Biography

Roger started playing in Turris Lunae and Barad Duin in central Texas around Events in 1989 exactly one week before Michael Hammer of God. Turris, with Bifost eventually became one of the cornerstones of the Celestial Kingdom. After witnessing some momentous events in the history of Amtgard Roger moved out of the country, to his original homeland of Panama, where he lived for two years and started a short lived Amtgard group. Finally allowed back into the country in 1991, he moved to Florida. There he started Silverwater, a group in West Palm Beach, which joined the Burning Lands. Roger served in park leadership at Silverwater many times, holding the poitions of Baron and Chancellor. Silverwater remained in the Burning Lands until 1999, when it became one of the original groups in The Kingdom of Neverwinter. Roger also served at the Legate of Neverwinter until a Monarch could be elected from July 1999 to January Events in 2000.

He was given his much deserved Knighthood in the order of the Flame] by Ivar at Clan in 1997. Almost ten years later, Neverwinter decided to re-flame belt him at their winter coronation in 2007.

Roger is one of the most influential amtgarders to ever grace the net. His contributions to the Amtworld have made it a better and more interesting place. With the creation of the Amtwiki he gave us an organic method of conserving our history. With the translation of the 6.0 rule book into Spanish he gave us a new audience for our game. With his participation in the 7.0 committee he helped to change the face of this ‘hobby’ forever.

His apellation, "Shrubstaff" stems from the Monty Pyton character "Roger the Shrubber", which lent his name to a D&D druid he was playing when he started amtgard. When told he could not use an actual name from a movie, he modified it slightly, combining it with a minor character from an old TSR boardgame called "Divine Right".

Roger was able to be found in Silverwater most weeks until it once again lapsed to inactivity.
