The revised Convention Biography.

[gridlore]

Doug Berry has been wandering around SF/F fandom for close to 35 years. In that time, he has worked cons, been a frequent panelist at Baycon, run parties, and tormented ConOps. He will also argue anything at the drop of a hat. He lists his religion as Orthodox Baseball, Giants Synod. But what Doug is perhaps best known for is his perverse fascination with penguins.

He has been gaming since 1977, and shows no sign of stopping anytime soon. After surviving cancer in the mid-90s, he resolved to get published. The results were minor credits in several books and two “name” projects: At Close Quarters (BITS) and GURPS Traveller: Ground Forces (Steve Jackson Games). Success in writing fiction (aside from his resume) continues to be elusive.

Doug is easily recognized by his ever-present Giants cap and the silly we-really-won-the-World-Series grin. Currently on disability due to a pronounced inability to breathe, Doug is making use of his time by working on several RPG settings.

Good?

I'm not sure if it's an *inability* to breathe a much as an extended run of low rolls for the "breathe" task.

No, this was me not being able to draw enough oxygen to function. I could not breathe. Blood oxygen went as low as 73% Scary as hell.

I would click the "Dislike" button if LJ were so equipped. Hang in there.
