Disabled Veteran (Navy)

I started playing TTRPG’s around 25 years ago with some weird homebrew thing then got “enlightened” to DnD 3.0 and progressed through 3.5, 4E, Pathfinder 1.0, and 5E.  There’s been some dabbling in GURPS, Masquerade and Starwars, but I like 5e the most.  I believe Rules As Written (RAW) were playtested enough by experts that they should be used and only deviate a little so one homebrew character doesn’t overshadow others.  I do take liberties as the DM, but it’s usually for player benefit.  I’m not dictating a movie.  We are collectively telling a story and hopefully making a memory.
DnD Feats:
I was part of a campaign that had lasted for over 13 years.
Around college age I ran a game for about 24 hours with a break for about 6 while we slept.
I won a pre-release copy of R.A. Salvatore’s Timeless A Drizzt Novel by creating and submitting the backstory of a level 1 character.
