I've been involved in one aspect or another of the adventure games hobby for the past twenty-five years. Started playing in 1987. (First game? Champions, followed by CyberSpace, the Iron Crown cyberpunk game for Space Master, their sci-fi Rolemaster spin-off.) Was hired by InQuest Magazine in 1996, where I started my editorial career. Since then, I've done work for Green Ronin, Malhavoc Press, Dream Pod 9, and White Wolf. I managed two different game stores in the metro Boston area in the 2000s, and am now working primarily freelance. Still gaming after all these years.

I have a weakness for good coffee and bad puns.

M-and-M, to the extent it exists, is Mutants and Masterminds. Don't see the value in a second tag for this system.

revised How do you keep the book keeping/game management work balanced between players?
The "rolemaster" tag is inappropriate here; swapped out terms for moderators with the more-used abbreviation tags.

revised Winged special ability in RM&M
The "maze" tag is inappropriate, as there's no labyrinthine content. M&M is the name of the game.

comment Depictions of 19th c Vienna for a chronicle
Questions like these have attracted some controversy lately. Can you give us an idea what parts of VtR you're hoping to emphasize in the setting, or another more concrete link to the game?

comment Which systems use the Cthulhu Mythos?
My thought was that this was an example of system: that is, the D&D mechanics used to stat up Lovecraftian horrors, as opposed to "Cthulhu shows up in Ghostbusters, so he's suitable for the RPG version." Is there a border you're drawing?
