Message: <blockquote data-quote="barsoomcore" data-source="post: 1906639" data-attributes="member: 812">I know it will come as a shock to many of you, used as you are to your image of me as a wandering sword-for-hire, treading the soil of distant planets as I battle my way through one army of unpleasant insectoid baddies after another, always with a cynical smile on my lips and a beautiful princess panting in my arms, but in fact...I'm a project manager in a software company. I run a team of about thirty programmers, testers, business analysts and sundry others, building good products for smart people. It's tons of fun. I've jumped a few times from one company to the other, since the tech market in Vancouver is, um, "volatile", I guess you'd say, but I haven't come across anything more fun that I might do.Oh, except that posting at Wizards for an R&D Manager for Magic. THAT would be more fun. But I'd have to invest way more time and money into playing Magic than I'm currently willing to invest.I write enough to keep me sane, and ENWorld gives me a place to publish most of it, and an appreciative audience, and fun feedback and other people's writing that's good for me, and my wife is writing a novel and we write and direct short films together and maybe in a couple of years we'll try and put a feature together but who knows?I like project management, which is by and large what both DMing and film directing are. I would love a PM kind of role in the RPG industry (Line Manager like what ENWorld is looking for), but right now I need to be making software money. Maybe in a few years financial pressures will ease (my wife and had a couple of irresponsible years we're currently paying for) and I can broaden my horizons.Maybe that sword-for-hire dream's not so far away...</blockquote>
