Real Life

"I’m a gamer and have been since I was eleven and I first saw D&D. I’ve played tons of Role Playing games and then moved to table Top War games. While I was at Cryptic, I ran company game leagues for Warhammer 40K and Warmachine. Right now my table top passion is AT-43. I started playing MMOs with Ultima Online and have played Everquest, Anarchy Online, Star Wars Galaxies, Dark Age of Camelot and one to two others I can’t remember at the moment. Oh, I played this one game that I really liked, as I was a huge fan of Comics and I doubt I’d be the gamer I am today with out there influence as a child. It was City of Heroes. I fell in love with the game and played like mad. Image how I felt when Cryptic hired me to help make the game more fun."
