Make Yourself Known

[P.G. Holyfield]

Hey, P.G. Holyfield here... I'm currently tied up in the basement of one of the Lair locations (I hope it's the west coast one. I hate Ohio).

They're just afraid of me... ouch... could you at least feed the alligators once in a while? I woke up this morning with only eight toes.

I am a Dad and a husband... sometimes I write, but I am really bad at making the time required to do that on a consistent basis. Plus these ropes chafe a bit when I reach for the keyboard.

These guys have been wonderful friends and supporters since I started podcasting MaAH. I hope I can add some value to the place (at least as an attraction? "Look at the supervillain, dangling over the shark tank."

supervillain, Holyfiend? Really? Oh, the hubris.

[The Bearded Goose]

I am The Bearded Goose, otherwise known as the under-appreciated "friend" of the Evil Overlords. Though, perhaps, archnemesis may be better. After all, I did manage to have an alternate-dimension version of Chris Miller killed, by none other than his co-overfiend. Mwahahaha.

[Chris Miller]

Oh...you'll get yours, sir. Just you wait.

[blob]

I am Flunky Number 737225, Engineering Division, Special Projects.  If I was permitted by the Overlords to have friends, they might call me "blob".

I can be heard along with Messrs. Miller and Johnson on some of the earlier episodes of Volcanicast.  In addition, I did some audio fiction for Pulp Audio, nee Planet Retcon

When not dangling above a captive singularity taking readings, I also try to write at least a Haiku a day over at cynicaloptimism.org, but I rarely manage any more.

[Miscellaneous G]

Miscellaneous G, aka Hava-Dasha in da house. The beats I drop are so dope, if you spin one o' my tracks you'll be failin' drug tests for a year. Aw, yea.

Hmm.

Truthfully, I'm Gunnar Hultgren, cofounder of Game Night at the International House of Johnson. Yes, I said cofounder. Once upon a time, Game Night was a weekly affair with just Kris and I playing with his collection of rocks and tree bark. Then Kris acquired an XBox and we basked in the warm cathode ray glow. Game Night has grown since then, of course. Our membership has swelled, the games we play are better suited for the tabletop, Susie went and left me for some foreign guy...

Still, sometimes I wistfully remember the splinters and blackened fingernails of old.

(Yet your beats are always vegetarian.)

I jumped into the publishing industry during college, founding Eden Studios in 1997. Two years later, I launched The Forge, a site in support of creator-owned games. After leaving for a "government-sponsored camping trip in Iraq," I returned to civilian life and the gaming industry last year. I now advise game publishers how best to communicate with customers, combining print advertising, online ads, social and new media. Most recently, I've started a radio station that local retailers can play over the speakers in their stores. It helps publishers communicate with customers while their in the store environment and I'm excited to see it grow.

You forgot to mention your Atomic Array and RPG Countdown podcasts, dude. Well done and on the top of my podcast list.

They're even better than the podcast put out by the Lair. Better watch yourself around here. The 'Lords don't take well to *censored*.

[Frau Blücher]

Guten Tag, minions of the Secret Lair!

It has finally happened. Chris has managed to lure me into his torrid "other world" (pardon the pun for those of you in the know about our dark gaming publishing past). So I have adopted the moniker Frau Blücher *horse whinnies* because HeyFroggyBaby was just too sunshine and unicorns for this forum (but it is derived from the Muppets, so it's not as dorky as it could be).

I am Cathy Miller, the nagging wife of Chris. The one who keeps the kids out of the room while he records, who bugs out when the gaming gets hot and heavy, but digs the people involved. I have been there since the inception of the Secret Lair and every other group along the way, and I tend to stay out of that world to give Chris some space, but this one sounded like too much fun to miss!

So a hearty "Hi Ho, Neighbor" to all of you!

Cathy

To everyone who has posted a brief biography thus far, I would like to say this:

• Your loyalty—as well as your ability to follow simple instructions—has been duly demonstrated. Well done and welcome to The Secret Forums.
• We will be doing extensive fact-checking on every detail you have provided. Every detail. If you have been less than truthful, we will know and you will feel the consequences.

To everyone who has failed to post an introduction in this thread:

• We know who you are.
• We'll get the information out of you one way or another. This is likely to be the most pleasant (read: least painful) of the options available to us.

I am Matthew Stewart-Fulton, typically known as TheMadElf in these forum-esque settings.
I've been a long time fan/follower/interested audience member of the Evil Overlords^TM going back to the HHM and even the early days of Unquiet Desperation.
I've dabbled in podcasts, had a brief foray into the world RPG design but my life is currently consumed by my quest to finish my masters degree.
