Gaming History
Siin has been involved in role playing games of one sort or another for nearly 2 decades now. His first experience into the gaming world was granted by his cousin Joe in a single one off D&D game with his brother, Adam. It lasted about an hour, and involved the players basically getting into a bar fight and fleeing the town authorities. The next venture into gaming would again come from Joe, but this time would be for a game called Shadowrun. Joe ran a few games while the brothers were visiting family in Texas, and once they returned home they quickly talked their parents into buying the main Shadowrun book. Starting with Second Edition, the brothers played Shadowrun as often as they could manage, sometimes with it being only themselves. They created characters randomly, just to see what builds they could manage.
For several years, Shadowrun was as far as Siin had ventured into the gaming world. Occasional glimpses of D&D occurred (because really, what is any gaming history without D&D in there somewhere?), but almost without exclusion, the game of choice was Shadowrun. In time, Adam picked up Vampire: The Masquerade, and began running those games as well. As Adam was possessed of a darker humor and a fantastic gift for description and storytelling, the White Wolf Storyteller system was a perfect match for him.
Sometime in the beginning of the 2000's Siin met up with Wendy Donges and Michael Hoover through work, and became good friends with them. Wendy had experience with another Storyteller system, Mage: The Ascension, and offered to run a game for Mike and Siin. This rapidly became the pair's new favorite game. The freeform method of magic and the amazing stories that Wendy was able to weave created a dynamic game that lasted 4 years before a falling out occurred between Wendy and the group. Despite the bad blood that was generated, she is still revered as an amazing gamemaster that literally shaped how Mike and Siin game to this day.
Siin returned to gaming with Shadowrun off and on several times, and has continued using it into its 4th edition. He still plays Mage actively, and even runs games now and then. All indicators point to a life-long hobby in gaming, and it will be unlikely to see him completely bow out of gaming any time soon.
