Hey everybody, just thought I'd introduce myself.
I've been GMing since 1979 and have played a wide variety of systems. Since their introduction Spelljammer and Planescape have been the baseline settings for all of my fantasy campaigns.
I'm the List Ogre for the Spelljammer Yahoo Group. I've also been a manager on the Official Planescape Website (Planewalker.com) since 2004, and have been an ongoing contributor to the Official Spelljammer Website (Spelljammer.org) since 2001. Since relocating from New Orleans to Cincinnati two years ago I have also become active in the Southwest Ohio Gathering of Gamers and act as admin on their Facebook page.
I'm a pro blogger and social media consultant in what passes for real life. I am usually shepherded through my day by three bossy cats and the brilliant printmaker I married.
So, who is ready for Thor to hit the theaters?
-Loki

Wow, and to think I was born in 1979! That is some pedigree you've got there. Well I hope you find the tools here at the OP to be of help to you in running your campaigns, I can tell you that they've been a huge boon to me and my two groups. If you aren't already familiar with it, Chainsaw has put together a handy "Tips":http://forums.obsidianportal.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=1114&page=1#Item_42 page to help people get started formatting their wikis. Also, since Planescape is your thing, here are two of my favorite Planescape campaigns:
"Shimring":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/shimring
"Planescape":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/planescape-campaign
Hope that you have fun building your site and holler if you have any questions, this here is a really friendly bunch and I'm sure someone has probably got the answer to any formatting questions you might have.
Cheers,

I'd already tracked down some other Planescape games (and was proud to see our 3.5 update of the setting from Planewalker being used as the baseline in a few), but ad not seen Shimring before. Looks like a good one!
I'm not going to be massively social until a few weeks go by, most of my time will be populating the campaign wiki. Got all my copyright permissions together and am cranking out several pages a day.
Once it's a little more presentable I'd love your opinion on The Spelljoined. Give me some time to get it dossed up.
Natural 20s to you!

I was a player in an AMAZING planscape camapign many years ago, but due to college I missed a huge chunk of the game, my character for that game is among my favorite all time characters (Ahh, memories...). Since then I have loved the setting and occasionally include elements in my own games. I remember getting a spelljammer box set when I was still fairly new to gaming and loved reading through the material but I was young and new to gaming so I really had no idea what to do with it (what a shame...).
Glad to formally meet you DML. :)

A lot of the stuff going up is the collective work of our teams on Spelljamer.org and Planewalker.com an is credited where this is so. That said, here's something to check out, mostly the work of the amazing Silverblade, it's full 3D deck plans for the party's Dragonfly class ship:

With badasses like that allowing me to use their work I am standing on the shoulders of giants.

I agree with Arsheesh that you will find the community here very helpful and supportive and as a DM tool, you will find out for yourself how useful it is. As for RPGaming time, you even beat ME by two years. In 1979 I had read everything by Tolkien and was playing RISK. I saw my first article relating to D&D in 1981 and drove to the nearest town that sold the RED BOX! It changed my life!
DarkMagus also works like a demon and I firmly believe that his music site input is very useful to many players. I am sure you will also be interested by his "Illumnos":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/the-ilumnos-series campaign.
Welcome to the site and I look forward to conversing further in the future.

Great to meet both of you. Sorry for the brevity of replies but I've got a lot of data to drag into my wiki + the formating. Looking forward to more quality interaction soon. In the meant time I've got a lot of text and art to upload...
Hey Twiggyleaf- remember when psionics were one percentile table in the back of the DMG?
Duskreign- we'll need to talk Wyrmshadow when my time frees up.

Big waves to everyone else here... just wanted to say "Hi!" since I am also an old-school gamer from the 70s, and happen to be playing in Loki's Spelljoined campaign.
See, I'm slowly dragging my game group onto OP...

I started gaming in 1977, so it's great to see another _veterano de los juegos de rol_ on the Portal.
