It's that time of year again! Baycon Guest Biographies!

[gridlore]

I've been filling out the guest questionnaire for Baycon 2009, and have come to the biography. Here's what we used last time:

The first step in a cunning plan by the world’s penguins to enslave all of humanity, “Doug Berry” is actually a giant (for them) battle robot piloted by a crack team of fairy penguins (Eudyptula minor) and disguised to appear as a slightly odd writer of role-playing games.

In order to maintain the illusion, the Doug-bot writes for the classic RPG Traveller. Published works include GURPS Traveller: Ground Forces, At Close Quarters, and sections of several other books, including the upcoming GURPS Traveller: Interstellar Wars. He is the acknowledged expert on the military in the official game setting.

Terrifyingly, the Doug-bot has married, and lives among the unsuspecting citizens of San Jose. The bot has survived both Hodgkin’s Disease and the 2002 World Series with minimal complications.

The only way to keep the Doug-bot from carrying out its horrible mission is to feed it lots of Coca-Cola. That, and tacos… Penguins love tacos.

Anyone have suggestions to improve on that? 250 words maximum.

How about this: What panels would you like to see me on? Suggest some topics and i may add them to my suggestion list.

madelineusher: when does your school year end? Any chance of making it up here for Memorial Day weekend? We have crash space and a membership for you if you can.

School ends on the 22nd or so, so yeah, I might be able to make it up! :3

Unless, of course, this invitation is part of some penguin plot.

Great! The membership is being held for you. Let me know ASAP if this will work for you. We will of course be able to pick you up at the airport or train station.

Penguins? Plot? (looks around nervously) Who said anything about penguins? heh-heh.

Hey, metal-pushing friend of mine. Just heard of an act that echoes back a bit to Waylander but has a different Celtic pedigree. Eluveitie, a Swiss band that sings in reconstructed Gaulish. Eluveitie is the Etruscan version of "Helvetii." Crunch death metal meets continental Celtic folk, complete with hurdy-gurdy, flute, violin and VERY crunchy guitars. Lead singer is also a flautist (not to mention yet another tenor screamer).

I am pretty sure that GURPS Traveller: Interstellar Wars has been published since I own a copy.

You might want to update that.
