Favourite book?

Sky battle in Fire on the Sands.
Any interesting Lone Wolf stories?
heh, just read the stuff on PA forums.
Lone Wolf RPG Stuff
Have you played the RPG yet?
Yes
Which classes have you played?
NPCs count? Oh damn, I can't say on them in case my players read this <.<
Mage and Kai
Favourite classes and why?
I have to say I loved playing a brotherhood mage - I didn't even want to originally, but I think she ended up one of my favorite characters to date (although I'm playing a new one that may trump her)
Least favourite classes and why?
I haven't played enough to really have one.
Any good Lone Wolf gaming stories to tell?
heh, I totally loved my mage character. She sorta screwed all her allies over It was fun. If only she didn't die in the end
General RPG gaming stuff
How long have you been into RPG?
PnP - only like a year or two now, but I loved computer ones for ages. I got my start on the old DOS Eye of the Beholder series, might and magic, and Baulder's Gate
Which are your favourite worlds?
Have to say Magnamund, but it's been the more elaborate so far! Also like Thedas, may run a DA campaign sometime in the future...
Least favourite?
That I've played? I have such issues picking least, I love too much! Savage Worlds, I guess.
Other:
Suppose this would be the area to give credit where it's due - LW was where I discovered real RPGs. I've had these characters and stories locked up in my brain for years, and the folks who've played the games with me have allowed me to have an outlet for some of that creative energy. Thus my eternal gratitude for the game and the people I've played with both over MSN and on RPOL. You folks rock
