Games



Internet Games

On the Internet I mainly play MUDs and Free Civilisation II. In case you want to play on-line games through a firewall you can use my telnet client, which is quite unlike all the other ones out there. It is now running 24 hours a day, and part of Mosha. I also play video games, and recently installed linux on my Playstation 2 (PS2), and wrote a multiplayer adventure game on it. I'm now building my own computer using the PICmicro.

Roleplaying

I used to play many roleplaying games, ranging from ICE's Rolemaster to White Wolf's Ars Magica, but don't do so at the moment. I hope to pick it all up some time, though.

Also, there is the `live roleplaying' which can be done with the SCA. I used to be with the VCA, which is the dutch part of the SCA, and continued with the SCA in Rochester for the first few years. I then switched to the Jaycees, a volunteer organisation. I'm currently secretary of our chapter, and CPG program manager of New York State.

Collectable trading card games

What I do at the moment are mostly collectible trading card games, I know, they're not roleplaying... But the link was called `games', wasn't it? Here are some of the links to some of the trading card games that I used to do...

The Star Trek the next generation collectable trading card game, which I started playing because of a good friend of mine who was interested in Star Trek. I then got interested in the game, and through that in Star Trek itself... I also have an interest in Tolkien, and when ICE decided to start the Middle Earth: The Wizards game, I had to buy it. So I played that as well. As the Tolkien sons withdrew the license to ICE to make more profit of the movie, this card game is now unfortunately dead.

I also played Jyhad (Vampire, the Eternal Struggle), the second game that the Wizards of the Coast brought out. I once visited them, and I got a deck from them.

Travelling

I like travelling, and went to India several times. I wrote stories about these trips: 1 2 3 4 and 5.

Other fun things

I also like to walk, volleyball (though I stopped doing that, except for an occasional play at Hotshots with the Jaycees), and figure skating (my heroine is Kristi Yamaguchi, who unfortunately turned professional and is therefore less on Dutch television.I did see her in 1996 in Wisconsin, though, and in 2004 in Rochester, of all places, where she was a guest star in Smucker's Stars on Ice).

LEGO

I'm still a kid, so I still play with LEGO...
