Blue Moon Aurora

Feb 18, 2010: Added a new adventure synopsis by Dakini to Behind the Screen that won the last competition on the forums. Lots of new maps for my Royal Campaign on the forums in the Blue Moon Atlas.  New links to my latest RPGNet columns in Duet Roleplaying.  All in all a good amount of new stuff. 

Jan 7, 2010: It is a new year and time for a new look for the website.  I am reorganizing everything to make things crisper and better organized.  I also intend to expand the site beyond roleplaying to encompass more of my interests, though roleplaying will remain first and foremost on the site.

My name is Kirk Johnson-Weider (KJW) and Blue Moon Aurora is my website.

For those who are curious, I was born and raised in Florida, but currently live in the awesome state of Maryland.  I earned my B.A. in history from the University of Florida in 1997 and was married in the same year to Michelle, my beloved wife, who goes by Dakini on the gaming forums she frequents.  After graduation, the next few years were spent trapped in the all encompassing service industry.  Following Michelle's example, I enrolled in law school and spent my first year at Stetson College of Law (St. Petersburg, FL) and then transferred to the Columbus School of Law at Catholic University (Washington, DC) where I earned my J.D. in 2005.  Instead of entering the legal profession, I have embraced a far more challenging profession - stay-at-home dad.  We adopted our children Anton and Alina in 2004 from Russia and I am the primary caregiver.  They are thriving and doing well which has given me time to turn my attention towards writing and maintaining this website.

This is my little sanctuary on the Internet and I am always trying to improve it.  If you have any questions, comments, criticisms, or cries of joy or anguish then you can email me at kjohnsonweider@yahoo.com.
