Who am I?
I'm a 30 year old dad of a lovely 4 year old daughter. I'm married to my wife of 5 years. I'm currently unemployed from a job as a machinist and in school to get a degree in manufacturing to further my career.

I haven't really been playing a lot of tabletop games lately and mostly just play hearthstone and do homework when I'm not playing with my daughter. Since I left my last job my back has been in the best shape it has been in over 7 years and I've been able to exercise again losing 10 lbs in the last 3 months.

PREVED! I am Kirya, I am 15.
I grew up in Sevastopol, Crimea, but have moved around quite a bit since then. I have lived in Berlin, Kent and Scotland and now I live in the Netherlands. As a result, I can speak 5 different languages, which is awesome.
I go to school and deliver newspapers each morning, which gives me money to spend on my hobbies. I love sailing, mountainbiking, videogames and of course miniatures. I am also extremely fond of balloons, KV-tanks, and Putin.

Fixed that for you

My father is also former security forces

20, studying Computer Engineering, planning to intern for Crane, a Navy Defense Tech firm this summer, designing boards for them. I might alternatively do some Three Phase Power analysis, or Power Factor Correction, who for, I don't know.

I'm a frat bro (I'm our athletic chair), l'm addicted to the gym, and I'm as of this last Tuesday single...ladies?

Dutch Elctrical Design Engineer living in Japan the last 10 years, and i am 43 years old, been in the HHHobby from 1989.

A serious answer for this.

I'm 23, a genius by birth, and an idiot by association. I'm the fattest thin person you'll ever meet. I'll silently voice how I'm better than everyone else around me, rightfully so, whilst letting themselves be better.

I'm always happy, yet I moan constantly, though you could put that down to being British.

I don't have any hobbies as enjoying things is for fools. I do spend a lot of time gaming, both tabletop and otherwise.

Truly, all of you should bask in my glory, for when will you see such brilliance otherwise.

I'm a 22 year old painting student in her senior year of her undergrad. I've got a boyfriend who introduced me to wargaming. Prior I spent most of my time playing a boffer combat game called Amtgard, and wasting away my nights playing pathfinder until the wee hours of the morning.

My paintings for school are all figurative realism in oil, but I also try desperately to aquire skills in digital art. My current digital project is a women of 40k illustration series including so far SoB, Eldar, and Daemonettes.

I have green hair.
I work at a Pacsun in a mall and sell clothes to teenagers.
I fluctuate in and out of a Minecraft addiction every couple of months.

Well there is always the dakka dakka minecraft server once you contribute more

I'll have a go. I am 40's single dad with a 5 year old little girl. Contractor with the US military and living in Thailand at the moment. A gemologist, weapons collector, and war games hobbyist . I Don't have time to play games anymore.

However, my daughter and I have invented a new game. We call it War toys. I'm starting to get her involved in war games hehehehe. The War toys is we each set up our toys (my little pony and smurfs action figure, blah blah blah) across the table and we each have a turn of getting a small toy car (you roll back and release and it goes) to knock them. the winner is last toys standing. We also each get 15 jinga wood block to build our defense. I actually like this game and it encourage both of us to come up with jinga construction of defense. The game is challenging in the deploying and building the jinga. She is getting good. I let her win sometime. But sometime she really beat me because of my "fail" Jinga defense design. This game is actually very fun against other grown up. The first time my brother build his Jinga fort... was silly. You don't build it high.. you build it low to slow the car down... any way....

Hahaha I actually found that my first week on dakka. They don't take people their first week in though, for understandable reasons.
Luckily I've been on a low point with my minecraft addiction lately. I'm sure it will start back up in a few months, hopefully just in time to prove my worth to the whitelisting folks of the server

I will not divulge my true name, but the perceptive few may suss it out anyway.

I have been a tree nursery manager, a newspaper editor and a cashier. My most recent profession is attorney, where I dealt in child custody and divorce matters. That last job, like all jobs, is a 'mixed-bag'.

A little while ago, the opportunity to become a stay-at-home dad for my twin toddlers appeared and I said "Yes." I am grateful for the opportunity and for not chickening out.

My wife is great and I love her, but she is a boss and one should not trifle with her.

I have been in the wargaming hobby since 1993(?) but I am more serious about it now as I have some cash and am a grown-ass man.

Thailand is pretty much the Gemology capitol of the world. It's a great thing to get into if you have the spare cash. I started this myself about a year ago.

24 yo seconded, first year, nursing student living in Reading, hoping to go into oncology at the moment. Used to play rugby until my knees gave up at the ripe old age of 12. When I'm not at uni or doing bank work at the hospital as a HCA for extra cash, I play this strange game called war hammer, have done since 2000. I try to play guitar but fail, enjoy reading, tv and xbox. Ice hockey is one of the best sports out there and I want to go to Boston one day to watch the Bruins play.

Oh and I was born Friday 13th, unlucky for some, not me.

Well.... Name is Josiah, 32 going on 33 in April, work for the IRS(business not personal tax) out in Utah, divorced but have a wonderful girlfriend. Spend most of my free time in the local comic book shop or playing some sort of game, video or tabletop. Goal is to buy a house sometime next year and raise a family.
