RPGaDay 2023 #2 First RPG GAMEMASTER

My first gamemaster was a guy that I'm pretty sure was named Chris who lived in Culver City when I was living in LA. While I found him on the internet due to his interest in GURPS, when I reached out to him, he was starting a Rolemaster (affectionately known as "Chartmaster") campaign. My future wife and I only made it to a couple of sessions before transportation logistics just got too stressful to keep up with.

 My first long term GM was Dan, who ran a 3rd edition D&D campaign right when the books came out and there was a lot of interest. I'm sure I've told tales of Konrad the Barbarian before. The only reason I stopped playing in that campaign was because my future wife and I were having a rough patch, so the DM disinvited me to minimize table drama. We did eventually reconcile (and get married), so things did work out.

I want to say that my favorite GM was Kris Newton. Before he was a pretty awesome podcaster, and now a father, he was just a local gamer that I knew. He was usually up for whatever I wanted to run, but also ran some pretty good and interesting stuff of his own. I'm sure I've told the story of the time that our D&D party got pwned by a bard. That's the sort of thing that he excelled at.
