Our Volunteers
 
Keith Byers
 
Established magician and author within books of short fiction stories, RPG modules and source projects, a blog, journals, and cartography.  Believes in character driven modules and game sessions with role playing be the primary source of direction that will provide the most fun and memories.  His game sessions are like an unfolding layered book, which are a balance of story exposition, exploration, role playing, time constraints, and combat for the most enjoyable experience. 

Eric La France

Old school PC gamer who moved to Moose Jaw in 2001. Eric has played a bit of AD&D back in the late 80’s but didn’t play again until 2016. Since then, he has been playing and DMing weekly D&D 5e sessions, and has started volunteering and playing PC games, board games and D&D at GAX. Eric also enjoys the creative, crafting side of D&D by creating maps, props, terrain, writing original content, and collecting and painting miniatures with a growing collection of over 600 minis.

Our Vision

As a part of our general charter, we have dedicated any profits above and beyond each year’s operating budget to be donated to children’s charities in the spirit of gaming.

We are solid believers in listening to what our attendees request and say in regards to events. The sky is the limit!

Throughout any growth, our main vision will always be to provide a place for people to gather and enjoy a time of stress free, no-pressure gaming.
