No need to humble yourself in his presence.  Your DM is often known as Druid, and sometimes called OldAsDirt, although his real name is Bill.  [No relation to the ancient and decrepit King Wilhem of Melfis.]

He started playing these role playing games FTF some 20 years ago, both as player and DM.  Eventually he migrated his interest to the online version as it came into being.

He lives and works [as a software geek] in Texas, with a real life wife and son.  Both serve as assistant torturers idea sources, while the latter will be acting as assistant web-page slave.
