Marc Blumberg: was a member of III back when it was still the Hero Auxiliary Corps (HAC), running such memorable games as the Texas Rangers Champions tournaments, the continuing saga of Justice Incorporated, Saturday Morning Cartoon Hero, and the occasional experimental table-top game. More recently, Marc loves to promote Live-Action Role-Playing, and has run several one-shot LARPs in various genres.

Rich Bowers:
This is my 4th year running games at Gen Con, my 13th year attending. I have been role playing since Dungeons and Dragons got me started in 1975. Currently my preference is Super Heroics, using the Champions system. All 3 of my kids attend Gen Con and play in our weekly game at home. At Gen Con I run The Ravens: A group of supernatural investigators in the spirit of X-Files, and the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen in several incarnations - Modern Day, 1930's, Old West, etc.

Dave Collins: I run Courting Murder LARPs set on various world and times. Players can actually kill other players during the game- the deceased PC becomes a ghost so the dead player doesn't have to leave the game and can help solve her/his own murder.

I also run Justice Inc. - Chicago Capers is set in 1926-1927 in a world where WWI never happened. most of the PCs have weird talents of some sort. This next year I will be running one new adventure while rerunning the whole series of adventures again. My other JI campaign is New York Knights, and actually has fairly low level superhero types

Susie Collins:

Kerry Connell: Well I have been to almost 20 years worth of Gen Cons and been running games at well more then half of them. Since I fully believe in the III theorem that it is really the story that matters I have run games using several different systems but I prefer the hero system. Past events have included the Guard the Wake, and Twilight Sanction. This year I will be running two games using the hero System the Treehouse Heroes, and the Guard:2100. Come to the games but leave the books at home ( I only bring mine for show...now I will have to find it...)

Brian Curley:Brian is a 41 year old Linux systems administrator for the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He has a BS in Political Science (the irony of which is not lost on him), so when college was over he was well-qualified to flip burgers in any of a dozen fast food restaurants. Instead he dove in to the fast paced world of wholesale games and comic book distribution.

Conking his head of the shallow end of the job pool, he then went to work for the medical insurance industry and then the Wisconsin State Patrol. For the past 14 years he has successfully avoided the "real" world by hiding in the sheltered halls of academia. He is happily married to Lori, and they are quite contentedly owned by three wonderful felines: Harry, Widget and Gleep. Website.

Rachel Dolnik: I first started gaming with the gateway drug of role playing; DnD. A few years later I was introduced to the wonderful world of Champions and haven’t left. It wasn’t until I was considered (legally anyway) an adult that I was dragged to my first Gencon where, over dinner, I promptly got suckered into taking care of the III website. (It’s amazing what I’ll do for free dinner.) Swit22@gmail.com

Brian Grau:I have run STARSHIP XT11, THE CHAMPIONS tournaments and have been running HORROR HERO to date. As it stands I will most likely be running HORROR HERO again this year. I have been playing RPG's since 1980 and have played a variety of systems. Contributed as a playtester on Champions 4 and helped co-write some powers for Champions 3. I am listed as an editor on ROBOT GLADIATOR although I wouldn't mention that.

Susan Grau:Sue has been with HAC/III since the beginning and will be attending her 26th GenCon this year because she’s just too stubborn to know when to quit. Known for her forgetful nature, such as forgetting to eat or sleep during cons, she’s just crazy enough to run III while being sane enough to realize how lucky she is to have such a great bunch of friends to hang out with. She’s run a number of Hero System genres over the years, from science fiction to fantasy to her oddly popular ‘Surprise’ event, but her main focus has been on superhero games such as the Champions tournament, Octagon and the Heroes of Pacifica. This year she continues the ongoing adventures in Pacifica with a two part story beginning with the Champions variant miniatures game “All Hell Breaks Loose” which is followed by the role-playing event called “Aftermath.”

Geoff Speare:
I'm a long-time roleplayer and Hero System fan. Back before the Intar-Web, I ran the Hero System email list; I used to write in the fanzine Haymaker!, and post occasionally on the Hero boards as well. At my first GenCon in the mid-90s, I found III (then called HAC) and quickly fell in love with the roleplay-heavy, system light style of game that they (er, we) tend to run.

After a few years, I started running my own game (with a friend, Cal Rea). Psi Hero is a modern-era game, but with psi powers -- much like "Heroes", or the "X-Men" movies. (I was there first, darnit!) Although it has missed a year or two, 2007 marks the tenth episode; and probably the last for a bit, as it needs a little fallow time. There's a world description document around here somewhere if you are interested in more detail.

Two years ago, I ran a Firefly game (as in the Joss Whedon TV show), using the characters from the show as PCs. It was fairly successful, so I'm doing another one of those this year and will probably keep it up as long as people show up to play. :) (Technically I use the Hero System for this, but there isn't exactly a whole lot of dice rolling going on so it really doesn't matter...)

I live in the Boston, MA area, where I also play board games and ultimate frisbee.

Wendy Weaver: At GenCon I have GM'd Call of Cthulhu, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and co-GM'd on the larp Port of Hidalgo and co-wrote/GM'd the larp Salem is Burning. I like both table top gaming and live action role playing. Thanks to the groups in my hometown that have been my test subjects, er I mean, guinea pigs, er I mean willing participants in madness, er I mean Oh forget it. Website.

Rob Wiener: Rocketed to Earth as a baby, only to find not only did I not possess super powers, but no amount of being exposed to radioactive bugs would give me any. Left without the capacity to become a superhero, I chose the next best thing and threw myself headfirst into the world of heroic role-playing. My flare for the dramatic, love of pulp fiction and super heroic adventure, and natural penchant for chaos drew me to several games at Gencon. After a few years of me infesting their games with my particular brand of mayhem, the club made me a member. At home I am a normal person, addicted to Heroes, Heroclix, and whose Champions home game is entering it’s 5th year. At Gencon, I am a proud member of III, no idea how long, or if my years as a HAC groupie counts, running Bureau 13, The League of UNextraordinary Gentlemen, and Weird Western Tales along with my brother and lovely fiancée. Someday I’ll get that Wildcards LARP written…
