Hi all,
My name is Nick. I am an Assistant Professor over at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. I've been in and around tabletop games for a large portion of my life. I started with 2nd edition though i've been playing each of them here and there as I can. I just finished my PhD back in 2018. What a year it's been since then!
Way back in...1998/99? I was an admin at gamingoutpost.com. It was a super popular place back when RPG.net had been sold off to some tech bros and looked like it was going to close. I decided to go back to college around 2005 after my life had mostly fallen apart. Now i'm back and writing about Dungeons and Dragons and PLATO.
I met Griff via Twitter and some other folks in the history of D&D over the years. I have some free time this summer and so I wanted to try and start a side-project about programming education via D&D. Need to establish a position first, though.
Nice to meet you all!
