About Me

I've been here, off and on, since 2006 but have not been very active for most of that time. In early 2019 I stumbled across the WikiProject Role-playing games, a project dedicated to improving and organizing wikipedia pages on my favorite hobby. Digging into it more I saw that they were right, many tabletop game subjects are completely missing and others, that have pages, are lacking detail. So I decided to hop on and help flesh those out, as well as help out in other places across Wikipedia whenever I can.

RPG Pedigree

I started playing tabletop role-playing games as a teenager in the late 90's with 2nd Edition AD&D, which I played with my friends until I moved away. Continued to play various game systems with various groups of players, either in my local area or at gaming conventions, since then. That includes but is not limited to D&D 3.0, D&D 3.5, D&D 4, Savage Worlds, various itterations of the D20 System, The Robotech RPG, Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, Rifts, and The Strange. To this day I play table-top games at least bi-weekly.

In addition the tabletop games, I have spent a lot of time playing various computer RPGs. My favorite series of games being Fallout, The Witcher, and The Elder Scrolls. I have also spent way too much time playing World of Warcraft and various other MMORPGs, like Eve Online, The Elder Scrolls Online, Elite Dangerous, Star Trek Online, and Star Wars: The Old Republic.

If you have any questions or want to talk to me about editing pages on any of the above, drop by my talk page and say hello. ―Vancian | 💬📜 

Drafts

I'm currently working on Drafts of the following pages. They may be extensive reworks of pages that need more work than a few minor edits can accomplish, or may be a new page I'm working on from scratch.

User:Vancian/Drafts/ENie_Awards - When I first saw this page it was a WP:Stub. What information was there was poorly referenced and much of it was out of date or incomplete. Copied it to my drafts to try to rework it to be more accurate, clear, and sourced. The changes needed are fairly extensive so I made a draft copy to get started and will copy my changes to the main page once I have a good foundation in place, after checking with some other users who have a vested interest in the page.
