WHAT DO YOU DO?

[Wicked Tinker]

I was stationed in a little town called Bad Aibling, which is south of Munich. I believe the largest town around was Rosenheim. A funny thing happened a few years ago. I remember that I always bought beer from a tiny village called Aying. Practically every town and village had their own brew. Anyway, a few years ago, I saw Ayinger Brau on sale here in the states, which blew my mind. I loved Germany and would love to go back.

Yeah Germany was great, Even though I was little when I was there, I have very good memories and remember seeing alot of things. I have always wanted to go back to Germany. I grew up in Mainz Germany, Near Wiesbaden,before coming back to the states, By the time I got back I spoke german, english, and was learning french. So long ago. Wish I could remember half of it.

I'm pleased to hear such nice things about Germany! I'm living in Erlangen near Nuremberg.

 

[Bregales]

Wow, very cool. I learned 1 & 1/2 years of the German language when I was in high school after 4 years of Spanish, nowadays allI can say is Ich hatte vergessen wie sagt man das in both langauges

The first time I ever went to Germany (so many years ago :roll: ) was to Lauf an der Pegnitz, a small town near Nuremberg. I wonder how it does fare by now...
Let us have a German session on this forum.

Das wäre doch ein wenig unhöflich, oder?

This would be a little unpolite, wouldn't it? :wink:

Not at all, it seems many of us there know your language which isn't easy to learn.

 

[René]

But then I can't practice my English anymore... :wink:

It is Greek you should learn, don't you? Or do you prefer linear A and B fromthe Cretan League? :wink:

You should try polish. In one of our cult comedies a German officer during WW2 asks the main character for a name in order to put it down for some record. The Pole says "Grzegorz Brzeczyszczykiewicz" (yes, these ARE actual words). When the officer finally manages to write it down, he asks for the Pole's place of birth and hears "Chrzaszczyrzewoszyce powiat Lekolody".

I'll hope on the Germany bandwagon as well I was stationed in Mannheim at Coleman Barracks. I loved it over there and when it was time for me to get out of the service I attempted to stay in country. A buddy and me both did they let him stay and I was sent back to the states to be released. It was a great time and I traveled everywhere and did as much as I could while I was there, the most notable being climbing the Zugspitz, Germany's highest mountain.

 

[René]

Ah, Mannheim: I was for one year at the town next to Mannheim, the wonderful Heidelberg at university. And yes, I was one of the fraternity (Burschenschaft) guys with their coloured hats, their foxes and Bierkruege - I am still one, but now of the quiet type ("Alter Herr") since I'm writing my thesis which isn't compatible with active fraternity life.

 

[the_neck]

I was a nuclear engineering officer in the U.S. Navy. I just got out a couple months ago. I have my B.S. in mechanical engineering. Now I am getting ready to do some vagabonding/english teaching throughout the world, and then I plan on going to the University of Nevada at Reno to work on becoming an educational psychologist.

For fun I rock climb, kayak, mountain bike, read (S&S, fantasy, philosophy (stoic), mythology/folklore, and history), write (fantasy and S&S), watch football, exercise (cross-fit), GM Conan, and eat vast amounts and various types of food.

I am new to these forums, and I would like to say that it is a pleasure to be here to discuss the worlds greatest RPG with such a diverse and friendly group of people.

I'm from a very small town in Southeast Texas (one of the towns that the eye of Hurricane Rita passed right over) and I telecommute for a company in Houston. I'm currently helping my company develop software to audit large corporations like hospitals and airlines. When I'm not doing that I help "scrub" massive data stores for importation into that system.

I'm married to a wonderful woman that teaches at the local middle school. She just attained her Masters degree in Education Administration and will be moving on to an admin job in the near future. I've got an 11 year old son that enjoys the same things that I do.. fantasy literature, roleplaying, and computer games.

I currently run a Conan RPG game for two of my friends and so far we are loving it. When I'm not running Conan I run the Midnight d20 fansite : www.againsttheshadow.org (we were nominated for ENnie this year too!). I also enjoy running Iron Kingdoms and recently stopped running Forgotten Realms after doing so for over 15 years.

When I'm not gaming I enjoy painting miniatures and while I'm not the world's greatest, my players like them.

My wife and I also enjoy musicals... Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables.. Luckily, my son of 11 has taken an interest in them as well. At 10 years old he could tell you what Jean val Jean's prison number was

Anyway, thats me in a roundabout way.

Oh, and my username came from an episode of Seinfeld, where Seinfeld was accused of hating dentists and was called a "Rabid Anti Dentite"... The rest is history

Ive traveled around Germany three times in my younger days. I loved their beer, especially their Weissen beer served in the distinctive hourglass-shaped glass and topped with a slice of lemon. You can buy it in bottles here but having it fresh from the tap there was fantastic. Great tasting beer. I loved Germany too- seeing all those castles and ruins on practically every hilltop and mountain really puts one in the mind for some serious RPGing.

As for what I do, I work the third shift at a helpdesk supporting a large well known hotel chain with their computer related problems. Its cool 'cause I get to stay at 5 star hotels all around the world at employee rates. So far I've taken advantage of this mostly in the States, staying at employee rates in NYC, Washington DC, Dallas, Boston and others. Another cool thing about it is that fact that I get to speak with people from all over the world and have developed relationships with people from China, Australia, Africa, Japan, India, and numerous nations throughout Europe. I've been doing it for 5+ years now and find its quite a good gig.

I have fond memories of SLC. Certainly the place if you like to rock climb or ski (Alta is the best unless you like to snowboard).

Like to eat ? If you like thai, try the Mekong (assuming its still there on State street) and go for the yellow curry (to DIE for).

For gaming, your best bet is see what clubs the university has.

I work in a computer store as a sales manager. Nice job if you like to talk to people. I've been playing rpgs for 21 years now, and I think that Conan is best so far. Though I've had a really good time with the other games as well...
