About the Handle:
What I Do / What I've Done:
In my spare time, I run various role-playing games at my house with friends. (I like miniatures games - especially the part about kitbashing, painting and occasionally sculpting the miniatures, and making scenery to go along with them.) My other hobby interests include font design and illustration.
Religion and Family:
Most of my family, otherwise, is well scattered over the United States, and I did a bit of moving around while growing up (mostly in the Midwest).
More on Hobbies:
I've run a lot of role-playing campaigns, and some of the material generated from these campaigns is on this site. Most recently, I've devoted
my creative efforts towards Pirates of the Spanish Main RPG, which is done in the Savage
Worlds system - a successor to Deadlands. (And I spent a few years playing Deadlands in a
post-apocalyptic setting, as well as Deadlands circa the early 20th century.)
Advanced HeroQuest holds a special place in my heart, too. It's not the first game system I ever ran (as that honor belongs to the monstrosity that is Champions 4th Edition) but it's one that has "aged well" due to its simplicity and
flexibility.
I've also done a bit of artwork for the Ironclaw RPG, put out by Sanguine Productions, Ltd., and I have some writing credits in the "Bisclavret" supplement. You can also find some of my artwork at Cumberland Games & Diversions, a site dedicated to paper accessories for roleplaying games. (I've done illustrations for a few of the "Sparks" sets there.)
The Web Site:
Way back in grade school, a friend and I discovered role-playing games, thanks to a couple of incomplete modules and screens I acquired cheaply in a clearance sale. We invented fantasy personas, imagining ourselves to be a couple of knights or "paladins." I settled upon the moniker of "Jordan Greywolf," because I liked the sound of it. Later, when I would go on to do artwork for the high school newspaper, then for the college newspaper, I signed my artwork by that name - and I used it as a basis for various online usernames. In the real world, I answer to either "Todd Peacock" or "Jordan Peacock." Or, "T. Jordan 'Greywolf' Peacock" if the mood strikes. I'm not terribly particular.
I've worked as a sculptor, a typesetter, a computer programmer, a technical support representative, and an illustrator. I have been very
fortunate to land a job at Ideas To Go, a creative facilitation firm - quite possibly one of the coolest
places to work, ever. There, I am officially a "word processing specialist," where my very fast typing speed comes in handy when capturing the
output of brainstorming sessions and focus groups. I am occasionally put to work as a concept illustrator when the need arises.
I'm a Christian of Baptist leanings, while my wife, Wendy, is a Pentecostal. We get along just fine, for the most part. ;)
For a while, I edited a fanzine called Pawprints Fanzine, a journal of "critter" artwork and stories, published by my friend, Conrad "Lynx" Wong. After issue #12, we wrapped it up; online art and story archives have largely taken care of the niche that "Pawprints Fanzine" was trying to fill. Lynx runs an online MUCK that I sometimes visit, SinaiMUCK, where he and May "Rowan" Wasserman run various online role-playing adventures.
