Welcome to Nathmaria. 

In 1988, I met a friend that changed the way I thought about gaming.  Just a freshman in college, I sought my place in this big world.  Mr. Manning opened my eyes to what a person could become.  Involved in many interests, I always made time to game.  (For those that aren't familiar with the lingo, this refers to role playing games, such as D&D, however, not limited to it.)  Mr. Manning was a fellow gamer.  Sometime in my second month, he introduced a few of my friends and me to a system he was crafting.  We agreed to play test it for him, although we did not really call it this.  What emerged was a new found respect for him as well as what role playing could be.  To use other game terms, I went from a rail shooter to open sandbox.  He opened a story driven game instead of a planned event driven one.  I have used this model ever since.  The friends and memories I made have lasted this long.  Nathmaria was his world.

Over my time here, I will introduce you to the world, its denizens, and insight into Mr. Manning and my friends.  I welcome your comments.  I will endeavor to be prompt in my replies.  Enjoy.
