Well, I've delayed this post long enough. As a lurker that's been around since pretty much the beginning, I figured it's about time I made an introduction thread.
I am a long time PnP player starting with those pink (I refuse to believe they were red) D&D basic boxes. My friends and I ran Keep of the Borderlands and never looked back. We quickly migrated to something more meatier and tackled 1st Ed AD&D and many many hours were spent on killing and looting (somewhere in between we did actual roleplaying). We stuck it through 2ed AD&D and THAC0 but after that our group dissolved. I played the computer games and continued to buy new editions even though I didn't play them. The books were still fun to read and to theorize how my old characters would transfer into the new systems.
My childhood dream of a virtual world became reality with MMOs. I always hoped someday someone would build a game that would use the FR setting. And here we are. I am hoping Neverwinter will be my gaming home for a long time.
I'm a big time roleplayer so I'll be one of those players who will be looking to create stories and actually give some life to our characters.
Welcome! My story is much like yours. Seems Neverwinter has attracted lots of us old PnP players. I hope all that experience will translate into some great Foundry missions!

Most of the people who have introduced themselves so far have been pnp players. I hope we get large amount of non-pnp players too to bring diversity to the game.
Even so, I also hope cryptic be always true to its D&D roots and not veer away from current approach.
Oh! And welcome!
