Ok, so here’s a meme that I’m tossing out. Answer it truthfully
Question: If you have met me in real life, what was your first impression of me?
And to reward you, here’s a picture of the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, on Kaui.

I'm Doc. I live in Sacramento, California with my wife, Grace, and two dogs named Yoyo and Duke. I've been blogging for 22 years. I'm a TTRPG gamer, a gardener, dog lover, cook, and unrepentant scalawag. I write things that I think people might enjoy reading, especially if they are roleplayers or just strange. I hope you enjoy reading my stuff.

I’m trying to remember my first impression … It would have been at Gen Con, naturally, and likely when you swung by the Atlas booth to check up on OTE happenings. I think you came across as large, loud, funny and subversive (due to bandana and tie-dye as well as conversation).
Large, loud, funny and subversive? Yeah, ok, it’s a fair cop:)
Veteran hippie. :) I have since learned of the depths that lie beneath.
I thought you were very funny; a person I’d like to spend hours with over drinks.

My Impression?
The first 12 year old to produce a full beard.

HUH?
Re: My Impression?
Cheeky, playful, inquisitive, lively. All with face fungus.
“Hippie-gamer! Cool!” were my exact thoughts. And then I saw the name badge and immediately fell into my fanboy reaction: acute shyness.

Hey, it’s better that being the “babbling nonstop” kinda fanboy:)
Man… we’ve known each other so long now (17 years, by your reckoning). And I had been reading your A&E stuff before I met you. I think my initial reaction was intrigue. :-) And then we discovered we had so much in common! And then we found out there were so many things we were complete opposites on! LOL! And we managed to stay friends anyway. :-)
17 years…holy guacamole! That was the same year that I met Peter, Spike, Steve Jackson and about a million other folks.
Seems like only yesterday, kiddo:)
Man that was many Gencons ago. Back when I was doing demo/booth work at SJG’s booth. I have to go with the very funny hippy guy with the bandanna who always had a large crowd of people around your Toon games.
Yeah, I had fun running those TOON games. I recall one at GenCon 1991 that I ran for 16 players up in Open Gaming. It had an audience of about 75 people.
