For well over 30 years I have been obsessed with creating characters, battling hideous foes, saving worlds, and, most of all, rolling dice. Most of that time has been spent behind a Game Master’s screen. Whether sending explorers hurdling towards alien worlds, delving into lethal dungeons, or fencing the latest cyberware there is no genre that my group and I have not experienced together. To put it simply, I love tabletop gaming.

That said, my gaming addiction is not limited to role playing games. I have spent more than a few hours at war with the Third Reich in Axis and Allies, playing the brutal Overlord in Descent, and seeking the Crown of Command in Talisman. Whether the games are tactical, cooperative, or anything in between nothing is more satisfying than grouping with close friends, overcoming challenges, and having a good laugh in the process. Oh, eating handfuls of Cool Ranch Doritos and drinking gallons of Mountain Dew is also good too.

I have opened The Pickled Dragon to share my 30 plus years of gaming with you, honored patron. I hope you will join me for tales of heroic deeds and hilarious folly. Discussions on games, new and old, and crafting unforgettable experiences for your role-players.

Now have a seat at the bar and get pickled with the dragon!
