Been an avid war gamer and RPG since early 90's. Love BB for the trash talking and 'beer' aspect of RL social competitions.
FUMBBL is the greatest as it let you practice with a huge variety of opponents.

Passion and humour are the main reasons I game. If you cant take a hit/beating/death of a star player without seeing the flip side, go play Solitaire.
That said, PM me for a game. I'm always happy to learn a new trick.
May the dice be with you
