John Gonzalez once took a train from Los Angeles to Seattle with a hundred or so video game fans for a video game convention. The experience disturbed him to the core. One good thing that came out of the trip was that he learned how to play Dominion and Munchkin, kick starting his obsession with table top games. John loves hanging out with Lorena, writing, spending time with the cats, and playing games.
