Hello all, I just finished the last book in the series and I went looking for some answers and I stumbled into here! This seems like a fine place to kick up my feet, light a pipe of good Two Rivers tabac, and talk shop. I always love a bit of RP, too.

To answer the prompt questions:

1. Favorite Character & Why - Matrim Cauthon. He just wants to live a normal life, but the weave keeps pulling him along. I just love the way he reacts to getting dragged into those situations and how he always tries to be himself, even when Fortuona dresses him up.
2. How did I find this place? See intro. Also, I liked what I saw; intelligent and calm debate about ideas.
3. What do I do? I am currently going back to college (I was in the Army for a bit). I like pretty much everything about the outdoors, I enjoy hiking and all that nonsense. I am also a huge nerd. I like video games, comic books, anime, and fantasy/sci-fi books. I am trying to get into cosplay, but making the costume is a long and hard process, especially if you don't have a place to work!
4. Favorite Non-WoT book/author: I have to chose just one? Well, my most recent favorite is the Monster Hunter International by Larry Correia Now that I think about it, it is really very similar to WoT, but with a "I'll just shoot the BBEG in the face" vibe.

Thanks for all the encouragement. I am wondering if there is a specific place for RP, if y'all do that here.

I am doing cosplay as well ! Have you already worked on some cosplay ideas?

I have plenty of ideas, plenty... :look: I am currently working on a Mat Cauthon cosplay, but cutting a jacket on a 3' by 1 1/2' board is... challenging. I also want to do an Aiel cosplay when I get to a place where I can make the props.

What are you studying?

I am studying Outdoor Education and Outdoor Ministry. Outdoor Education will let me work in a variety of outdoor settings. I can't stand the idea of sitting at a desk day after day staring at a screen.

There is some light RP in fun, but we don't really do much serious RPing.

You can get pretty creative with crafting when you need to... I usually cut things on the floor, although I've been known to use the dining room table if it is something I'm worried about getting too dirty or full of dog hair...

Hello & welcome! It's great to have you with us!

I've been meaning to read Monster Hunter by Correia but haven't actually picked it up (I dislike the cover artwork... :look:). I'll have to move it up again in my reading queue as I really do want to read it. :fistbump

Do you have a larger space to lay the fabric out & just slide your cutting board around under the fabric? I am a quilter & have quite limited space so I sometimes have to get creative with cutting too, it definitely makes it more difficult!

Good luck with the Mat Cosplay ! I was thinking about working on it myself, but it was a lot of work. Working on Piper's costume from Fallout 4 at the moment :pleased-1:

Welcome to our community! :D It is great to have you here. As everyone else offered, do let us know if you need anything.

As far as RP goes, we barely do any on the actual site. However, there are people here who do enjoy a bit of it, so if anything, you can probably write something with them off-site. :pleased-1:
