I began playing Dungeons & Dragons in 1979, and knew even then that I would be a lifelong GM. TTRPGs have been a part of my life ever since, and have shaped who I am in so many ways—as a writer, reader, storyteller, history buff, and lover of mythology. Wherever I’ve lived and whatever I was doing, I’ve always been part of an active gaming group. I’ve played a number of different systems, including Call of Cthulhu, Traveler, Gamma World, Toon, Paranoia, GURPS, Vampire: The Masquerade, Daggerheart, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. My two great loves in the TTRPG world are the Marvel Superheroes FASERIP game, and of course Dungeons & Dragons. These days, 5e is my primary focus. Even after all these years, I am continuously amazed by the power of TTRPGs. Gaming is a unique creative field of its own, a shared playground of the imagination in which we create stories and excitement together. I would love to be able to share the joy of gaming with more people.
