Uh, strangely enough, no. We do play a forum version of a PBM game, and we're about to start another one, but neither of them have anything to do with the Land.

Although the new one culd be sorta Gap like I guess.
*shrug* Check out the Gravin Threndor forum.

Hello, everyone. It's been song long since I've had to introduce myself on a forum I've quite forgotten how to do so.
I'm 21 and 10 months old, I think, currently living in South Carolina, though I spent the last four years in Gainesville, Florida. A few months ago, about December, a friend of mine and I were at an After-Party talking about Science Fiction and Fantasy, and he asked me if I'd ever read the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever. I said no. So, next week, at the next after-party, there was a well read little red book sitting on the pool table. I believe it took me about three days to read it, and then I read it again just to make sure that I really did read what I thought I'd read. Within a month I'd finished the rest of the First Chronicles. It wasn't until the start of May, when I'd moved back Home, that I found out there was a Second Chronicles. I was quite, uh, shocked, at learning there was more Hansen-y goodness out there, and managed to aquire copies of the Second Chronicles and Runes of the Earth.
I have to say that The Chronicles, First and Second, are quite possibly the greatest books I have ever read. I prefer them to Tolkien now-a-days, which is something of a breach between me and my father, as, well, he tried to read the books long ago when the first came out but couldn't make it past a certain chapter in the first book.
Since I first read Lord Foul's Bane, I have developed what some might call an unhealthy obsession with Thomas Covenant, down to shopping for White Gold Wedding Bands on eBay, and trying to find a local store that sells large quantities of Ebony for making a New Staff of Law. Of course, I live in mortal terror that if I ever actually do buy a white gold ring I'll get involved with another Joan-like person, contract Hansen's and then get hit by a police car.
So, Hullo.

For the nonce, I refuse to believe in the veracity or the balderdashiness of the above statement... Also, I'm poor. In spirit as in finances.

I bring my own Alcohol. That was I can keep it with me so none of the Vampires can drink it.

Oi. I'm dead on the inside. Until I manage to find that Lucky Nine-Band Armadillo, I'm not yet a real Leper. I just play one in my head.

Welcome to the Watch. As you can see, some of the people here are more than a little bit odd.

Look around. There's much much more to the place than just Covenant.
Have fun.

Well, I lurked on here for a few weeks before I attempted to join, and due to your regisration and posting settings, it was a while before I could post. I've actually thought about forming some sort of group related to Linden Avery, based on the members' shared respect and affection for her.

Indeed. Still working on a name, though.
Lovers Of the Respectable Doctor, Friends Of Unreproachable Linden avery. Something like that, maybe. It's late.

Oh, you seriously want a Linden-lovers group? There is one, although I'm damned if I can remember what it's called. Apply to MatrixMan for details.

Well, you can't have haters without lovers. I think. Or maybe I'm just too groggy to remember my philosophy.
