Evan Johnson

Evan is a passionate miniature collector, painter, and player with a deep love of history and a fascination for recreating historical battles on the tabletop. His enthusiasm for strategy and storytelling shines through in his hobby, whether he’s painting intricate miniatures or commanding armies across miniature battlefields.

In addition to wargaming, Evan is an avid board gamer who enjoys the way tabletop games bring friends and family together—creating memorable experiences and connections one game at a time.

Peter Bess

Having only recently started collecting and playing board games, Peter proudly embraces his title as the “noob” of the group. His true passion lies in tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) such as Dungeons & Dragons and For the Dungeon, where storytelling and imagination take center stage.

By day, he’s a mild-mannered librarian; by night… well, still mild-mannered—but with more dice.

John Edmund

A lifelong gamer, John Edmund’s tabletop journey began with Hi Ho! Cherry-O before moving on to HeroQuest, Battlemasters, and Chess in his childhood. In high school, he dove deeper into the hobby with Magic: The Gathering during the Ice Age expansion and began exploring roleplaying games through GURPS 3rd Edition.

After high school, when not doing “boring” IT work, John could often be found DMing Dungeons & Dragons, playing Magic, or helping out at his local game store. Later, he ran regular board game nights with friends at a local coffee shop and went on to co-found a gaming guild where he served as treasurer, organizing dedicated gaming space and hosting LAN parties for members.

These days, John enjoys attending conventions such as PAX Unplugged, Origins, and PAX East, as well as local gaming days whenever he can. He’s also battling the age-old gamer struggle: keeping his board game collection from overtaking his available space—so far, not very successfully.

Kim Johnson

Kim has been playing board games her entire life, but it wasn’t until she met her husband nearly a decade ago that she discovered the vast world of games beyond the traditional big-box store shelves. She especially enjoys games centered around wordplay, books and literature, and one of her favorite themes — cats.

In addition to her own gaming adventures, Kim loves sharing the hobby with her students. Each year, she introduces them to tabletop role-playing games by running a rules-light one-shot designed to spark imagination and teamwork.

Dan Regewitz

Dan first dove into hobby gaming around age twelve when he began exploring RPGs, including Dungeons & Dragons. In high school, a friend introduced him to Magic: The Gathering, sparking a lifelong passion for gaming. During his school and college years, Dan spent his summers working in the gaming department at a summer camp, where he ran card games, RPGs, and miniature games for kids ages 7–17.

In November 2008, Dan became a tournament organizer for the Wizards Play Network, later joining New Dimension Comics. He earned his Magic: The Gathering Judge certification in 2009 and achieved Level 2 Judge status in 2015.

Dan’s love for board games began around 2011, with his first logged play on BoardGameGeek being Ticket to Ride in late 2012. Since then, gaming has remained a vital and exciting part of both his professional and personal life—and he continues to share that enthusiasm with the community every chance he gets.
