Hello fellow gamers/nerds/geeks I am David Mankoff, and I just want to have some fun with some cool people. Klosak is a good guy, and I hope to play some D and D, some MTG, and learn some new games and make a few friends along the way. I used to play D and D a ton until our GM couldn't balance life. If anyone has any questions, PM me, or respond here!

Nice to meet everyone, and I hope to have some fun!

You should see if you could join in on Dan's brothers game which meets on Saturdays (it's D&D 4.0). Or try out our Sunday sessions of Starwars or Marvel.

For a full list of current games see here:

Yea what Bob said.

When I am a guest at a convention I am there to entertain people and add to the fun they have at the event. thus, unless the game session is advertised as one where the objective is to kill the PCs--and I've done a few of those--I try to keep PCs alive. Of course if a player doesn't want to have his character survive, the natural selection process of the game environment will take over.
