Stratford, Ontario

Who are you - 
I am a gamer who has been playing the likes of Dungeons and Dragons for nearly 25 years now. I was first introduced to miniatures wargaming back in 2000 with specialist games like Mordheim and Blood Bowl. Since then, I have also played Warhammer Fantasy, Warhammer 40k, as well as a variety of other games, that most recently include Infinity and Frostgrave.

I really enjoy a system that has a wonderful IP and a great community of players who can provide feedback and advice on conversions, how to get started tips and other tidbits to help gamers get into a new game, but without breaking the bank.

I am a great fan of the Horus Heresy novels that have been produced, as well as other fantasy and science fiction works by authors like Ed Greenwood, RA Salvatore, George RR Martin, Gav Thorpe, James Swallow, to name just a few.

I love to talk meta. I enjoy seeing what drew players to play certain factions within a game or even what drew them to play the game at all. Gaming has become a wonderful past time for me and I love to talk about it and share it with all different people.

What are you playing on the table - 
Infinity (Combined Armies), Frostgrave, Warhammer Fantasy (Dark Elves), Warhammer 40k (Raven Guard Space Marines), Warhammer 30k (Blood Angels), Lord of the Rings (Kingdoms of Men)

Play style - 
Prefer to be a casual gamer who loves campaign settings, can be a power gamer if a player wants to play test tournament lists for upcoming events

Top irk at the table - 
People who lose sight of the fact that no matter what we are playing, it is just a game and take it too seriously

Current gamer projects - 
Converting a Dark Elf Blood Bowl team. Painting my Raven Guard to have a fully finished 40k army. GM'ing in a Dungeons and Dragons community campaign with my own story arc and converting miniatures for Frostgrave

Last word - 
Not my words, but someones who's work has brought me to the table and inspired me to enjoy the game.

“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!” - JRR Tolkien
