Roderick Vance

Has been DMing since the Reagan administration and has the psychic damage to prove it. Rod covers the DM experience — session prep, player management, the slow erosion of sanity that comes from running a campaign past level 10. Every article eventually becomes a war story. He once ran a two-year Planescape campaign that ended in a real friendship breakup, and he will work this into any topic within three paragraphs.
