This page regroups the ancient part of my gaming history, screenshots, games I played along the years, and links to the various resources linked to my gamer tags. With the development of social sites for gamers like raptr, my most recent gaming activity can be tracked there, and this page will just remain as is, like a museum for my early gaming life.
Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition
Official Site
My Campaign
|
Thanks to the persistant efforts of Jared, I have returned to dungeon mastering for RPG, with 5th Edition.
I have been very impressed by the work done to restore D&D after the fiasco of 4th Edition, that transformed D&D to a tactical encounters game.
5Th Edition is a great edition, and the flavor and feel of D&D has returned!

About me
Gamer since 1981..
Started with Dungeons & Dragons 1st Edition, and then a variety of other Role Playing Games when 2nd Edition came out(Rolemaster, Runequest, Space Opera, Pendragon, Reve de Dragons...). I started computer games with Arcade games like Space Invaders, Asteroids or Lunar Lander, and then Apple II games, like lode Runner or Prince of Persia.
Played a lot of boardgames during my college years (Sword and Sorcery, Freedom in the Galaxy, Cosmic Encounter, Warrior Knights, Talisman...) as well as RPGs. Founded a RPG Gaming Club at Universite Jussieu in Paris ( Les Seigneurs de L'Astrolabe, and later created a RPG fanzine named Le Farfadet).
Later, with RL obligations, had to drop out of gaming for a while. Wife and 2 kids... you know.. Still managed to sneak a few games here and there, playing from home, including the awesome Ultima Online Beta, or F15 Strike Eagle, Counterstrike, Warcraft, Starcraft, or Ghost Recon... I mean, the kids were growing older, so I had more time, right?
Thanks to Magic the Gathering, Wizards of the Coast brought me back fuly into gaming, and then to the United States to work there. Beyond Magic itself, I played a lot of video games like Warbirds II, IL2, , or NeverWinter Nights, on which I spent two years coding a team-PvP Mod called NWTactics.
In the last 10 years, the games that got me hooked online were World of Warcraft, Company of Heroes, Eve Online, Battlefield II, COD Modern Warfare 2 while I was resuming playing D&D PnP, first under 3.5 then 4th Edition, as well as boardgames like Twilight Imperium, and more recently Star Wars: Rebellion.
Still playing today, of course

Star Wars Rebellion
Official Site
Production Calculator App
|
For many years now, my main gaming platform has been on computers, for ease of access mostly, but also because I played a lot of Eve Online. This boardgame brought me back to the gaming table. As one of the best 2-player boardgame out there, together with Lord of the Ribng Stratego-style Confrontation, Star Wars Rebellion is a modernized version of Freedom in the Galaxy meeting Twilight Imperium. I quickly found out that having a little app to determine production faster would be great, so I just created a Production calculator tool with Filemaker.
