S'Gord - my old scout leader that I used to game with... (Sorry guys and gals, but he is, and always will be king in my eyes - but I'm partial and all.)
Anything else you'd like to add:
Well, I am known to most of the folx about this game as B.G.R. If you don't know what it means you shouldn't anyways. :P
I'm a big hairy bear - and feel like some kind of sexuality mascot whilst I attend games - for what it's worth. (And I just loooove it when ppl I don't know come up and adress me by my nickname... No really... whee...)
I have been table-topping with White Wolf for ~ 14 years, and LARPING since it came out in a bad boxed set with plastic 'Count Dracula' fangs. I have been involved in both the 'initiatory' games in Saskatoon and Regina - and have lived/gamed in both cities.
I was involved in the reconstruction of the predecessor to the game you now know when Mr. Myrhe stepped down, I have spoken for the players on a few occaisions, and designed the current system of Board and Players' Assembly that this LARP now runs by. (KUDOS to all those who stayed and have made things work long after I'd gotten too frustrated for words!)
Oh - and one more thing... I am afraid of hieghts so I thusly do not like being put on a pedestal - so please - when we speak, and when you judge my actions or words - remember that I am human, just like you...
(I'm gonna smack the next person who runs up to me like I'm some kind of celebrity - there are many old school or just plain excellent roleplayers out there - I am merely one of many.)
<Who knew humility could be so threatening?>
And that - as they say - is that...
Oooooo... Just one more thing... Who are "THEY" anyways? <Looks around nervously>
