Gamestorm

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.
