Andrew is also known as Lotharfox. He began playing World of Warcraft in late Vanilla after seeing the South Park episode. That was his first introduction into RPGs, and has since experimented with many more. That led to a job writing about MMORPGs with a website that is no longer around, Examiner.com. He also plays table top RPGs, and DMs for D&D Qe every Thursday night. Otherwise, he is playing Nintendo or board games with his wife and two sons.
