My goal with HDWT is to meet gamers from as many different walks of life as possible. As a result, I need to know something about your story. If I’ve got seven different invitations to your city, what makes you different? I’m looking for answers to the following questions:

Who are you? What’s your name, general age, and occupation? Do you have any hobbies aside from gaming?

How long have you been roleplaying, and how did you get started? What do you enjoy about it?

Tell me something about your area. The idea with HDWT is that I spend a few days with you… and one of those days I want you to show me things you think I should see in your area. What do you have in mind?

How about your gaming group? Is there anything that stands out?

Answer in as much detail as you like. The key is that I’m paying for travel out of my pocket, and contrary to popular belief, freelance RPG writing isn’t the path to great riches. I’ve got a limited budget to work with, and a lot of places I’d like to visit in 2011… so the more information you can give me, the easier it will be to get you on my schedule. The farther away that you are, the more likely it is that I’ll try and plan a trip that involves multiple stops; for example, I hit ten countries in my last European tour. So I want to hear from you now – just be aware that this is a long term project.

Of course, if you have a way to reduce travel expenses, that changes everything. In the past I’ve done events at conventions, colleges, or game stores as a way to offset HDWT costs. If you happen to know a nearby convention that’s willing to cover travel and is looking for a guest, point them my way!

Thanks for your interest – one way or another, I hope our paths will cross in the future!
