    About Me

      About Me: A Colombian-American in my 30's, I began gaming in the early '80s. I am both open-minded and a harsh critic, continually trying to improve my game and help others improve theirs. Luckily, my life away from gaming is filled by my fantastic wife, with whom I help our two kids enjoy and navigate life. I work as an environmental consultant, slowly greening chemical companies. Until I finish, don't use plastic... And, when possible, you will find me with coffee, dark beer, and phat music. My life is a bit more insane since I became an admin for the Ashes of Athas organized play campaign.
      Movies: "I say we nuke them from orbit, it's the only way to be sure"

      "Nobody tosses a dwarf!"

      "Anything bigger than a handful is risking a sprained thumb"

      "Do you think that's air you're breathing now?"

      "Title does not dictate authority."

      "But Master, moving stones is totally different!"

      "You mean tentacles. Big difference."
      TV Shows: I'm a Duke graduate, so Duke Basketball is king. Otherwise, my limited time allows for Jon Stewart, Parenthood, Game of Thrones, and the occasional recorded show.
      Books, Comics and Graphic Novels: Sourcebooks leave so little time, but I always make room for William Gibson.
      Music: Music has moved me all my life - from quiet moments of thought to raging bashes, from painful break-ups with old girlfriends to weddings - music sets the stage for our lives. Some days, music defines our lives. I love organic dub or spy-style electronica, phat beats, and rock with edge.
      Wizard Book Lines:
      Dark Sun
      Hobbies: Family, making a home, saving the planet, finding new music that makes me want to close my eyes and stop everything, finding great restaurants, tasting new beers, gaming.
      Likes: When you really connect with someone. Remembering something that makes life pause, then speed up. Achieving. Changing.
      Dislikes: How wordy I am.
      My Games:
      Dungeons & Dragons
      RoboRally
      Star Wars Roleplaying Games
      Other Games I Play: Spycraft

      Eclipse Phase

      Shadowrun

      Legend of the Five Rings

      Deadlands

    Regarding Gardmore: Thank you! Please do let me know how it goes. I'd love to hear what ACTUALLY happens in play. ;-)

    I created NPC Tents to help the players keep track of who they were talking with--something I stole from Ben's Pile. The images I used were mostly horrible--I put it together fairly last minute.

    Your blog posts are awesome man. This is helping me with my game designing and my DMing. Problem for me right now is that I have a group of power gamers. Keep up the good work.
