  Biography

  Rodney has been involved in gaming since birth (1965), and RPGs since1978. He’s written his own RPGs (http://www.claymore.50megs.com) and Game Masters several RPGs, including a long term weekly original AD&D game, and a monthly live/weekly online GURPS Space game. He can run everything from Fudge and Savage Worlds on the “creamy” side, to Hero System and HackMaster on the “crunchy” side, and everything in between. He’s been the President of the Christian Gamers Guild since 2000, and was Chaplain before that. He has three cats and has been married to Luana for 14 years. Rodney has a Masters of Divinity from Western Seminary, a Graduate Certificate in Bible from Multnomah University, a BA in Broadcasting Management from EWU, along with an AAS in CS and AA from Columbia Basin College. He’s licensed by Southern Baptists, but has been working rotating shifts as a Carton Assembly Crew Leader at Owens-Illinois glass bottle plant in Portland since 2004. Outside of being involved in teaching theology at his local church, Lents-Gilbert Church of God, and gaming, he is also involved in the motorcycling community through Trinity Road Riders (http://www.pdxstarlighttour.com/), a CMA/AMA chapter in Portland. Rodney is a “retro-rider” and rides a rare 1983 Suzuki GR 650 x Tempter (they only made them for the states for one year). He also enjoys shooting guns, listening to conservative talk radio, watching FOX News, and several TV shows. He’s more of a media guy than a reader, and his games reflect that, though he does enjoy the long story as much as the episodic one. And he’s reading more now that he’s got the Kindle app for his phone.

  Biography

  Computer Game Test Manager and Designer since 1990.
  I’ve been designing board games for 35 years and been involved in computer game development for over 20 years.

  My favorite game genre is tactical games of all types and I’ve recently designed my own tactical board game that I hope to get published sometime in the near future.

  I’ve been a Dungeon Master and Player of D&D and enjoyed a number of other RPGs over the years. Massive Multiplayer On-Line Games have been a lot of fun but they do take a lot of time. I’ve played Magic the Gathering and Mech Clicks and enjoyed both greatly, but I’ve never been much of a fan of the collectable aspect.

  I’m very open to trying different games but I’ve got pretty high standards since I’ve played some of the best games ever created and been involved in the development of games based on a numbr of well known intellectual properties including: Star Trek, Star Wars, Alliens, Mech Warrior, and most recently Halo.

  Biography

  I’m a collector, by nature (of so many things), that is why I favor those types games and systems, but I try to expand my horizons (on occasion). You’ve probably seen me at local Comic Book shows, GameStorm, PAX Prime and the occasional GenCon, looking for the ultimate ‘cool’ thing to collect. I never know exactly what to do with it when i get it, but I just ‘gotta have it’! This (most likely) is the reason why I was drawn to the collectible game of Dragon Dice (produced by SFR Inc.). It is my favorite! For more information visit their website. www.sfr-inc.com

  I’ve been hosting Dragon Dice events and tournaments at GameStorm for the past 3 years and I love every minute of it. I’m also one of the many local volunteer reps for this fun and exciting game.

  Look for me, you can’t miss me (I’m the one with ‘a ton of dice’). Stop by, play a demo, then sign up for one of the fun events we have planned. I look forward to playing a game of Dragon Dice with you soon!

  Biography

  Car’s favorite thing about being an MIB is getting to constantly play the games with new people, especially kids. Her favorite SJ Game is, of course, Munchkin, but she also specializes in the smaller, lesser-known games that get played only rarely. Car can be found helping out other MiBs at their demos, and has a life-long goal of being a convention groupie. If there’s a MiB presence at a local convention, odds are she’ll be there.

  Biography

  Marcus Evenstar [aka MIB 2404/ GL 2814.5], has been attending conventions for several decades as participant, volunteer, and GOH. Despite the uncomfortable chairs, explaining rules to the willfully ignorant and occasional costume failure, he has no intention of ceasing this behavior as it has lead to extraordinary & wonderful situations. As a house-husband, he is able to pursue various interests; comics (American, European & Japanese), gaming (table-top & computer), literature (fiction, historical and scientific). Due to a mild form of ADD, he can find ways to tie all these subjects together. His Residential Library is fully financed by his wife, Valerie Reese [aka Doktor Phaedra], and secured from intrusion by the True Domestic Masters Ayeth & Het, reincarnated micro-panthers.

  Red Star Games, Infinite Imaginations Inc
  • Registration verified: true

  Biography

  Elisa started playing Mage: The Ascension back in 1997 and never quite grew out of rolling dice and writing about shoggoths as her parents had hoped. Her favorite scenarios have hailed from the Deadlands, Legend of the Five Rings and Call of Cthulhu settings.

  She has been running Call of Cthulhu at Gen Con since 2001 with the GM collective Infinite Imaginations Inc. She is also the author of The Cove, Housewarming and Funeral at Kyuden Asaka LARP scenarios and half a dozen other half-baked, unfinished adventures.

  Elisa is a firm believer in roleplay instead of rollplay. Her scenarios can be best described as being mechanics light and interaction heavy. She also believes there are few things in this world that can’t be fixed with the liberal application of duct tape, stage blood or fire.

  When not working at the job that actually pays, she enjoys knitting, hiking and cooking with bacon.

  Biography

  Christian grew up in Germany where, at the age of 13, he discovered “Das Schwarze Auge”. He hasn’t stopped roleplaying since.

  From 1995 on, he was deeply involved in online “freeform” games in CompuServe’s RPG forum. This strongly influenced his ideas on roleplaying and game design.

  In 2000, he moved to Portland, Oregon, to attend graduate school at Portland State University. He was married to Lisa Griffen, whom he had met in the CompuServe roleplaying forum, and later became a dual citizen. They still reside in the Portland area.

  After discovering the Forge, an RPG design and self-publishing forum, he founded Berengad Games together with his wife. They published their first indie roleplaying game, Beast Hunters, in 2007. Beast Hunters was a runner-up for the 2007 Indie RPGs Game of the Year and Most Innovative Game awards.

  Berengad Games’ second game, Anima Prime, was released under a Creative Commons license in 2011.

  Biography

  I’m originally from Michigan, attended the Unversity of Michigan (GO BLUE!) as a Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) midshipman. I spent eight years in the US Navy as a submarine officer, and am currently working as a security analyst for a large federal laboratory.

  I have always been a big boardgame fan, but wasn’t fully aware of the extent of my affliction until I discovered BGG several years ago. I am a member of the Columbia Basin Boardgame Society. We meet several times a month, and you can read our session reports on our Guild page.

  I am willing to play almost any type of game- I find the game group is usually more important for a postive game experience than the game itself. Lately, I’ve been dabbling in wargames, but haven’t fully convinced the rest of my game group to try them.

  I have a large collection of games because of a dominant packrat gene that prevents me from selling, trading, disposing or otherwise parting with just about anything, including games. Someday space might become an issue, and that may change, but I will wait to cross that bridge when I get there.

  Biography

  Willem Larsen is an avid fan of indie and story gaming, known for developing the Fluency Play approach and the Language Hunting game system.

  He has spent the past 15 years designing cutting-edge group learning tools for the natural sciences — at the Oregon Zoo, OMSI, Tryon Creek State Park, and the Eddy Foundation Land Trust. He was a founding partner of Cascadia Wild! and a founding member of TrackersNW.

  Through his work in environmental education and local natural history, Willem came to realize that endangered indigenous languages are priceless storehouses of ecological knowledge, wisdom, and lifeways, and this led to the development of Language Hunting, a game format for accelerated language learning.

  Biography

  I started gaming as soon as dad could manage. I’ve grown up on board and computer games, and in the more recently years pen and paper RPGs.

  SciFi is my favorite genre, but I’m not too picky.

  When I run RPGs I tend to stick to Lovecraftian games, but I have run Traveller and Spirit of the Century to some degree.

  I enjoy learning new games.

  CoOp games are also a favorite.

  Biography

  I was first introduced to Wargaming by my Grandfather at Yule of 1958. It was fairly simple using Britains, & a little later Elastolin miniatures & a simple variant of “Little Wars” & “Kriegspiel”. I got Morchauser’s & Featherstones books when they first came out & made the pilgrimage to Scruby’s in the mid 60’s. I’ve continued gaming ever since & have a fairly broad area of interest, though for personal reasons I don’t play ‘Nam settings. I was a minor contributor & a playtester for the original Runequest (Steve Perrin & Greg Stafford still rightfully blame me for the Resistance Table) for Chaosium back in the 70’s among other RPG’s. Over the past few years I’ve been doing game maps for Baccus6mm & GHQ publications as well as for magazines. Presently I’m working on writing Polemos Mythic Armies for Baccus6mm, & co-writing Microforce Napoleonics with Daryl Nichols for GHQ.

  Biography

  2012 marks Angel’s 4th year of running the CCG programming at Game Storm.

  Angel played her first game of D&D at the age of 6 in 1982. Her favorite Christmas present ever was the red ’Beginner’s’ box set of classic Dungeons & Dragons.
  She beat Contra by cheating. UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, B, A, START.

  She picked summer strawberries to buy the Legend of Zelda.

  For some reason, finishing a game of Arkham Horror still eludes her, though she has tried 5+ times to do so.

  On strike from Safeway in 1994 and fresh out of David Douglas highschool, Angel found Magic the Gathering, at a local comic shop. Magic started her on a quest to find all things gaming. Her adventure continues.

  When not gaming, Angel loves bicycling Portland, LEGOS, movies, music, books, and throwing a good party.

  Biography

  Gary McBride attended his first gaming con in 1984 as a wide-eyed lad of twelve. The experience … affected him and since he has walked the way of the geek. In 1999, he received his first professional writing credit and has since gone on to work on Warhammer Fantasy, Earthdawn and other more obscure RPG entities. Now, he is the owner, lead designer, accountant and janitor for Fire Mountain Games. When not shackled to a computer, Gary listens to too-loud music, sips single malt scotch and travels as much as he can. And even though now husband to an astonishingly patient gamer-doctor and father to a five year old self-rescuing princess, he remains that wide-eyed lad boldly assaulting a monster haunted keep on some distant, dreamscape borderland.

  Biography

  John McNichol was born in Toronto, Canada at the dawn of the swinging 70s…which likely explains why he is such a fan of the Big 80s. He lived the first eighteen years of his life in Toronto, leaving to attend college at Franciscan University in Ohio. There he met his American wife, and has remained a resident of the United States since his graduation and wedding in 1992.

  John now lives in Vancouver, Washington, where he and his wife Jeanna live with their seven children and The Dumbest Dog In The State Of Washington. John is a Middle School teacher by trade, and continues to pursue excellence in his vocation while writing steampunk-themed science fiction about his favorite authors and literary characters.

  John’s first book, “The Tripods Attack,” was published by Sophia Press in March 2008. Part of a trilogy titled “The Young Chesterton Chronicles,” the second volume, “The Emperor of North America,” is now available from Bezalel Books. He is currently at work on the final volume, “Where the Red Sands Fly.”

  John loves loaded pizzas, meaty lasagnas, killing 3-5 hours at a stretch at his local Barnes & Noble on the weekend and seeing fan art based on his works. He hates broccoli. Hates it. Still.

  Biography

  My name is John, though I prefer when friends and even strangers call me by my SCA name – Joven. I’m a gamer who puts fun over competition, I live in Bremerton and operate out of Discordia Games, though I am also a former employee of The Game Matrix in Tacoma. I’m as much into Eurogaming as I am good old-fashioned Ameritrash; basically, I’ll play anything that can provide a positive, well-balanced social experience. I’ve mostly grown out of CCGs, though I still play a few dead ones when I’m lucky enough to find opponents (Vampire, Star Trek, Star Wars, etc.).

  As a person, I’m very easy-going. Anyone not knowing me would be just as welcome to pretend I’m an old friend who can be joked with – I’m by no means a serious individual, though this writing might convey otherwise. I am confident and not sensitive about what I am – an eccentric, overweight Irish-blooded Leo with the ego of a comedian and way too many hobbies. If we’re in the same room, and you’re down for a laugh, I’m always open game.

  I’ve been GMing at conventions since I was a teenager, back in 1996, and have been in some form of education all my life, so I find teaching games a breeze. In general, I guarantee that if I’ve volunteered to run a game at any convention, it’s a game I can teach you easily, and can gladly assist with making it a positive experience for anyone in attendance.

  Raised on: Monopoly, chess, rummy royal, pinochle, gin rummy, and Yahtzee.
  1980’s: Axis & Allies, Civilization.
  1990’s: Bridge, Magic: the Gathering, and a few games of my own.
  2003: Introduced to Eurogames and a regular gaming group.

  San Juan is seriously underused as a gateway game.

  I play and enjoy Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition. I’m said to have memorized the rules, but think they’re much too complicated. My characters are a half-orc monk/rogue hybrid (started at 4th level, now 7th) and a minotaur avenger (started at 1st level, now 4th). I’m an optimizer.

  I bike to work every day and sometimes bike to GameStorm.

  I support multiparty politics, proportional representation, and the use of Ranked Choice Voting (aka Instant Runoff Voting) to ensure majority election winners and deal with the “split vote” phenomenon. The Oregon constitution was amended in 1908 to allow ranked voting, let’s use it already!

  Biography

  Chris Weedin was born in 1970 and grew up in a normal home with a healthy dislike for all things scary. Shortly after graduating from the University of Washington with a BA in History, he underwent a strange, lifechanging supernatural event (he got married) and everything changed – now he loves the stuff! He has worked as a furniture deliveryman, professional tutor, youth minister, teacher and computer system administrator. He is the creator and developer of the horror-comedy roleplaying game Horror Rules and has written or co-written more than seven books for the series. In addition to writing about scary things, he also enjoys various activities that revolve around the theme of “scary”: public speaking (just plain scary), running (getting away from scary), playing board/card/roleplaying games (pretend scary) and faith training (facing scary without having accidents). He lives in Selah, WA with his lovely wife and two lovely and obedient children, all three of whom are almost never scary.

  Chris is also the winner of a Golden Pawn award (2011), and is currently hard at work on the horror-comedy fiction series “Graveyard Shift: the Adventures of Carson Dudley” (movie forthcoming).

  Biography

  I am a gamer. I love learning new systems and stories and always have a pile of stories to tell. I am an aspiring teacher, an amateur seamstress/ costumer and soon to be a corsetier. I am also a writer and an unabashed literature nerd.

  I started tabletop gaming when I was 18. I was attending a ridiculously
  conservative college and I discovered the geeks hiding from the mundanes in the same corner I was. Since then I have been hooked. I joined stranger’s games, met shady GM’s on dating sites and even jumped headfirst into White Wolf LARP
  .
  My favorite gaming system is FATE. There will always be a place in my heart for the D&D 3.5 that was my introduction to the gaming world but I find arguments and confusion over rules to be irritating and I love the story heavy rules light style of gaming. When I do play or run more mechanics heavy games I always tend to lean toward story over rules. To me, the point of gaming is to have fun and anything that takes away from that is missing the point.

  Biography

  I’m a gamer and collector, living in Vancouver WA. I love all types of games, and frequently play several CCGs, Dragon Dice, board games, and a handful of role-playing games.

  I occasionally run some off-beat indie RPGs, like Dread and Lacuna. Feel free to stop by and say “Hi!”

  Biography

  Have played, including facilitated, RPGs since circa 1979. These days particularly interested in more of the indie-style (or indie-trad fusion) games, including but not limited to such asApocalypse World and Don’t Rest Your Head. A Portlander although I’ve generally played more at Seattle’s Go Play convention and Kublacon (and in years past Dundracon) in the Bay Area, frankly, than conventions around here. Looking forward to Gamestorm!
