More About Us: David Darnell (Dungeon Master): Age 42. As of Valentine’s Day I’ve been playing & DMing for 23 years. Current players who’ve been playing for approximately 20 years, for whom I was their first DM, include: Tim Joslin (Summer 1977) RPGA Triad Member, Living World campaign, Mid-Atlantic Region; David Quick (Summer 1979) RPGA Regional Director for the Mid-Atlantic Region; and Larry Carl (Fall 1981). I also founded the RPGA club Black Hand Gaming Society and started the Patriot Games Convention. Larry Carl (aka The PHAT Big Mac Daddy Dude) Age 44. Began strategy gaming in the 60’s with Chess, Poker, and Avalon Hill Bookshelf Games. My first game that included role playing elements was called Melee, which I began playing in 1979 before being introduced to AD&D by David Darnell and Tim Joslin in 1981. Since that time I’ve played a very wide range of games including Boot Hill, GURPS, Amber, Cyberpunk, and Champions. Gaming highlights in my life: 1) The ongoing AD&D home campaign I GM, called Nuelcarn, has run more or less continuously since 1983 and has had over 50 people, in three states, create and run characters in it. Some of my players have been in the campaign for 17 years with many of their original PC’s being in play as of last Sunday! 2) Played in and won the first ever AD&D Open held at the very first Dragon Con in Atlanta Ga. 3) I’ve been a member of RPGA since 1987. 4) I helped develop the concept for and was in charge of testing the Dark Confrontations LARP, originally produced by HandMade Games. 5) I participated in one of the Beta tests for the card game Magic the Gathering. Galen Slinkard Age 24. Occupation: Gamer (Web Designer) Gaming Bio: Started gaming around 3rd grade, been doing so ever since, even when I’m not supposed to be. David Quick Age 36. Human Resources/Training Professional Started playing AD&D in 1980, have been hooked ever since. Have played over two dozen systems/games, and currently GM over a half dozen. Recently had the honor of being named #1 overall Gamemaster at GenCon 32. Likes: Tinkering with rules, playing outlandish personalities, political intrigue, volleyball, working out, family time, reruns of "The Prisoner." Dislikes: Elitist gaming attitudes, anything self-professedly "goth," self-important people, focusing on past accomplishments to the exclusion of future achievement. Andrew Resnick Age 36. Has been gaming for over twenty years. Currently he works in the I.T. department for a logistics management firm in the Richmond, VA area. and enjoys several games. He is currently on the executive committee for Black Hand Gaming Society and enjoys a variety of gaming experiences including Champions, Shadowrun, and of course Dungeons & Dragons. Tim Joslin Age 39. I am acomputer geek who can’t seem to decide what I want to do when I grow up. I am currently working as an Information Security Engineer for a multinational financial institution. I started playing D&D in the fall of 1977 when David Darnell lured me into trying out a new type of game he had recently acquired. I GM’d my first session in 1978 and never looked back. After 15 years of fairly intensive involvement in a variety of AD&D/Traveller style campaigns, my interest in RPGs waned a bit. It all seemed too similar to something I had played or GM’d before. I stopped attending cons, and my involvement in the local campaigns dropped to almost nothing. Then the local RD told me about the upcoming Living Greyhawk and that a 3rd edition rule set was in the works. I’ve now rejoined RPGA, helped start a local RPGA club, and started GMing and playing at local game days and regional conventions. I’ve also taken an active role in organizing the Patriot Games Convention in Virginia and became a Triad member for the Mid-Atlantic region. I’ve also started playing and GMing several other RPG systems, with Virtual Seattle being my second campaign of choice. |
