One of my goals is to promote Role-playing games. and bring the gaming community together.
History
[edit]1999 I created Forbidden Fantasy is an roleplaying resource site and dedicated to promote Role-playing games, live action role-playing games, clubs and events mostly located in United Kingdom and United States of America. 2000 Forbidden Fantasy was closed down due to real life issues
2008 Myself and a group of friends founded Awakening Forums designed solely to keep in touch with each other who moved away and more importantly Role-playing game online. Later on became a public and popular Play-by-post role-playing game forums.
2010 Garry and some friends formed The Role Play Haven, a role playing club in the Lewis Club inside Lewisham Hospital grounds.
2011 I was approached by SKY TV to take part in a show called "Ashley Banjo’s Secret Street Crew". As requested by Sky I selected a group of six (Anthony, Arthur, Garry (me), Jamie, Terry and Tom) members of the Role Play Haven who had no dance experience. They had no idea who would be their dance guru ether! However Garry had to drop out at the start and was replaced by a new member to our club, Peter. Peter was very new to role playing and even more, new to dancing!
2012 Formed a committee at the Role Play Haven (RP HAVEN) to give power to the members of the club forming a true community driven role playing club.
2013 Getting the Role Play Haven (RP HAVEN) involved in helping to save local hospital from closing
