Who are you gals/guys anyway?

[Rythal]

Calvin, b. 1994 (youngest so far ) born and live in Hamilton Ontario. Currently aspiring to become a graphic designer, and going into grade 11

[Gamerprinter]

Ancient graphic designer here, I run my own studio and digital printshop in rural Illinois. I run Gamer Printshop, my shop during off hours printing RPG maps for individuals and publishers. I've also begun the process of publishing my first RPG setting - Kaidan: a Japanese Ghost Story setting, as well as preparing a new Iron Age Celtic setting for publication perhaps next year. I also am involved with another publishing project that should be released soon - the first of a supposedly monthly project as adventure slices and support material for a more typical fantasy setting. I've brought my hobby life tied with my business life and its a good combination so far.

I was born in 1963. I am half Japanese, and otherwise mostly Irish/Scottish, with a bit of Pennsylvania Dutch (German) thrown in there. I am single and have a German Shepherd named Suiko - which is family for me. That's about it.

PS: "GP" is my nickname here, my real name is Michael K. Tumey - its on my publications and some of my maps so no reason to hide...

[LS-Jebus]

I am Chris, a youngun of only 20 winters.

Born and raised in the endless sea of asphalt and buildings that makes the GTA. Gardening and indoor crafts are sort of an escape as well as hobbies I'm into horticulture, and intend on making my main job something related to it. Either landscape maintenance/construction, working in a greenhouse, or in the retail sector with my own small business. Right now I am in college, in a program that will help me out a lot in that regard.

I always need projects to stay busy, so that's where my many hobbies come in.
- Maille, making armour and jewelry (I also intend on selling some jewelry this summer to pay for the hobbies, and then some)
- Costume arms and armour from various materials
- Cartography, to help develop my fantasy worlds
- Music creation; I'm a completely self taught musician who needs a lot of practice
- Writing, which takes a long time for me...
- Miniature modeling. Right now I'm building a castle
- Creating strategy board games
- Some other things I probably forgot about

I'm of English/French/Scottish/Cree/Possibly German descent. Due primarily to the great distances between parks, beaches, big cities, and affordable areas, and the real estate market (which is a crime against humanity over here), and the lower income I will expect to make, I suppose I intend on moving to the UK with my sisters in several years. Ancestry visa, combined income for a few years, better pay for the job, and far lower house prices mean I can have a better life. And more time for hobbies.

[Dolmen Creative]

JP, b. 1974. Male. Married with 4 gremlins (10 boy, 9 girl, 5 girl, and 1 boy). We live in upstate New York (about 2.5 hours northeast of New York City). My "day job" is as a personnel manager, and my "night job" is as the owner and operator of Dolmen Creative (a small publishing company). I've been gaming since 1979, in the RPG industry since 2000, and interested in maps and cartography all my life. My wife and 2 oldest children game (though the kids have their own group with their neighborhood buddies, and they allow me to test new mechanics on them to make sure they are simple enough for everyone). When I make the occasional map, I use GIMP and Dunjinni.

[Nefilim]

Born in 1973, living in the San Fransisco Bay Area, married in 1997 with 5 kid, we're a glutton for punishment, we love them very much. I'm a veteran role-player, story-teller, pursuing a future as a novelist. I would like to learn more about Campaign Cartographer so I can map the entire world of my books. Writing and story-telling is something I've done since I was a child and I'll do until the day I die, so I might as well make a career of it. My hobbies include writing, story-telling, reading, and playing World of Warcraft (I have the highest rated Warlock in the Horde faction on my server). My main focus is and has always been my stories. My wife is my best friend and collaborator. She's very supportive, a fan of my work and helps me sort out loose ends in my story ideas. I'm very blessed.
