Your Ethermeet Staff

Staff	About
Cory Welch	Judge and occasional streamer of DCC games at DCC_Mayhem. Loves the Goodman Games RPG lines and deep unerring roots in the Call of Cthulhu RPG. I only played with Jerry a few times, and I was mostly an acquaintance. I attended Jerry's memorial service and I was astounded with what I learned about this incredible gentleman we had lost, and the realization of the loss his family, friends and our world has experienced. Thanks for making this a better place, Jerry!
Steve	Late starter, and plays more often than ever would have thought. Usually makes mistakes when creating characters, and has no problem with a good pre-gen. Snacks way too much while gaming.
Hazel	Essential woman of awesome and now artificer of Ethermeet Luck! Hazel's work and support for the Crawl (and the organizer Cory!) makes it possible. She is the grammar master keeping our releases sane for your consumption!
