I'm a daddy. I squeeze in my writing. My little girl is learning to walk and her favorite stuffy is Miss Jaguar. Kids are great.
I've been playing D&D since I was in 7th grade. I first saw this game while camping with the boy scouts. A different patrol than mine was playing the game, and I followed it with envy. They were fighting Tiamat in a dungeon geomorphs dungeon. Many years later, I am now all grown up, have a wonderful wife, a cutie girl, a cat named Squirrel, a steady job, and a house. I earned a degree in English Literature and Comparative Religion from Virginia Tech. My bread-and-butter is supporting computers at a first-tier research hospital.
My goal is to push myself towards professional-level, finished work. I am very supportive of developing and implemented best practices for this wiki. I want this wiki to be the best independent site on the web, if not the best D&D site period. This will take a great deal of work, a dedication to quality, and lots of mistakes. In the end, all of this work is for the users who come here.
I am the main admin for the System Reference Document. I started porting it in March of 2006, and I am still not done. I may never be done. The SRD is a labor of love, and in my mind, the foundation to building this wiki into a world-class D20 resources. I'm not doing this for me. I am doing this for the D&D community.
My other large project is Endhaven.
Where do I get all the time for this? I am not playing WoW or Everquest, and I don't own a TV.
One of the best pleasures of this project has been all the other folks dedicated to making this wiki a great resources. We've got some sharp folks here, from the sysadmins to the English Major geeks. I hope that this stays a fun ride.
Permissions[edit]
Yes, you have permissions to use my dndwiki entries in your works.
If you want to add any world specific information to my works, please add a header such as:
===Catkin in the Flatland Setting===
Follow that with a description of how my work fits in that particular settings. You can change details, or wholesale rewrite the fluff in your own setting section. For example, "In the flatland settings, all catkin are the giant type with the fire subtype."
I have placed my entries here on the wiki so that people will USE them. The best damned complement that I can get is "we used this in our game and it worked great!" The second best complement I can get is, "We used your stuff, and here's where we had some trouble ..." Playtesting is GOOD.
