On Halloween 2022, we open this new section with an interview that we hope you like a lot. We are going to be talking to a friend, nothing more and nothing less than: Hawklorddragon @cimerians.
As far as we know, a fan of sword and sorcery art, role-playing games, Iron Maiden, probably among many other things...So, as we said, with great emotion and very happy we start by presenting: @cimerians
Games of Turtle: How are you Hawklorddragon @cimerians? What´s up? From Argentina, Games of Turtle greets you. Do you prefer that we refer to you as Hawklorddragon or under the name of the twitter account @cimerians?
Hawklorddragon: Doing ok, thank you! Working, gaming and trying to keep up with posting some nice art. Hawklorddragon is fine, it's a nickname that we all have in a long running video game croup called the “Ultima Dragons”
Games of Turtle: Ok, Hawklorddragon thank you very much for your time, your good will and disposition! Now, we know the origin of your nickname! That was a very good game!!!. So, now we are diving into this world of sword, sorcery and dragons! Tell us a little about how you started this path, this adventure? Do you remember the first time you approached this world of rpg / tabletop games? How was it?
Hawklorddragon: I alone discovered it in a local toy store at around 10 years old, 1980. I used to visit a section in that store that had fantasy books and a game called “Dungeons & Dragons” but I thought it was for older kids and so I asked my mom to get me this board game called “Dungeon” by TSR. Among all the board games at the time this one stood out, it also looked like that Dungeons & Dragons game. Inside the board game was a TSR catalog and there it was again: the “Dungeons & Dragons” game. I ended up liking the board game so much that I asked them to buy me the Dungeons and Dragons game and the rest is history. I was young but it was life changing in terms of opening up my imagination, creativity… and vocabulary! Four years later I discovered a game called Ultima…and game books called Fighting Fantasy. It was an amazing period of discovery.
