Mike

The crew’s self-appointed gringo — he’ll tell you so before you can. Mike is the methodical strategist of the group: logical to a fault, a little artistic, and happiest when the game on the table is dark, occult, or both. Axis & Allies is his battlefield of choice, but the shelf runs deep — an entire closet, three-quarters of it still in shrink wrap.

When he couldn’t find a D&D group, he just started one — and three and a half years later he’s still the default Dungeon Master, currently on a ‘creative hiatus’ plotting the next chapter of the campaign. Off the table you’ll catch him at the movies, talking through a sci-fi or a political thriller. Spice-wise, though? He’s the first to admit four out of ten is plenty.
