I've been playing RPGs since about 1990 or so. I started with the Marvel Super Heroes RPG from TSR. I moved on from that to Champions, Paranoia, Call of Cthulhu, and others. I didn't get into D&D until 3rd Edition came out. I usually run games for my friends so I don't get a lot of chances to play except at conventions. I've lived in the Kansas City area most of my life. I have a wife and two kids and work on (surprise, surprise) IT. I used to host a gaming podcast for about 10 years called the Gamer's Haven Podcast and Confessions of a Movie Snob. I love escapism and rolling dice to relax.
