Devon's Gaming Page

Gaming is a peculiar hobby. People hold many misconceptions about the phenomenon, and the people who choose it as a source of recreation. Nevertheless, within the gaming world there are poets, actors, entertainers and teachers, folks for whom gaming is but one of many social outlets.

My Gaming

My current gaming preferences span a number of indie RPGs. Fate Core, and the Dresden Files Role-Playing Game, take up most of my table time, though I have run games of Apocalypse World, Mythender, PDQ, Dogs in the Vineyard, and a few others). The list of games I *want* to play or run is quite long.

My live-action gaming experience is almost entirely limited to conventions, most of which have been put on by our own troupe, Dreams of Deirdre.

• I was in a longtime RuneQuest 2e game, playing a Basmol Shaman (loosely based on Nathan Explosion).
• I played in a short Aberrant campaign wherein I played Titan, a scientist who could grow quite large.
• I played in a Mutants & Masterminds game, as a RoboCop/Transformer/Forge hybrid in Chicago.
• I played in a few Champions games, playing an Aquarian hydrokineticist based loosely (very loosely) on Abe Sapien of the Hellboy comics.
• I played in a plane-hopping D&D game as a Githzerai Sentinel (a neutral good variant of the Paladin, from Dragon magazine).
• I played a GURPS Victorian campaign as a retired Army Captain/White Mage.
• I played in a D&D 5e campaign as a dragonborne paladin of vengeance who revered Bahamut, fighting the rise of Tiamat.
• I played in a Star Wars: Edge of the Empire game as a medical droid on the run because of illegal dealings in pursuit of his dream to become a flesh-and-blood person.
