Hi, I'm Diane. I first saw Shard at GenCon 2008, and was very impressed. I was at Origins this year, picked up the whole set, and got to run in a game with Scott, which was quite fabulous in several senses of the word.
I've been playing roleplaying games since the mid 1970's. I started with those three little booklets put out by some guys named Gygax and Arneson, and then moved on to Tunnels & Trolls, Empire of the Petal Throne, GURPS, Space 1889, Paranoia, Metamorphosis Alpha, Call of Cthulhu, several home-brewed systems, and whatever else was available. I was very fortunate to have a fairly cohesive group through college and for several years afterwards, and after a short dry spell, got into another group that's been together for over 10 years now (The Amazing Institute of Blowing Things Up, Shooting People with Death Rays, and Other Cool Stuff). We're primarily GURPS and D&D, but I run some of the "weird" stuff -- In Nomine and Tekumel/EPT, to name a couple.
I'm also a language geek, so Shard's Sanskrit kind of feel appeals to me a lot. I'm looking forward to getting into the books and running something.
Namaste!
