I’ve been gaming since the books had staples in their spines. Books like Chainmail.
I owned the Red Box and bought Ral Partha miniatures.
I had to use a crayon to fill in the numbers on my first sets of dice.
I dabbled in any game that came along but my heart was always in Greyhawk and Gamma World. From the early 1980s through the mid ’90s I ran a series of interlocking generational games, often involving crossovers between different campaign settings and game systems. One constant back beat to all of my games was the presence of psionics.
During that same period I saw the release of my two favorite campaign settings: Spelljammer and Planescape. The fusion of the two is my default baseline for all of the Planejammer Campaigns, no matter how many alternate realities they might eventually stumble through.
In the middle 90s I stopped gaming for awhile and started up again 2001 just before the debut of Third Edition. Since 2000 I’ve been involved with the following online projects:
- 2001 I got involved with the Official Spelljammer Website- Beyond The Moons eventually becoming a member of it’s Seekers High Council (i.e. a Mgr).
- 2002 I assumed the position of List Ogre for the Spelljammer Yahoo Group and have been there since.
- 2004 I became a manager for the Official Planescape Website- Planewalker In the seven years I’ve been on the team we have won two Silver ENnie Awards (2005, 2007).
- 2009 after relocating to Cincy I created and continue to Admin the Southwest Ohio Gathering of Gamers (SOGG) Facebook Page
- For the past few years I’ve been an Admin for the following image sharing RPG communities on Flickr: Dungeons and Dragons – Planescape and Planewalkers – The Spelljammer Image Group
- 2011 I became a forum moderator and blog contributor for Obsidian Portal
