I am new to CBG, I think is an amazing idea!

Personal Bio:
25 years old. Proud to be from the South. I am almost done with law school.

Game systems/History:
I started 2nd ADnD after 3rd had been out for a while. In the last year I have picked up 3.5, I know it seems like every time I start up again or find people to play I am one step behind wizards' current edition.  
I have played a variety of modern or sci-fi rpgs but never long enough to remember their names now. I am currently writing a campaign that will begin in the fall using 3.5, but my heart will always be with 2nd edition.
I have GMed in 2nd, this fall will be my first foray into 3.5.  I enjoy playing a warrior and swinging away.

Personal Likes:
I like reading, I either want to read non-fiction or pure fantasy. Not alot of middle ground. In reading fantasy, I enjoy books that are character driven and not an exploration of some cool world or universe some one has created. For example, I enjoy Lord of the Rings character development compared the exploration in the Chronicles of Narnia. (This is just a basic example, I know both series are more complex)
On a different note I like women, action and comedy movies, I am a sucker for good reality TV, law and politics, and fine bourbon whiskey.

Dislikes: Judgmental and uppity people, civil procedure, and sprained ankles.

Strengths:  I am really strong at integrating political nature of the world into a campaign. I take my knowledge of history and bring  the nature of what I know to a campaign. I am great about creating and beginning campaigns.
Weaknesses:
I have a hard time ending a campaign or story arc. Creating a world, I don't really care for world building or creating one that is interesting to others.  I will spend a great deal of time creating complex political systems for countries, cities, or a world in general and not get to the meat of the world that needs developing for my campaign or maybe never use.

Published settings: Not really anything, I do have some old 2nd ed. Forgotten realms and Dragonlance stuff I will pull ideas or inspiration from.

Major Influence on World building: Allen Eckert's Winning of America Series especially the Frontiersman and WIlderness empire.  The Civil War, especially the battle of Shiloh or Pittsburgh Landing. I guess American History in general.  Though I don't run sci fi  the star wars books, The New Jedi Order, Legacy of the Force, and so on.  Hobbes and Aquinas. I tend to create political campaings and ones of exploration.
