tobyalloneword-picture1.jpg

“Tobyalloneword”

Year’s Gaming: 21

Year’s Judging: What?!?….. Like judging other people? A long time buddy!

Currently Running: Nothing at the moment…. I’m in Dallas TX working like a slave to pay the man!

Favorite games / systems: D&D, Shadowrun, Call of Cthulhu…both systems. I have ran and played in these game systems and have never gotten enough.

Describe your overall GMing style: Versatility, some may not agree but I feel there is nothing I can’t play and do some justice to. On that note…. I am not big on modesty either.

As a GM, what are you best at: Creating a moment… Anyone who has played in one of my campaigns will have a vivid memory of a certain event that will stick for a long time… I get that whole… “Hey remember when you were running that game and I…..” from 12 years ago heh…

What are your GMing weaknesses: I get bored with the same thing week after week… I am always the guy needing a new player or motivation to spark things up. Oh and I do not use the clue-by four much. Sometimes my players end a session with “my god man give us a hint… what the hell do we do next!” heh…..

Industry and / or convention experience: I have attended Archon for many years, all the way back when it was held at the Henry the 8th on Lindbergh…. god those Vampire parties were a hellava fun. Its a beautiful thing to attend a gaming convention… its even greater when ya get laid at one =p HAHA. As I was saying I have not ran any games at conventions… I was busy doing other things. Err playing games! =)
