Shaking hands after the battle

[JenniferS]

Excellent!

My name is Jennifer Seiden Schoonover, Jen for short.

I'm going to be 32 this summer. I'm a trueborn mutt married to a blue-blood European descendent. I have a daughter that's three years old. Originally from southeast PA, I've lived in various parts of NY, WA, northeastern PA. My husband and I are currently splitting rent with my parents and my brother in western PA. I think I'm going to stick to PA.

I am a former West End Games Editor (1996-1998 ) with Paranoia and Star Wars products beneath my belt. After a five-year hiatus from games during which I worked at variety of writing/editing gigs across the country, I've returned to my roots and am now a self-publishing game designer (Chaos U.) and freelance editor. Lately, I've worked for EN Publishing, Aethereal Forge, Griffin Grove, JAGS, 3P publishing, and Eilfin Publishing. I'd love freelance editing so give me a buzz.

I will be at DexCon8 this year, but not at GenCon until next year.
If I can find a way, Barquest will be included amongst my list of games to publish.

I think that's it...

I'm Mischa Damon Krilov.

I live in New Orleans with my awesome girlfriend, Cat, and a rather stupid and shy feline, Zapruder, in an apartment where we can't have dogs.

Just turned 30 in January; I'm of Russian and American Mutt descent. Born and raised in New Orleans, apart from hiatuses to college, conventions, and family vacations.

I've been a gamer and a computer geek since middle school and grade school, respectively. Though I don't code, I'm a very platform-agnostic user and merrily convert others to Macs and Linux. I currently work for Tulane University doing computer support.

1984 Prime is my first solo RPG effort, though nyarly (Workers' Paradise) and I have collaborated on several unpublished homebrew efforts (both tabletop RPG and board/card games) throughout the years. I wouldn't be surprised if future collaborations include El Clintonian (City of Brass).

Edit: I also play the didgeridoo.

Very cool thread, I like getting into the People Behind the Games.

I'm Andy Kitkowski, and I took the project under my wing as a "sister project" to the 24 Hour RPG thing. I also posted here incognito as Nikolai Volkoff, unfortunately I was unable to finish my Incognito Game JESUS CHRIST: The Roleplaying Game, but I've got enough ideas from it to mine for future endeavors.

Currently, I'm 30 and putting my priorities back in order so that I can follow up and through with projects that have meaning to me (design a game, progress with my Japanese studies), and ignore the ones that are drying me out (Indie RPG Awards, Mediocre PS2 console games). I'm married to the sexiest in the universe, and have three lovely kitties. This year has been New House, , New Kitten. Lots of stress, the good kind, but still stress nonetheless. It was for this stress reason alone that I decided to splurge and come back to GenCon this year to help out at the Forge Booth again instead of waiting until next year.

Anyway, when I'm not at work literally bending my brain to a bloody mess in new directions to learn more about network-based storage devices, I'm enjoying my wife's cooking, gaming, listening to Drum-n-Bass and New Age tunes, playing mediocre PS2 games, reading manga in Japanese, or trying to lose the 30-40 pounds of flabby weight that I put on since I came back to the US and worked in I.T. for four years.

I have a gaming livejournal here:
I have a life blog here: (or directly at )

PS: JasonM, above, runs a sweeeeeeeeet game of DITV. I believe he could sell anyone on that game.

PS Part Zwei: For those not yet in the know, I'm working on translating a Japanese TRPG for release in English next year. It's called Tenra Bansho Zero and it's fucking sweet. It's basically RIFTS JAPAN as conceived by a team of Theatre Fags like me. It will murder you in the face with Awesome.

Hi,

James Brown here, from the relatively frozen north, Edmonton, Alberta. My gaming is more-or-less healthy; I average out to about 1 1/2 games a week.

Game design is something I do in between my full-time job, my wife's part-time job, our three kids and my other hobbies, so it doesn't always get my full attention. Nevertheless I will be at GenCon this year with one game at the minimum; hopefully a second, but that's looking dimmer as GC looms closer.

My day job is a computer industry technician, heavily specialized in print, and my other hobbies involve Lego, the SCA, and kung fu. Not usually all at once, though.

James
