Hi everybody, I got an e-mail stating that I had been "registered" but when I try to do a forum reply it tells me that my membership is "Pending Approval" and I can't get any further. I have some updates about the "Shakhan" game system that was referenced in some forum posts on this board (as I am the author of "Shakhan") so I'm wondering if there is an ETA for being able to update the board about this game system.
Thanks in advance
Marcus Shields Author, "Shakhan"

Hello Marcus! The first post in this thread has the site process for how to be able to complete registration. Posting here is a good first step to proving that you are, well, you. I see your globalserve.net site is no longer in existence. I think I found you on LinkedIn, so maybe confirming there? (I’d be one is the last folks to look at your profile, and you’ll know it’s me since you can see my user name here. ) Any other way to confirm you are the author of Shakhan? We definitely would like to hear more!

Hi there... well it seems like we have a chicken and the egg issue here about me "proving" to be Marcus Shields. I do have a profile on LinkedIn, is that how I have to prove my identity? (Who would I "connect" with on that social media platform? Is that "R Redmond"?) I don't have identities on Facebook or Twitter, incidentally, partly because in "real life" I am a cyber-security consultant and have severe misgivings about FB and "X" for reasons of privacy and security. As to "am I the author of Shakhan" well I suppose you could ask me anything about the game system, its original design goals and so on (although admittedly some of this is described in the first few pages of Book "A" of the 2000 game set). You are correct that the Globalserve site no longer exists... this went out (as I recall) in the early "aughts". The (semi) new site is : www.telostic.com/shieldsfamily/shakhan/shakhan_homepage.htm (I think you can use the TLS or "https://" version of the site as well.) N.B. "Telostic" is of course the name of the planet where Shakhan is set... I have a lot of updates to provide, in particular about a modern fantasy / science-fiction / superhero novel series that is partly based on one of the NPCs of the Shakhan universe, so let me know how and where I can send you the information! Cheers and best wishes Marcus Shields Author, Shakhan game system (and a lot more)

Hello odd74 I've just requested to join as Nestor. Some of you may already know me from: ... basically nowhere. I don't socialize on the internet. I don't know what it is. I learned all my socialization skills in person, long ago, during the punk rock era. So when the blogs, facebooks and everything else became the defacto way people talk to each other, I kind of got left behind. I don't know what it is. I can't read signals, see facial expressions, and people can't see my facial expressions, read the piercing irony in my eyes. The internet has basically been been lost on me as a means of socializing. Which is fine. I have friends. Whatever. This is all terrifically ironic as I have been working as a computer programmer, and involved in tech since the 1990s. I'm just analog when it comes to relationships and people I guess. That said, I love D&D. Got back into thinking about it about 2012. I wish it was earlier. I kind of missed the beginning of the OSR and that bums me out a little. But god knows the OSR is still going strong, stronger than ever. One day I saw a mention of the Ghost Tower of Inverness. A light bulb kind of turned on as I remembered it. I checked ebay and saw that I could actually buy it, and then immediately went crazy buying all the stuff I could never afford when I was a kid. I love it. I wish I could have afforded it back in the early 80s, but back then I couldn't find anyone to play with anyway. I would constantly force the kids in my neighborhood to go through Keep on the Borderlands with me, but I couldn't keep them focused. Poor reading skills I think. or too hyperactive or something. I'm not sure who my pals on odd74 are as I haven't been on here yet. There is one guy I know, but I forgot his user name. Not sure he would remember me anyway.
Thanks for reading.

Hello odd74 I've just requested to join as brentinak (thats Brent in Alaska).
Some of you may already know me from: Well, I used to have an account hear many years ago. Before that, I mostly lured and read posts by Finvarin, Mythmere, Derv, and I forget Jason Cones username, but I still remember his fighter guy user icon, oh and some of the old time players like Mike M, Dave A, etc - facinating.
I am an old time player myself, but mostly I tried to avoid playing the weir fantasy game my friend Daveid alsways fonted to go play. Mostly, I played board wargames back in the day. I had a few Tactics II variants that were popular. I really wanted to play in the tabletop civil war game (or was it Neponionics - all I remember is it had cannons), but I couldn't aford the cost of the army. I ended up getting a set on Phonetians because they were about 1/4 the price of the next least expensive set. Turns out thats because they don't have much fire-power and loose a lot. Lots of fun for everyone who loved to trample over me in the ancients game. I didn't mind much. When I moved away, I was gifed a set of the freshly minted fantasy rules my friend David always wanted to play. Turns out those three little brown books really caught on and soon all my new friends out west wanted to play.
I have a signed copy of Don Featherstones book Wargames that no one is ever interested in. But my first edition D&D that my little brother collored all the pictures in - that people are interested in.
Some of my pals on odd74 are: I don't really have any friends here. My time as a member was short, then real life pulled me away. A few years ago I got back into gaming, and discovered the whole OSR thing. It took me a couple of years before I started realizing people like Matt Finch was someone I used to know as Mythmere. I said high to him a year or so ago when I started republishing his stuff. He said it was nice to hear from the old guear, but I know he actually had no idea who I was. Fine with me though, I mostly just like promoting the olders styles of play to the younger crowd who find it interesting, but are confused on so many topics.
Mods, please see my membership request. I would love to rejoin, but understand if my credentials seem improbable and you have to pass.

I should probably also mention that I support just about every Kickstarter by anyone who I used to follow from this forum back in the day, and more than a couple of Patrons. The first modern RPG book I bought was the Book of Elder Magic, I have a few copies of Delving Deeper, S&W, all of the Secrets of Blackmoor stuff, Rob Conley, etc. I guess I am saying, I try to support the community.
