I'm not a new member but I'll play along.
My user name simply means that I have less time to go as I've gotten older so instead of being a "full time" gamer like I was back in school I am now a "semi-retired gamer".

Well this account is newer because originally my account was the Admin account. The Perilous Dreamer is a name I have used for a very, very long time. It was created at the same time the pen name Halenar Frosthelm was created as a name to write under. It means that my ideas are dreams and that they can be perilous and hazardous. When I first started school, I rode a school bus 90 minutes in the morning and 90 minutes in the evening as we traveled a sizable area of country roads. I spent anytime that I was left alone looking out the window and off in a daydream creating things every day of grade school. High school was only 30 minutes away and daydreaming during that ride was not an option.

My heart is true IRL my hair is black (well graying now, but started out black) and The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe is my favorite poem.

My user name is from a western themed D&D game we ran a long, long time ago. Kwalish Kid, just sounded good to me.

Aurelious is supposed to sound and look Roman, even though on a second glance it is not a real Roman name. (history buffs or Latin knowledgeable will not need the second glance.)

Kwalish Kid definitely has a cool ring to it. It was from a very long, long time ago as I said, it was a mashup of D&D and Boot Hill. I don't know if I still have any of it or if I do what box it might be in. If I run across it I will share it.

Oh, there might be an odd or end here or there in a box, but mostly, mostly not.

What does my name mean? Well my first character was Death Even which meant that Death comes for everyone and everything, even you, yes you and even me, yes me. This is the 13th character by that name. All related, same family, when one falls the next one steps up to carry the name.

Yeah, Last week at my parents house going through my childhood drawings I found a character sheet I had made when I was 8 (I think. There is no date on it). I didn't even know what D&D was at the time it would be 10 more years until I finally played it. It was made purely from my cousin explaining how to draw a character sheet from someone at his school. I had totally forgotten that the sheet existed but suddenly remembered so much about it. Needless to say, I was ecstatic at the discovery.

Scan it and post it, we want to see it.

Lucounu, or the Laughing Magician, is the yellow bloated eccentric and insufferable archetypal wizard from The Eyes of the Overworld and Cugel's Saga by Jack Vance that I guess most people in here will recognize from Appendix N. If you haven't read those books yet I cannot recommend them enough!
