I've played Rogue since the first time I accidentally discovered it in a directory for another game, sometime around 1988 or so. I saw an executable file that I didn't know about, ran it, and have since spent (cumulatively) several weeks of my life trying to defeat Trolls and Ur-Viles. I didn't discover other roguelikes until much later, and didn't play any of them until just a few years ago. I played Angband for a while, and then discovered ToME on http://angband.oook.cz/ - I figured since it's got the most character dumps, it must be interesting; so I gave it a whirl. Since then, I've authored two modules (Modules/Theme and Modules/Hobbit) and can't wait for ToME3.
I'm a writer who lives in Toronto, Canada, though I also call Budapest, Hungary home. I speak Russian, Hungarian, and English on a native level and can also understand (but not speak/write) German. I hold a B.Sc. in psychology and sometimes entertain plans to go get a Master's degree. My main obsession besides ToME and LoTR is the Harry Potter series. I'm also a catmv/editall editor at the Open Directory Project, in which I'm rather involved as well.
I have a personal Web site at http://www.zionmainframe.ca/. I also have a LiveJournal where I post fandom-related rants and fiction.

Best character: The aforementioned winning character.
Favourite finds: The Mage Staff of Eternity (T-Plus)
Game habits:
- Slow diving, due to:
- never scumming the wilderness
- a mild passion for RPG - I imagine my characters actually going through these places, and being interested in their surroundings.
a tendency to want to clear the whole level (*waves at MayLith*)
- DitL'ing (fan fiction style, hee!)
- Playing with small levels always on
- Slow diving, due to:
Stupidest death: Failing to detect traps in the Orc Cave while playing with ironman rooms, and Calling Out an awake Azriel from a securely sealed Minor Boss vault I wasn't intending to touch.
Stupidest bad game habit: Inattentiveness! I get impatient sometime after diving Mirkwood, and it never fails to cause all sorts of near-death (or death) experiences. In chasing for immunities and high resists, I tend to forget about essential things like Free Action. Blarg.
