-- A Champagne Bottle of Nerd: Gamer, Librarian, Mommy --

Greetings! I am an academic librarian by day, gamer & mommy by night. You can find me online by the handle: Angemaler. Creative writing is not exactly my forte; I have no imagination. I do, however, have an eye for structure and a desire to capture and preserve gaming moments for later (go figure with the whole librarian thing going on for me). I started my very first Pathfinder RPG campaign as a noob player a few years ago, and it felt natural to me to chronicle what was happening in the game so that we could refer to it later. This chronicling project has turned out to be a 400 page document that was printed as the book Of Shattered Lands, and Ancient Plans (available here), and more writing has been done revolving around the wonderful world of tabletop RPG's. To be frank, it seems to be a bit of a waste to not share it, so here I am. Our group is now in the middle of a new campaign that I am feverishly writing as we speak, although this story is likely not to be uploaded here until I am done and satisfied with it.

The games I enjoy playing are tabletop RPG's, fantasy RPG's, and board games. I also read; my favorite authors are J.R.R. Tolkien, Terry Pratchett, J.K. Rowling, and Jane Austen. These hobbies of course are all squeezed aside for my young son, who I am excitedly introducing to these wonderful worlds.

The artwork for my profile was done by my sister in watercolors, and represents my Pathfinder character, Simbelmyne, with her bear companion Rauros.
