Who am I?

My name is Nadka. Well, its Neelia. No, its Sunshine. OK - my given name is Erin and I now have 4 names. Nadka is my Umbragen assassin from Eberron. Neelia is my Troll Mage from World of Warcraft. I don't remember where Sunshine came from but she really kicks ass!

I vaguely remember how I got all these names and when I started playing all these games. I don't remember what made an MBA with her own business try to game with folks who've been doing this for years. I don't have the time to perfect stuff they've learned over many, many years. While I was dating, partying, drinking and traveling, these folks were slaving away over hex maps and computers, over books and miniatures, honing their craft so that any military strategist would be hard pressed to figure out how to beat them (on a theoretical basis). The bottom line is I haven't gotten a solid hold on any of these games. I am a noob(newbie). I roll 1's and have no idea why that's bad. I have never read the player's manual. And I damn sure don't intend to spend my spare time on non-travel books. I see you're confused; so am I.

I'll take you with me you through the world of RPG so you can learn what mistakes not to make, what REALLY annoys gamers, and what gamers like. Yes, I'll stumble my way through it so you don't have to. Thank goodness my boyfriend's the GM...
