Gamer, Painter, Blogger, Podcaster. I first started gaming with Advanced Dungeons & Dragons in the late 80's. Then I found miniatures gaming, Games Workshop's Rogue Trader and Titan Legion to be specific in 89. From there my tasted and interests exploded to where I find myself today having played dozens of Roleplaying games (7th Sea is still my favorite); I have owned over 100 armies, gangs, crews, factions, or fleets for a wide variety of miniatures games; and have played many different CCG and LCGs from a variety of publishers. Now also throw in over 10 years of event organization with groups like the Ironfist League, Privateer Press's Pressgang, and the CMON Wargaming Legion; 5 Years of Blogging on my own blogs Blood & Blades and 24 Hour Gamer Geek, plus recently contributing to WWPD's Outpost Station and the Beer Thralls Blog; and acting as a play tester for both Privateer Press and Wyrd Miniatures. Mash all that up together and I end up with a broad understand of the gaming industry of what it takes to design, create, promote, and play a wide variety of gaming products and supplements.
