Roleplaying Games

I've played RPGs since I was, god, since the summer between fifth and sixth grade, which means I must have been about eleven. I'm now 29, which means I've been gaming for more than half my life. Lord. Kill me.

I've recently started doing some freelance RPG work. You can get a list of that stuff here; it's also a fine place to go if you want to hire me to write stuff for you.

Elsewhere on these pages can be found a link to my own gameworld, Talar, but, anyway. I've played a lot of RPGs in those years. What follows is a brainstormed list of them (links are links to text of my own; within those are links to good sites I have found for the game in question):
