AB Games "started" when Rich left Kent for the wilds of Michigan. He and Ken and I had been gaming since high school, and through-out Rich's 12 years of undergrad at college. We wanted to have a project to work together on (the world of K'ilarn developed from that idea) to keep in touch. I beleive that Blair was the first non-Ohioan we added into the fold and much of the early maps (or only maps we have) have come from he, Rich and Ken. With Blair, we of course get the lovely Becky. We also got the Nick, Dean, Belcurve Dave, and a few others.

Origins moved to Columbus in... what year 96? 95? Super Dave was helping run the show at the time. He was living in Kent, and was college chums with my neighbor down in Columbus (which is how I was introduced to him and how he eventually became one of everyone's fondest memories from my wedding [another tale....]) Origins was an easy drive for some of us (those living in Columbus and Ohio) so we conned Rich in to coming down (it was easier from Kent in those days) to play. Our gaming experience with RPGA was so bad that we thought we could do a much better job. At the time Rich ran RPGA events down there for whatever toppins they thew out those days under pretty bad conditions. In 97 Rich and I started running Rescue. The bulk of AB has grown out of Rich's gaming group up at Central Michigan and our new friends we met each year at the con.

The name Amorphous Blob comes from a comment I made about Rich's and mine gaming group in high school. We rolled along, like some giant Amorphous Blob, picking up outcasts as we adventured (we had a rather rag-tag group at the time). That term began the name of our adventuring party, and we loved it so much that Rich and I applied it to our new project (K'ilarn and the whole GM'ing thing) because it sounded cool, and no one else was doing it at the time (back then you had GameBase 7 and maybe early, early Rogue Cthulhu then organized and running at Origins).

	Jay Whitmore , Game Master, Game Designer, Podcast Host
	We assimilated Jay at Origins 2000 and had him running stuff for us a few months later at UCon. He runs many events at conventions and is a constant presence at our meetings. He has lots of great ideas and has helped us out with the design of our newest game (still being tested) Anonymous Squirrel Warlords & Skippy.
	Games: Dungeons and Dragons, Silent Death

	"Super" Dave Radzik , Writer, Convention Organizer
	We inducted Super Dave into the ranks this year shortly before Origins 2001. Super Dave has expressed interest in writing some stories for our world. Already, he has proven himself an asset to the company with ideas on how we can advertise ourselves better!
	Games: Super is usually helping run the convention so I'm not sure what he runs.

	Dean Richey , Game Master
	Dean was pulled into the ranks in 2001, and helped us out by running several events at Origins that year as well as helping out with the Dance of Halus.
	Games: Champions, Dungeons and Dragons

	Mike Whiteman , 'Just OK' Game Master
	Mike enjoys running many different RPG systems, especially those that most people don't really know that well. He figures that way the players won't realize that he doesn't really know how to run the system, and that he is just an 'Okay' GM!
	Games: Buffy RPG, Star Wars d6, Deadlands Reloaded, Marvel Super-Heroes RPG, and whatever else catches his fancy in a given year.

	Trish Kloha , Game Master, Podcast Host
	Trisha got Blobbed at UCon 2003 previous to this she had played in events run by Rich and Chris namely Rescue of a Lifetime before she was Blobbed. Since being Blobbed she seems to get into a little trouble. On her way to UCon 2003 she was stopped and given a speeding ticket. At GenCon 2005, she along with Mark(her husband) were kicked out of the convention center because they did not have their badges...yet. Since then she has dubbed herself the Outlaw GM
	Games: Mainly board and card games and mostly games by Steve Jackson Games, Out of the Box Games, Days of Wonder, Mayfair Games, R&R Games and Rio Grande Games.

	Mark Kloha , Game Master
	Another Origins attendee that got blobbed. Mark will be joining us at GenCon, Origins and UCon.
	Games: Mostly Board/Card games: Hack'n Slash, Munchkin, etc.

	Alex Kreder , Game Master, Supply Sergeant, Podcast Host
	No one’s quite sure how or even when Alex was absorbed by the blob, but we’re pretty sure Mike had something to do with it. We keep him around because there’s no one with a better ability at getting just about any game in the world like Alex.
	Games: Star Wars d6, Orcs at the Gate, Wings of War, Star Wars Silent Death.

	Jim Brown , 'Non-Indexed' Game Master
	Jim was Blobbed because none of us could fathom how to run a system without an index, and since Jim seemed adept at running such systems we figured we could use him to attract all the weird fringe players to our room. We would have shirted him on the spot were it not for the fact he knew Mike Whiteman, and therefore he was put through a rigorous examination period. Jim still refuses to wear his shirts until we publish a manifesto organizing the group.
	Games: Rifts, Chaos Earth, Beyond the Supernatural 2, Palladium Fantasy, D&D, D20 Modern, and Twilight/Merc 2000.

	Andy Shockney , Game Master, Tactical Genius, Podcast Host
	Andy's gaming experience includes 20 years as a player and DM of great tabletop, rpg, and crpg games. Andy is an avid fan and supporter of the ENWorld gaming community. His writing credits include Relics & Rituals II and Creature Collection III, both published by Sword & Sorcery Studios. He is also a founder of Myrik Games, which published a D&D pdf spellbook, Tauralathan's Grimoire Vol. 1, in 2004. We shirted him when we saw that Andy actually knows the rules to D&D and we were all so impressed we just had to have him. Afterall somebody in our group needs to know the rules to at least one of the games we run. All hail Andy our Tactical Genius!
	Games: Dungeons & Dragons, Marvel Super Heroes, Champions, Battletech, Magic: The Gathering, and World of Warcraft.

	Earl Lindsay , 'Dark' Game Master, Assistant Web Master, Podcast Host and Producer
	Earl was a constant presence in AB events before being absorbed by the blob in 2007. He expands our unique offerings by providing events such as LEGO Silent Death and Sesame Street Cthulhu. Since becoming a GM, Earl spends his time figuring how to steal players from Mike and Alex! Bwahahahahahahahaha!
	Games: Plays and runs anything. Con Events are usually d20 (DnD, Modern, Call of Cthulhu), Savage Worlds, Silent Death, Formula De and the spectacle that is Circus Giganticus!

	George Anderson , Game Master
	George started with Avalon Hill boardgames in 1972, and as soon as DnD came out he was hooked. Much younger then, he was able to sprint through the picket lines to get his regular fix (buy stuff). He discovered the Blob in a little town called Efa in 2001 at his first ORIGINS and kept coming back. Finally, in 2008 with age catching up with him, he was too slow to escape and was absorbed. When not at his day job, George has consulted with game companies for military games, designs games and expansions (primarily ATS System) and writes articles for the Warfighting Guide published by Critical Hit. George also has a couple of adventure modules entering publication shortly.
	Games: Wargames (Miniatures & Board). Plays and runs most RPG Systems (far too many too list). Currently prefers GURPS and TORG, but that can change.

	Dan Tillberg , Game Master
	Dan got blobbed at UCon 2008 after running and playing in Rich's bi-weekly game for a year. He has as a yet undiagnosed obsession with anything involving poo flinging monkeys, goats, potty humor, bodily functions, or a well-timed wonderfully executed back stabs. He can regularly be found cursing his 9 year old computer as he plots to thwart his players' plans for his next at-the-table aneurysm.
	Games: DND 4E, Vampire the Masquerade, Werewolf, Battletech, and Hero Smash!!!

	Brenda Anderson , Game Master, Team "Mom"
	Brenda was an innocent young girl from the wilderness of Pennsylvania. That all changed when she met George who damned her soul for all eternity by teaching her roleplaying games, starting with AD&D 1st edition. She has since gotten payback on him by making the PC "shopping trip" into a 3 or 4 session marathon adventure unto itself. Brenda likes being the "Mom" and makes sure everyone has snacks, that all the little things are handled, and everyone is where they are supposed to be when they're supposed to be there.
	Games: Cooperative Boardgames such as Arkham Horror and Minion Hunter (Her Favorite!). Brenda also runs "A Faery Tale" and Deliria.

	Sophia Anderson , Game Master, Fiery Inebriant
	A not so ancient prophecy foretold of a child, birthed of gamers, reared by gamemasters, educated in the way of conventions. Lo, a youth that would blend with the blob and transform an amorphous shape into the pinnacle of gaming which was its destiny to claim. Behold Sophia, gaming diva who asked… nay, demanded to join with the blob to drive its creativity to heights as yet unimagined!
	Games: Descent, Fantasy Imperium and whatever the frak she wants to run.

	Melissa Lindsay , Game Master, Podcast Writer, "Travel Agent"
	The lovely wife of Earl and an experienced Grrrl Gamer. Missy was absorbed because she bought lunch for Rich. She has taken up many of the administrative functions for the Blob at conventions. And continues to amaze with the travel deals.
	Games: TransAmerica, Dominion, other boardgames and the spectacle that is Circus Giganticus!
