The Gamemasters

---

BUSINESS IS CLOSED

At The Gamemasters, we recruit DMs and GMs who have years of experience in running and playing the game which we are presenting to your child.  We have them go through a training course on using the Fantasy Ground Unity platform, so the experience of our attendees is on the game and the adventure, and not on any technical hurdles.

Thomas MacDevitt:

One of my first jobs was working at SSI testing computer versions of Dungeons and Dragons.  In the thirty years since that job, I have also produced over twenty-five role playing conventions for attendees of all ages.  In addition I also went to National University and to earned my teaching credential and Masters degree in education.  The children of the students I taught are potential attendees for our program!

Previously, she has worked with special needs children as a coach for Mindstorms Lego Robotics teams. She's been playing D&D for ten years as a player and a DM.

is a 22-year-old college student, currently attending the University of California at Santa Cruz. She has worked with children through the girl scouts in the past and has been playing D&D as a Game Master for three years.

David Johnson:

is excited to help students learn through games. A mathematician from Houston, Texas, with an MS in Mathematics and Statistics from the University of Houston, he began his career as a software developer, primarily authoring statistical management tools. Teaching others how to use those tools prompted a career change to education, and David spent 10 years teaching math, science and computer science to gifted students with learning difficulties in grades 3 through 12 at a small private school in Houston. Throughout his life and teaching career, he has believed in the power of learning through doing, with games as an important component. He has been a player and a DM of Dungeons & Dragons for 40 years.
