(Belated) Hello World!

[Shacharma]

Somehow I totally missed until now the existence of this specific forum and that we're supposed to introduce ourselves

I've been lurking around the rest of the 17th shard forums for the past year or so. I think I'm pretty up to date on anything Brandon has written and on the podcasts (though not on the audio books).

IRL I'm an academic researcher of virtual worlds, and thus sci-fi and fantasy naturally blend into my work. On the flip side, I'm also the kind of person who will give talks at fan-cons about stuff like the evolutionary trees of magical creatures, ecology of fantasy worlds etc.

Some of you might know me from other forums as the Professor-Rabbi-Captain

Hi and welcome! That sounds really interesting. I look forward to seeing you around!
