When I get time for myself I'm a gamer. Board games, some computer games, word games, quizes, game shows, panel games - I love them all. But my favourite type of game is table-top role-playing.

  I even ran a gay Star Trek role-playing group for eight years, QUEST (Queens United in the Experience of Star Trek). A couple of years ago I played Dungeons & Dragons with a group in Wolverhampton, but my jobs started to get in the way of my game life.

  At some point soon I'd like to start a gay gamers group in Birmingham, meeting up twice monthly to play board games and RPGs. So if you're interested contact me (I have three players lined up at the moment so we're close to critical mass) and maybe we can organise something.

  Right now I'm still buying role-playing books, and many of us long term addicts do, even when we aren't actively playing. I'm mostly buying the new Mongoose Traveller, but I've also foun myself drawn to SpyCraft 2.0 and its sister poduct FantasyCraft produced by Crafty Games and also distributed by Mongoose Publishing.

  In the meantime my gaming life manifests itself via my game websites; which you can explore for yourself.

  As for console gaming; I have Sony's Playstation 3 (the orginal UK console, so it plays most PS2 games too), with loads of downloaded movies and games.
