About me

I have been gaming since my big brother got the Red Box for Chanukah, and he only had his 6 year old sibling to torture. By the time I got the Blue Box for my Bar Mitzvah, I was the primary GM for my friends. But when indie games pulled up to the curb, the collaboration, improvisation and story-telling were exactly what I'd been looking for. Most of my gaming since has been Fated, Savage, Burned on a Wheel, Powered by the Apocalypse, Forged in the Dark, Belonged Outside Belonging, and every thing else in between. Or designed by Grant Howitt. Along the way I've mentored other gamers to become GMs, written a few award-winning plays, run workshops and roundtables about building trust and collaboration in gaming groups, published hybrid hacks of every system I could get my grubby hands on, and worked to build dedicated safe spaces for gamers who have previously been marginalized by the community.
