====== Ember ====== ===== Recruitment ===== I first heard about the NPL in an article [[Willz]] wrote in //Games// in the '80s; I gather from previous posts it may have been 1989. At any rate, I filed it away in a cobwebbed corner of my mind until a couple of years ago, when I began taking note of the convention announcement in the //Games// calendar and pondering whether it was feasible for vacation. When the con came to [[cons:1996:photos|Chicago]], it was too close to pass up...and now I'm hooked. [[Willz]] ---> Ember (Like [[Squonk]] on his first pass, the Enigma leaves me cold...or rather, flat...for which reason, though I've resolved to plan for the con each year, I'm not technically a member. I keep hoping no one will notice.) Source: npl-folk email from Ember. //First Issue//: Not a member until Aug 1997 ===== Recruits ===== None. ===== Nom ===== My nom's a double-meaning. My real-life monogram is EMB, hence EMB'er; it also denotes "not quite a member," since I'm not. ===== Offices ===== * Con Host, [[cons:2003:photos|2003, Indianapolis, IN]]
