I've been writing and playing roleplaying games for 40 + years. I also dabble in board and wargames, including a few designs of my own geared toward kids and newcomers to the adventure gaming hobby. I share bits about my gaming activities as well as other interesting bits from my life.

I like dogs, video games, and movies, in that order
Little better bio:
I’m retired from the US military after 20 years service. I love my dogs, video games, and movies. I’m the sort of guy who’ll bring a stray dog home from the side of the road, people that are bigoted or hateful just suck balls, and I like to pretend I’m a photographer sometimes.
Until kbin.social's admin gets off their ass and deletes my account, I will continue to shitpost. If this offends, block me and get on with your life.

Mom always said reading science fiction would rot my mind, ruin my morals, and lead to hanging around with disreputable characters. Thank God, she was right.
Other interests: cooking, gardening, vintage illustrations, too many others. I live in Arizona with my wife, several housemates, and a small mob of cats.
