ROBERT DUNHAM
|
Bob Dunham is a 20+ year veteran of LARP in New England. Moving from a player of Mystwood, to a board member, to the CEO, Bob has steadily attempted to improve the quality of Mystwood through standardization, logistics, and organization.
Bob's passion for LARP, medieval history, and fantasy come together in his attempts to improve the verisimilitude of Mystwood in ways that might not be immediately obvious to the player at an event, but which allow players and characters to pursue any goal in the context of a world that makes sense and is both familiar and mysterious. Bob is one of three Game Masters at the Burgundar Chapter. |
DYLAN SIROIS
|
Dylan Sirois is a Graduate from the University of Maine with a degree in Secondary Education and History. He became involved with the Maine Adventure Society in 2009. After an immersive experience, he had the urge to create his own game, which later because Mystwood.
It is his hope Mystwood will expand the hobby to those who would not initially see themselves as "LARPers" by running an affordable, exciting, and inclusive game. Dylan's interest in history and education have driven him towards the creation of an immersive medieval world where anyone can aspire to Knighthood and be the hero that saves the day. |
DOUGLAS ANDREWS
|
Doug is a Veteran LARPer of 14 years who fell in love with the hobby from the very first Event he attended.
Having experience both playing and staffing events, and being mentored by Truax McFarland from the age of 14, he has enjoyed countless weekends in the woods with the Maine LARP community, and has worked to help the community and games grow over the years. He hopes that Mystwood will continue to attract people from all walks of life, and that the community will continue to grow and nurture the amazing world that is the Mystwood setting. A native of Maine, Doug graduated from Hall-Dale High School in 2008. He spends his free time with his dog Twig in central Maine. He currently works as an armed Protective Security Officer for the Department of Homeland Security, and is an OEF Veteran 2012-2013. |
DAVID SIROIS
|
David Sirois is a veteran LARPer who has taken part in many campaigns at both the Jefferson MASI site and the Harrison Burgundar site.
Alas, despite many attempts, he stalwartly refuses to create a biography, thus forcing Bob Dunham to enter this placeholder. |

BOARD MEMBER |
TRUAX MCFARLAND
|
Truax has been a Live Action role player for twenty seven years. His game design credits include Stalkers Way, Exile, Roanoke, Dreamquest, Monsters and Mayhem, and (with Dylan Sirois) the majority of the mechanics behind Mystwood. Systems derived from his designs have been used in more than a dozen Live Action Role Playing games across New England and beyond.
By his rough calculations, he has spent more than two years of his life LARPing. He is a Physics Teacher by occupation, a fighter by preference, and is the inventor of the Waystone "self-running" module mechanic. |
TOWNSEND THORNDIKE
GAME MASTER, ALBION |
Townsend Thorndike was invited to a LARP in Massachusetts in 2014, and he has been hooked ever since. Always an avid roleplayer, Townsend has been involved in historical reenacting, Dungeons and Dragons, and online roleplaying communities. In 2016, he fell in love with the immersion offered by the story, lore and politics of Mystwood's world.
Originally from the distant land of central New Hampshire, Townsend moved to Maine to work as an international security analyst. His passions are theatrical storytelling and spending time in the beautiful wilds of New England. He is often joined by his daughter, the spriteling princess Alanna Faye. Townsend serves as the Game Master of the Albion Chapter in New Hampshire on his family's farm and is excited to expand the Mystwood universe. |
BRANDIN TURNER

Brandin is a veteran LARPer of 20+ years and has had the pleasure of spending countless weekends with friends in the woods of Maine and beyond.
His favorite things about LARP are telling good stories, helping fellow players through complicated obstacles, and resuscitating failed plots. He has enjoyed Mystwood from the perspective of a player, chronicle runner and board member, embracing these roles with a desire for players for all players to maximize their enjoyment. When he isn’t in the field with his fellow LARPers, Brandin works with children and families to recognize their potential in the field of mental health treatment services as a case manager and substance abuse counselor. |

Dan is relatively green in the world of LARP, having enjoyed 5 active years of LARPing. He has had experience running countless tabletop games, and has helped run two chronicles for the the Mystwood sites at Burgundar and the Keep.
His favorite things about LARP are immersive moments that can touch you emotionally, crafting a story that players are passionate about, and creating some unique villains. When Dan isn’t creating stories with his fellow LARPers you can find him spending extensive hours in his sixth grade classroom working with children, or spending quality time with friends and family making stories of his own. |
