Default Greetings from Loren Wiseman

If anyone here says "Who is Loren Wiseman?" I direct them to look at the contents page of any of the GDW T2K books. I was line Manager for Twilight: 2000 when it was published by GDW, and wrote a lot of stuff.

So whuts all this then?

Hey! It's that guy who rejected the Twilight 2000 articles I submitted to Challenge Magazine... oh my god... was it really 20 YEARS AGO?

I was going to be all mad and indignant about your rejection of my articles... but then I just felt old.

Welcome! What we really appreciate is insights into how the project came about and what you have been doing lately. And where can I send all that cash I made on the empties that we drank late into the night why playing your masterpiece!

Your efforts are very much appreciated, so much so that I even named my daughter Loren.

Welcome,

and thank you for your part in creating Twilight 2000. Although it had a few quirks, I found it to be a chillingly realistic portrayal of something that fortunately hasn't happened (yet).

Any thoughts on Twilight 2013? In a few years that'll be outdated too. Maybe they should just throw caution to the wind and move straight on to TW 2100, with droids, supermutants and powerarmour.

Welcome, Mr. Wiseman (may I call you Loren?). Thank you for your part in creating this quaint little game that we all love so much.

I picked up my first T2K boxed set in '86, at the age of 11. My interest waned during my college years but I never forgot about it. I rediscovered T2K about 5 years ago when I found this board's direct predecessor and I've never looked back. I currently GM and play online.

Welcome, and thank you. It was Twilight:2000 that really taught me how to be a GM.

You (and everyone else) may do so, unless you think it might cause me to be confused with Legbreaker's daughter . . . Loren is the most common male spelling (Lauren the most common female one) but I have encountered two female Lorens in my day, so it is a true mark of distinction.

And she's an extremely intelligent 9 year old too. Maybe it's all in the spelling? :S

welcome Loren!

I still remember on a previous incarnation of this forum, someone new to T2k thought you were a female.
