Given the size of this Introductions thread, I will make the easy guess that it is customary to introduce oneself. I am an OD&D player and ref from early on in '74. Didn't really game with anyone famous, but was around some. I am also am into doing mash-ups to suit the mood. Used to play a lot, but not really at all the last 20-25 years. A chance conversation led to me hearing about this place and here I am. I did not know that there were places like this. It is overwhelming to look at, considering that I was told there are places much larger than this, I marvel that people can find anything. So I am going to poke around and see what there is to see.

Welcome to The Ruins Knuter Bug, yeah it can be intimidating on first glance. We are more sprawling than most forums; however, we would like to think that there is a rhyme and reason to it. We have been kicking around the idea of creating an index to explain the organization to our membership and to the unregistered lurkers too. Happy to have you here and we do like to receive input and suggestions. No promises, but we will take a look at, at least having a plan for creating an Index.

Knuter Bug I started a thread here where I suggested a mini-publication with reffing experience, tips, ideas, and just whatever notes from people who reffed a lot bitd and have a lot of experience. Whether you would want to contribute to a PDF or not, there are plenty of folks here who would be happy to read whatever you might say about your experiences at the table. I know you just got here, but if that is interesting to you, feel free to say something on that thread or even start your own.

Ruins fanboy here, finally decided to de-lurk and register. Welcome and welcome! I do hope you are using fanboy for humor, from your posts so far I can see that you are way more respectable that that.

Welcome, Morton ! You've got a full decade on me. I didn't discover D&D until the Air Force sent me to Zweibrucken [West] Germany in 19 and 84. Thankee raikenclw and mad respect for a veteran too! They wouldn't take me, as my body is messed up. I've heard that Germany was not a bad place to be stationed. They almost didn't take me, either. I have really flat feet; no discernible arch at all . . . Intake Doctor, looking doubtfully at my awkward stance: "Hmmm. What service?" Me: "Air Force." Doctor: "Eh, you'll do then. Next!" Germany was pretty great. Except for the annual NATO exercises - 12 hours of simulated combat conditions in a wet, cold concrete/sandbag bunker then 12 hours off, for three days straight - and the *potential* of anti-nuke demonstrations, it was essentially a paid vacation, at least for Clerk Typist me.
