A spectre is haunting the CBG — the spectre of silent members.
It has come to my attention that there are far more active members of this forum than previously realized. Seeing as how this is a close knit community, I think it would be prudent if we all knew each others (forum) name! This thread is for everyone who comes here (not necessarily posts) at least once every fortnight (two weeks). To make this a bit more interesting, everyone should also post the following:
- Forum Name
- Current Setting (preferable with a link)
- Genres of Literature you enjoy
- Favorite RPG system
Salacious Angel (do not be fooled by whatever name I'm currently sporting)
Setting: The Unalterable Circle (http://www.thecbg.org/index.php/topic,109285.msg212720.html#new) (3E D&D's cosmology reimagined); the Book of Images (http://www.thecbg.org/index.php/topic,209454.new.html#new)
Literature: Poetry; Science Fiction
RPG System: Fudge/Fate; ORE
This is a very good idea!
