Expert Profile: Robert the Lionhearted

Expertise:  I am one of the West Coast`s most sought after gamemaster/storytellers with 25 years convention experience. I am currently finishing my first RPG (Goreblade: Heavy Metal Roleplaying) to be published at the end of 2008. Send me questions about RPG conventions, various table top traditional RPG games(I play 20+), trends in RPG gaming, help for beginners, concerned parents and those returning to RPG gaming after years of inactivity. Questions regarding the new D&D 4th edition are very welcome.

What do you like about this subject?  I am a dedicated role-player because table top traditional RPGs give me what no video game or television show can ever give me - total immersion in a story where I am a main character! Nothing else spurs the imagination like an RPG.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  Note to Parents: Roleplaying games are FAR less violent than video games. Also, RPGs focus on storytelling, problem solving, conversation and teamwork - the lost arts of the modern world.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I am looking forward to my first professional published RPG in 2008. I am definitely learning a great deal about the PDF / POD business and I will be happy to share my experiences.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  Famous Gamers: Sean Astin, Jeff Bezos, Jack Black, Bruce Campbell, Asia Carrera, Claudia Christensen, Dave Chappelle, Stephen Colbert, Billy Crystal, Vin Diesel, Emilio Estevez, Bill Gates, Matt Groenig, Johnny Knoxville, Matt Lillard, George Lucas, Ewan MacGregor, Mike Meyers, Sam Raimi, Kevin Smith, Steven Spielberg, Quentin Tarantino, Wil Wheaton, Joss Whedon, Robin Williams and Elijih Wood.
