It occurs to me, after looking at the tags, that I should have perhaps introduced myself first. So, here goes.
My name's Jacqueline. I live in Alaska. I try to spend a good deal of time outside, but I live in a rain forest with long dark winters, so I get a fair amount of indoor time, and gaming is a big part of that.
I'm a huge fan of interactive fiction, and I'm actually pretty active in the IF community. I run a weekly online IF gaming group (ClubFloyd), and each summer I run a programming competition mostly targeted at new authors/programmers (IntroComp). I like to write reviews of interactive fiction, graphic adventure, and sometimes videogames, though in writing this it occurs to me that there are a bunch of reviews piled up over at my LiveJournal account that I really need to port over to my website. Oh well, winter's coming, and there'll be time enough for that.
Maybe it's because I live in a really remote place (most of what I play is acquired by download), but I don't always run out to get the next cool thing. A lot of the stuff I love to play has been around awhile, and doesn't get old. Right now I'm rotating between Warband, American McGee's Alice, Planescape, and the occasional Civ 4, Tropico or Zangband game. I'm not, like, morally opposed to consoles, it's just that I already can't find enough hours in the day to do everything I want to do, and buying a console seems like a guaranteed way to lose yet more of my life.
On the table these days I seem to be quite fond of Arkham Horror, Tobago, Illuminati, Race for the Galaxy, Dominion, and Gloom.
I keep trying to get more into RPG stuff... my husband tried crafting something for me from scratch that he thought I'd love (and I do!), but for some reason we don't play it very often. He is of the opinion that most of the fun of RPGs is it being done with other people, but we live in a really small town (less than 1000 people), so that pretty much leaves online role playing. I have a group of friends that get together online and play a lot, so maybe I should ask if they'd take a newbie under their wing. Something to think about.
Anyway, that's me, gaming-wise. Glad to see this community exists. I was at PAX East this spring, and it seems to me there's more girls out there than people seem to think.
Looking very forward to watching this community!
