CarpeGM Interviews – Episode 7 – Mark Hoge

I had the opportunity to sit down with Mark Hoge, Founder, and Director of Renaissance Adventures, and creator of Adventure Quest: Fantasy RPG for table top and LARP.

Since 1995, Mark has been doing fantastic work in Boulder, Colorado, introducing hundreds, if not thousands of kids to the gaming hobby, while nurturing creativity, encouraging imagination, and bolstering self esteem.

Mark is now transferring his tried and true LARP system to a table top format and has a Kickstarter campaign to support the effort.

Take a look.
