About Me
Greetings! I'm Gamilar, a multi-faceted individual with a passion for life's diverse experiences.
As well as being an IT consultant, I also run online role-playing game session using Foundry VTT and Discord.
I currently live near Exeter with my beloved wife; I suffered a stroke in 2018, it took me about a year to recover and left me with Broca's Aphasia (or expressive aphasia). Moving to Devon had been a benefit as it helped to relieve my stress levels, and it allowed us to be closer to our grandkids (which was a bonus).
My Hobbies
Gaming I've been gaming since I was a teenager. Most British players have started with either the Fighting Fantasy or the Lone Wolf books. At one time or another, I have played and run games with Dungeons & Dragons, Runequest, Rolemaster, GURPS, Savage Worlds, True20, Dragonbane, and Pathfinder.
Geek Culture Yep, I'm a Geek (or Nerd) - and I'm proud of my Geekiness. I enjoy anything from Fantasy to Sci-Fi, from comics to videos, from online games to tech innovations. I pop along to the local Comic Con each week and, just recently, I found Clifton Road Games, a gaming shop between both my home and my office. It now means that I can now fulfil my gaming addiction as a player and as a gamemaster.
Ballroom and Latin American Dance Dance isn't just a hobby; it's an way of life for my wife and I. Whilst I was studying at the University of Sheffield, an associate of mine recommended that I join the club since it was held in the same hall as my hall of residencies. So I never looked back from then on, joining the team to compete; I met (and married) my wife through dancing, we went competing together, and we got involved promoting events and competitions.
