The first in what is hoped to be a series of interviews on "The Making of a Gamer" will be posted in the General Forum soon. I had the honour of being the first interviewer and Zed-F was gracious enough to let himself be the guinea pig ... er ... inaugural interview subject. 
The first post will consist of a series of Q&A. Additional questions are welcome; they can be added as posts to the thread. If you think that the question you have might be a sensitive one, then ask it by private message to Zed, and he can decide for himself whether to answer it in public.
The interviews have several objectives. First, there is that question: What makes a Gamer and what brought us all to the Realms Beyond?
The second purpose of these interviews is to let us get a chance to know one another better. While we all love to game, we do come from many different backgrounds. These interviews will let us get a chance to know the 'subjects' better, and the subjects get a chance to talk a bit about themselves. Some of us have been gaming together, in one format or another, for almost 10 years; that is a big chunk of our lives, whether we consider it to be 'real life' or not.
A further purpose of the interviews is to give those of us who participate in only one of the covered games here at Realms Beyond a chance to know people from the other forums. I know I am looking forward to reading about some of you who play Civ or MOO, who I have yet to get a chance to meet in a game.
Best wishes to all of you. I hope you enjoy the read.
