Hello, my name is Shawn and I'm a recovering alcoholic. Oh wait, wrong place! LOL!

Seriously though, I'm from the Dayton, Ohio area which is conveniently located between Cincinnati and Columbus. Besides my local group I occasionally play games against LoboStele, The Madman, jedispyder, squid89, soggybottomboy, typhoninc, etc. I'm fortunate to live in an area that has a lot of talented players; it keeps me on my toes. I attend Origins and GenCon every year, which means I've had the pleasure of meeting many of you in person. I really like SWMGamers.com, but I rarely have the chance to post here since the SWM Tradehouse takes up most of my spare web surfing time. Outside of SWM I also play Axis & Allies Mini's (including War at Sea), Star Wars Saga RPG, Dungeons & Dragons RPG, Bang, Marvel Heroes, Betrayal at House on the Hill, Darkness Fall on Sevenpold, and the ultimate party game Apples to Apples!

Feel free to look me up anytime you're in the area or at GenCon/Origins and maybe we can play a few games.

Shawn.

Welcome to the boards!

Welcome. I remember trading with way back when AAM first came out.

Glad to see you over here and thanks for all your work on the Tradehouse.

I would also mention your offspring. Polite, good player and understands personal hygine (great for a teenager). In a few years I expect him to finish off his "master" and assume the position of power.

My son Mark is very good player. As of this post he will be turing 16 in a few days, so it won't be long before he strikes me down.

HAHAHA
was he "Grounded" when you all came to Cincy?
he said something about haveing his mini's taken away....

Finally....you've falling to the dark side...err, I mean, light side.

You finally got here! We've only been telling you all about it for months now!

Glad you are here.

He had some issues with his grades, but I think he is back on track now. Despite what he would lead you to believe, he actually stopped playing long before the mini's were taken away. He started playing again about 2 months ago, but this time I am teaching him some responsibility. Everything he owns he must pay for and buy himself. Hardcore parenting strikes again!

I've been spending too much time playing SWM in Dayton, Cincinnati, and Columbus. Look out Cleveland...here I come!

nothing wrong with that-
my father did the same with me when I was younger
we need more parents with standards

Good on you for teaching your son some responsiblitly. It'll pay off in the end.
Great avatar by the way!
