Just a dude, like many other dudes & dudettes, working on both a book and a game world... or 3.
I train (on and off) in martial arts, I'm a basic firearms instructor, camping, bushcraft, gardening, and ranching (cattle)
Love, LOVE, L O V E fantasy, high fantasy, sword and sorcery (I do differentiate between all of them), and sci-fi.
Conan (all three)
Red Sonja
Beast Master
dozens of other 80's flicks
Blade Runner
Star Wars (duh)
Star Trek
the Dungeons & Dragons movies... I dont care what you say, they're better than nothing IMO
Mythica
about dozen different live streams of D&D games Farscape Babylon 5 etc., etc.
very similar to the movies I listed plus... John Carter stories Connan - Huges and others Tarzan Solomon Cane sooo many Star Wars books you didn't think I was going to leave out the Hobbit and LotR Shanara books all things cyber punk all things Dragonlance etc.
