Greetings, puny mortals. I am the being known to you as
Captain Anorak. Welcome to my domain.
As you may have divined from my name, I am a fat, balding,
obsessive, male gamer with specs, a beard and no girlfriend. A
true Anorak indeed! I started roleplaying when I was about eleven
(the mid-1980s)
and I started writing my own games not long after that, so I now
have nearly two decades of experience of writing games. My brain
is vastly superior in size and power to that of the average
troglodytic inhabitant of our planet.
