This is the guy you want at the head of the table. Have you ever been wandering Facebook, Pinterest, Tumblr, or Twitter and come across a hilarious tweet about a party of adventurers? There’s like a 40% chance THIS IS THE GUY WHO WROTE IT!! And it it doesn’t have a pun, that jumps to like 75% of the time. This is the guy you want at the head of your table. Do you think that Buffy and Angel were pretty good shows but a little too PG-13 to be playable as TTRPGs? Clinton Boomer is co-creator of a world where not everything that looks human in the modern day really is... and that includes the players. And yes, while he can play WoD with you (and how!), those games are about trying to hold on to your humanity as you become more. Bloodlines and Black Magic? Congrats, you are a single stone trying to hold back a river, so sounds like you may need a few friends if you’re not getting washed away. And THIS is the guy you want at the head of your table. You need your kids entertained a few hours? HE CAN DO THAT TOO (assuming your kids can sit mostly still and roll virtual dice), this guy is a dad, he has been there. You need to rush out of the room because the basement is flooding because a kid left the sink on? This is the guy you want at the head of your table.

Boomer is an Excellent GM. As a GM myself, I often find the most effective tactic is to develop as large as a sandbox as you can and let the players bump into interesting things inside of your world with loose plots to guide them to find interesting tidbits you want them to find. Each time we game, I am amazed at the depth of the sandbox we are playing in. We play Vampire: The Masquerade 20th anniversary edition and have encountered no less than 8 fully thought out locations each with a wealth of NPCs and social structure as to how things work over the course of our game since starting in January. There is always some minor detail to find, and good roleplay is always rewarded with finding those interesting details. OH! also very LGBTQ+ Friendly, and Mental Health Positive. This is a safe space.

Boomer's ability to combine storytelling with mechanics is second to none! This was my first experience with the source rules we used, and he helped us into the game seamlessly! Great GM all around, never missed a beat in the action! Made sure each player got a fair amount of attention in each session!

Clinton J Boomer is a legend. I’ve played in a dozen of his games, and I have too many stories and moments to recount here. His breadth of work is insane: tracing his career in TTRPG writing and design from his days as a finalist in the inaugural ROG superstar competition, helping design Golarion (for the pathfinder setting), penning some VERY odd and wonderful fiction, and endless scores of projects since would take me just as long as discussing all the moments I treasure from playing with him. He is capable of running esoteric/dark/strange modern games in cleverly designed home rulesets...kid friendly games...any style of pathfinder/3D/5th Ed....but I think his games are at their best if you allow him to show you the depth and breadth of his world building and lore. Boomer could casually enthrall players for hours over the smallest details and histories...he is the finest GM I’ve ever played with, and a fine human being to boot.

What can I say about Boomer? Until recently it had been a good decade since I last played a TTRPG, and I didn't get to play much in the decade prior, either. In some respects, I'm starting to feel like I'd never truly played before the current campaign. Boomer's world building is phenomenal. He puts in so much work to include minor details and prepares for different scenarios, but he's not at all shy when it comes to dealing with the unexpected. He knows how to entertain his players' whims while also be able to steer them back on track. His background as a writer shines through in role play driven sessions with just enough dice rolling to keep a greater excitement of the unknown at the table. He absolutely loves to serve both the story and his players, assisting with character builds and obscure rules. But as knowledgeable as he is, he's not at all a rules lawyer. Instead, he's a champion of what makes sense. Above all, he recognizes that the purpose is to have fun, and he does everything in his power to facilitate that for the whole table.
