style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Every month here at VTTH, we like to
show you who is helping to make this site the best in class information and
news. Last month you learned about Niborea and her amazing talents as an artist.
This month we introduce you to Lissarros, our resident ranger
expert.
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Lissarros, known in the real world
as Vince Spink, has been involved in gaming for a long time. He still proudly
shows off his dice from the original Dungeons and Dragons box set. Pen and Paper
gaming held a huge attraction for Vince and even served as a distraction when
his service in the US Navy took him out to sea for long periods of time.

VTTH, he is working hard in the construction field. He spends his days working
on roofs in the

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Las
Vegas
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">. His evening are filled with family
time and gaming.
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Right now, he still keeps active in
EverQuest until the release of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. He has also gone back
to single player games such as Baulders Gate and IceWind Dale to pass time. He
even is threatening to form a good old pen and paper gaming group again if
something doesnt grab his interest soon!
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Vince has high hopes for Vanguard:
Saga of Heroes and looks forward to the community aspects of the game. He is
ready for a game to recapture his interest in a way that makes him just want to
come home from work and get lost in its world. Will Vanguard: Saga of Heroes be
this game? From the looks of it, he thinks it will be.
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">He points out the one thing that had
grabbed his interest so far. That was a scene he saw at Fanguard Beta in
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Las
Vegas
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">. The scene was three hardwood trees
that stood on a hill top as one of the demo characters was running along. These
trees were all the same type, but none of them were the same. Not like what you
would see for instance running through

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The ranger in him makes him sigh
wistfully and wonder what is beyond those trees
just over the
hill
