Hello there; I'm Bob Traynor. I've been gaming since the 70s, when me and my high school friends Laurey and Marilyn went on a whirlwind 10-hours-a-day-three-straight-days run through the wild and intense world of the Empire of the Petal Throne. Since then I've played RPGs; GMed RPGs; run tournaments; been a convention speaker; written for SJ Games, Iron Crown, Gamelords and Mayfair; designed a homebrew; playtested RPGs; moderated the gaming tracks at Worldcons ... this is one of the enduring things I've done in my life. Down through the years, I've had some strong opinions. Read this blog, and you'll have some of them inflicted upon you.
