The Beginning
The inception of Nobodies Heroes was sometime shortly after the launch of World of Warcraft. Our relatively small band of heroes made an Alliance based guild on the server Gorgonnash. Our time there was more of a casual, family oriented atmosphere. We pushed to the lower tiers of what would have been end game at that time. We managed some successful ventures and truly great times before ultimately moving to the Horde faction on Firetree, where we all joined established guilds as a group for most if not the remainder of our WoW careers.
As time progressed and life interfered as it often does, our group size has grown and diminished. Some of our gaming friends all but scattered to the winds of change, and all it may bring. While we have revived the banner of Nobodies Heroes a few times over the years, it has yet to be established to the glory it once was in World of Warcraft. Although, those of us left to carry on the tradition do enjoy what adventures we managed here and there. It has been some time since we all have visited the lands of Azeroth together.
Our Goal
This is our attempt to establish once again, our long lost gaming community. We strive to make a place for gamers of similar kinship, mind, and heart. Camaraderie means more to us than most. It is the love for gaming that binds most of us together. We are happy to have those that are willing to be a part of our close knit group of friends and family.
We tend to cycle through several games as a small group, although some of that group is a part of another gaming community as well. We are all good friends, and have a great time when we can all agree on a game to play together. Given we are all adults, with lives, jobs, and family, that part doesn’t always work out as much as we would hope for. Such is the life of, adulting.
I am Hobbit
This section is just a bit about myself. My nickname to almost all of my family and friends is: Hobbit. I earned this title many moons ago, when two people in our gaming group simultaneously called me Hobbit during a lan game session. Now, I’m sure the fact that I’m short, didn’t detour from the possibility that it was a befitting title per se. I also have a vast love of D&D, Lord of the Rings, and can do a rather decent impersonation of Gollum at times.
I’ve been in the IT field since 1998, and while I had a few bouts of time where I had pondered moving on to something else, it is still what I do to this very day. I was fortunate to find a company that treats me well, allows work from home scenarios, and is generally relatively low stress. For those in the IT field, I suspect, they would vouch that those combinations are indeed a rare thing.
Gaming in all forms has long been a passion of mine, and it is something I dedicate a very large amount of my time too in some form and fashion. Gaming is my zen, my reset, my meditation. While I started out on consoles at a younger age, my video gameplay is pretty much exclusively pc these days and it has been for some time. The majority of our group is fairly well invested in our Steam collections. While Steam gets a lot of hate, it has certainly helped my pack rat like nature. No more draws full of game boxes. Just a digital purchase, install, and viola. Great fun!
I’m sure many of my friends would attest to my hermit like nature. I don’t require direct social interaction with people outside of my immediate family near as much as most people do. That said, I do love me some social D&D and board gaming on occasion. I live further away from our group than the majority of them though, so it isn’t a frequent occurrence for me. I struggle with motivation to get out of the house for said events, but I can say I never regret it once the drive is over and I’m there rolling the dice, playing the cards, or moving the game pieces. I have been blessed with a fantastic group of friends and family that make up the majority of our gaming group. You know you are in good company if you haven’t seen each other in awhile, and you can just pick up right where you left off, and have great times!
