Thriparip

Hello!
I've been playing FFXI since July 2008. I blame Feylorn for all this, as it was he who made me start playing!

I have only one job at 75; Monk. I also have WHM and RNG at 40, Pld at 39, Pup at 37, THF at 30 and SMN at 10. I usually play as MNK/WHM, mainly because I don't have long to play and I wanted to level a DD job and a Mage job. They work quite well together, despite what others may tell you! After all this time I still get a kick out of raising people and helping in general, although I'm no expert on most things.

As well as my full time job, I also write novels and short stories, and rules for tabletop RPG's, mainly for the Suzerain and Savage Worlds systems. One of the reasons I don't get a lot of time on line!

Oooo what kinda of stories do you wrote Thrip? I used to do some creative writing when I was WAY young lol.

I write Science fiction and Fantasy almost exclusively. I'm not a fan of horror, although I do write the occasional dark fantasy story.

you and Cori should get together and collaborate a story!

As he's a bit crap at blowing his own trumpet, I'll pitch in and plug his work for him

## Gratuitous plug alert! ##

Thrip writes under the name Steve Dean. He has done a ton of stuff for the Suzerain RPG, and has 3 published novels that can be ordered via most bookstores and online from places like Amazon.

Soulkeepers is a high fantasy story suitable for teenagers/young adults and older.

The Servicing and Maintenance of Wayland Snowball is an adult (yes adult!) Sci-Fi comedy.

Mage Reborn is another high fantasy story, but again this one is for an adult audience.

There is probably more stuff I have forgotten about, I'm sure if you bug him enough he'll cave in and tell you about it

## End of gratuitous plug alert! ##

Well, it's not as if I'm this massive world famous author, but thanks Fey!

Actually, using the above clues, you might be able to find a photo of me on line, but you might want to be wearing dark glasses or something.

THRIP! im gunna read one of those, i tried to write a novel once took me 2 years and then i scrapped it completly lol how do i find one of those novels online to order?

For anyone in the UK Play.com and Amazon links follow, I'm sure folks elsewhere can find them easy enough.
