What's work inspires you the most? (speech, poem, painting, novel, etc..)

[Nomadic]

To be honest, probably the bible. I place great importance on faith in all its forms. Whether its faith in a primary concept like Christianity, Islam, Science, or any other overarching view of reality or simply the faith to believe you can do something. For me Christianity is the foundation I fall on when all else fails me. The Bible has been the inspiration that has helped me through tough times and been a guide. Some people might think less of me for that. However, I feel that no person can get through life without faith in something (even if they deny that faith). It is a part of the human condition.

On that note... what gives you hope and strength when you are down and having trouble?

[Llum]

Knowing that no matter how bad my life gets, someone somewhere else will have it worse, so its petty of me to waste my good fortune.

Favorite animated film? (Feature lenght or short)

[Steerpike]

The Nightmare Before Christmas if we're counting stop-motion. If we're not, then Princes Mononoke.  Although I loved the first third of WALL-E to death...

If you could live in any century other than the 20th/21st, which would you pick?

[Elemental_Elf]

I would pick the 17th Century! Why you ask?  Because I would act out a life-long dream of becoming Captain Jack Sparrow! You know, a life of fly-by your pants adventure and excitement, filled with as much rum and lusty tavern wenches as each Port can throw at ya... Yeah, being a Pirate would be awesome. Yo Ho, a Pirates Life for Me!

If you were an Emperor of Rome, would you be a benevolent Princeps or a lecherous, sex-obsessed dictator?

[Loch Belthadd]

I'd be the crazy one who sends armies out on a holy war against enemies only I can see or hear or have ever heared about.

what's your favorite RPG system?

[Nomadic]

Custom ones, especially those set up by friends. My favorites being systems that are easy to pick up and run with, and especially ones that are very modular.

What is your primary hobby?

[Acrimone]

I have four primary hobbies:

VTES  (Vampire: The Eternal Struggle)
Comic Books
Rolemaster/Campaign Development
Poker

What is the most important written list you keep?

[Nomadic]

I am not organized enough to keep a written list of anything.

What fantasy trope bugs you the most?

[Acrimone]

Names with apo'strop'hes.

What is the most famous book you ever quit reading halfway through because it sucked?

[Llum]

The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship Of the Rings.

What song is your guilty pleasure?

[Elemental_Elf]

Anime Janai, which was one of the Opening Songs to the anime ZZ Gundam! It's childish but fun, alluring yet not. Here's the Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68A3mCC3tKk

What's your least favorite classic video game?

[Acrimone]

I never developed the taste for Galaga (Galaxia?  Were they different games?), although I played it quite a bit with some friends.  I'd say it was my least favourite.

At what age did you first start to really feel like an adult?  (If ever)

[Elemental_Elf]

I've always considered myself 'grown up' at least compared to my peers however the first time I really felt it was when I was a Sophomore in High School. I don't know what it was about that year but my whole life changed, completely. I acquired a new set of friends, became less introverted and began to do even better in school. I can't pin down any one event but looking back on it that was the year, that was the year.

Which basic class do you identify with most - Fighter, Cleric, Rogue/Thief or Mage?

[Nomadic]

Probably a mix between rogue and wizard.
