About me
My gaming journey started with D&D and TSR games in the early '80s, but I got away from the hobby after high school. After a Stage IV cancer fight 15 years ago, I returned to the RPG hobby with a vengeance. Life is good! I'm a Cambridge-educated American, happy husband, and proud father of an amusing and impressive teenage girl. Outside of gaming, I ran a successful non-profit theater company for 10 years and dabbled in amateur formula racing. What I love most about gaming is getting into a cycle of creative enthusiasm where players and I are feeding each other to create memorable experiences. While I secretly cheer for the players, I make sure to referee objectively so that the team can enjoy the wins it earns. Teaching new players or teaching experienced players new systems is something I've done a lot of since I came back to the hobby. It was easier for me to teach friends how to play games than find gamers. These days Shadowdark, OSR games, and Call of Cthulhu are the games that groove me most. With that said, I love, play, and run A LOT of games. Games have always been more about the people at the table than specific rule sets or mechanics to me. I can have a blast playing Parcheesi with people. Well, that's me. So, you up for it? Want to roll some dice and make some shit up together?
