The founders of a new adventure club, the D4DR Club, aren't ready to organize any adventures yet -- they're going to look into the legalities involved first -- but they're looking for people who get high on risk-taking anyway.

The name of the club founded by two Pittsburghers says it all. It is the name of a gene at the end of chromosome 11, and, according to WWW.MDDictionary.com, "a particular form of the gene may have an effect on an individual's personality since it seems to occur in individuals with novelty-seeking behavior."

The kind of novelty D4DR members seek might range from extreme sports like bungee jumping to visiting war-torn nations to charting their own path through a jungle.

"It's for people that think differently than the average person. There's something pushing them to bring them more adrenaline," said co-founder Josh Wander of White Oak, a freelance journalist who lists assignments in Iraq, Lebanon, and Northern Ireland in his online biography.

The club was founded in October by Wander; University of Pittsburgh law student Brandon Gardner of Regent Square; David Grant of Salem, N.H.; and Nicole Kennedy of Los Angeles.

So far, they have attracted about 70 members.

There have been no group meetings or outings since the members are scattered globally. They talk over the Internet and are arranging discounts on adventure-related products like travel insurance. "We're probably going to [look into] the legalities of providing different things to members that might be dangerous," Wander said.
