Sanctioned Game Masters

For over a decade, your friendly WARBOSS, has been hosting convention events throughout South East Texas. I've met and played with some of the best, most creative, and fair Game-Masters in many different RPG games and tournament events.

These individual Games Masters, I've gathered together for BR&WL-CON. If an event is marked with "Sanctioned BR&WL Event", then one of our verified Games Masters is hosting it.

Though we take pride in all the events we host, these events in particular, we know you will enjoy. The Hosts know the game their running, and have a history of punctuality, fairness, and fun as your GM.

Meet the BR&WL Sanctioned Games Masters:

Mike Ramirez:

A long-time BR&WL-BOSS and Game Master, Mike brings a willingness to dive into and run any game imaginable. You can usually catch Mike running Savage Worlds, Tiny Epic Dungeons, and Tiny Cthulhu. In Houston, he's known as the Big Bad Nerd Dad and runs multiple RPG Bootcamps throughout each month!

Steven Stenzel:

I first met Steven in Friendswood, Texas, when he started helping me run D&D Next and early Adventurers League events. He's been a staple of nearly every convention since, choosing to run events as often as possible.

Christopher Nappier:

Another fantastic GM, whom I had the pleasure of seeing play and run several dozen games over the years. Chris brings a unique flair and his own special blend of creativity to every adventure he runs.

Jason Keller:

At Comicpalooza in 2014, I met Jason when his 12-year-old son urged him to rediscover Dungeons & Dragons, a game Jason had enjoyed years earlier but set aside. That weekend reignited his passion, inspiring him and his wife, Tama, to purchase Golem’s Gate, a thriving game store. Now, Golem’s Gate proudly sponsors BR&WL-CON, bringing its love for table-top gaming to our community. As a skilled Game Master, Jason also leads unforgettable Dungeons & Dragons adventures at our convention, embodying the spirit of camaraderie and creativity.

Chris Liscomb:

At the first Owlcon events BR&WL hosted, Chris and I met during the very first Adventurers League games I hosted there. He's been an incredibly reliable and entertaining GM since. His willingness to host OSE as well as modern RPGs makes him a valuable asset to any convention.

David Mendez:

One of my most abused players, who has probably died in every campaign I've ever run, in some glorious fashion (Ask him about the Stop-Saw incident someday). David dives deep into some of the rarest and unique RPG games imaginable, bringing you some truly different experiences.

Ryan Cahill:

With a combined knowledge and experience of old-school and new, Ryan creates compelling encounters and adventures that twist and boggle the mind. His quick and weird wit has led many lunch time conversations with our play groups on how to handle unique situations that parties may encounter or create.

Don Cook:

The dude behind Table Two Gaming, providing fantastic adventures throughout Houston and introducing new players to D&D. He brings a flair of the Drow to every game. Don't try to out-evil Don, for you are warm and crunchy and taste good dipped in chocolate.

Catherine deSombre:

Forged in the rugged, untamed outskirts of New Jersey, Catherine honed a steadfast moral compass, wielding it with unparalleled skill and precision. Her unwavering sense of justice acts as both sword and shield, guiding her battles with the conviction others reserve for facts and logic. Shaped by the challenges of body dysmorphia and bolstered by a chosen family of kindred spirits, Catherine emerges as the Burly Paladin—a beacon of resilience and loyalty. At BR&WL-CON’s gaming tables, she leads adventuring parties with honor, embodying the heart of a true champion.
