not creeped out.
