[TheCrimsomBlade]

In Summer 1998 My son and myself bought Two brand new 500Mhz Athlon Compact Desktop computers w/microsoft word and office and we got to chose any three games each.Baldurs gate 1 and Tales of the sword Coast were my first two choices and My son got StarCraft 1 and WarCraft 1 and two other games . we already had dail up internet and so as soon as we got everything loaded in both computers we started looking for any help on the new games and I went straight to the Black Isle,BioWare,and Interplay web sites when I finished down Loading the Patches my son came in and told me to look at the Links and so I clicked on it first thing I noticed was top 10 Baldurs Gate sites and Top 100 Baldurs Gate sites. I clicked on the top 100 which really only had about 25 sites and 75 add your link here spaces as I looked these over I saw Ironworks and thought what does Ironworks have to do with a D&D game but I clicked on it and the world of Computer RPG opened up for me. After about two days of playing Baldurs gate I got stuck and needed help I tried everywhere on the net and then remembered I'd put a RPG site in my favorites so I looked and up came the Ironworks. I tried to post but it said you must join the forum in order to post. Well I had never joined any forum and this was new to me but after reading everything that had been asked about Baidurs Gate and not finding the answer I needed I took the big step and joined using the name The Masemaster, it was a name I used years before when I played D&D with pen & paper.
I watched The Ironworks grow and then I left the states for 7 months in late 2000 and spent some time in Tibet and when I returned the Ironworks said I didn't exist So I took the new name The Crimson Blade and what was really funny is I spelled it wrong so now I'm TheCrimsomBlade to many M's. But Thanks to the Ironworks I now spend more than $400.00 a year on RPG's and almost never have any time to do anything else other than work.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!
