Glad you like this site. I like intelligent, down-to-earth people to talk to, and you're surely one of them (along with 667, Zale, Wish and the others).
I like talking to people on here, cause it makes people more accessible, and pretty much keeps me in contact with folks I otherwise would never have met (I mean srsly, when would a black person EVER go to super-cold Michigan unless they knew somebody there, or grew up there themselves). As for the roleplay thing, D&D's never been my cuppa tea either (even though I like some of the creatures I see in their books); the kind of roleplay here suits me best...
Personally, it's nice to be able to express my creativity through the RP, the adjoined character thread and all the other threads here...
