Who Am I?
Name: Aleksei Andrievski
Web Nickname/Persona Name/Alter Ego: Solmyr, Archmage of the Azure Star
Birthdate: October 27, 1977
Birthplace: St. Petersburg, Russia
Living in: Helsinki, Finland, since 1992
Current Occupation: Student, Helsinki School of Economics and Business Administration
Hobbies: RPGs, computer games (CRPGs, strategy, some adventures), RPGs, history (of absolutely everything), linguistics, RPGs, reading books, drawing, and RPGs (I wish I had no life...)
RPGs Played: Mostly AD&D, although I play Mystara with D&D rules. I have also taken a look at Ars Magica, GURPS, HarnMaster, WFRP, and MERP, but AD&D remains my only true love. I also play ANKH (and if anyone not from Finland knows what that is, he will get a prize for having a Master's degree in RPGs :)
AD&D Campaigns: I am probably TSR/WotC's dream customer, since I am a fan of (in no particular order) Mystara, Forgotten Realms, Al-Qadim, Birthright, Dark Sun, Ravenloft, Planescape, and Spelljammer. I'm fairly neutral to Greyhawk, since I didn't have the chance to experience much of it (maybe that will change with its re-release), and for some reason which is obscure even to me, I absolutely despise Dragonlance.
Currently Playing In: Of course, my gaming group decided to throw the burden of DMing on my back (besides I'm the one with all the materials). I'm currently running campaigns in Mystara, Birthright, and Forgotten Realms (not all at once of course). In addition to that, I'm running the Mystaran Birthright PBEM and the Lands of the Holy Sun PBEM, the details of which you can find on this website. I did manage to squeeze my way in as a player in our ANKH campaign, and I'm also participating in several Birthright PBEMs on the web (In the Shadows of Deismaar, Fate of Nations, and Leave a Legacy).
Well, now that you know something about me, you can return to the main page and forget this boring stuff.
