About the Dungeon Master

Mark. Dungeon Master, Gamesmaster, Judge. Half a century of life experience. 38 years of those a gamer.

I cut my teeth on Basic and Expert Dungeons and Dragons (now known as B/X, Moldvay or Classic Dungeons and Dragons) in the early 1980s before moving on to the BECMI ruleset and the Rules Cyclopedia in the early 1990s. I also dabbled in 2nd Edition AD&D and Tunnels and Trolls.

I took a 23 year hiatus from gaming between 1993 and 2016. Upon returning to gaming I returned to my first love of Dungeons and Dragons (playing 5th Edition) although I have since dabbled in other systems such as Dungeon Crawl Classics, Deadlands and 13th Age.

I currently run a Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition campaign online using Fantasy Grounds and play in a Deadlands campaign. I also play Dungeon Crawl Classics as often as I possibly can.

I can also be found lurking on gaming related Facebook Groups and Reddit communities, contributing, arguing or recruiting victims for my own brand of old skool dungeon crawl one shots.

In 2020, I became one of the co-founders of the AlbaCon charity role-playing game convention.
