2018 - Giovanni - Shawn Carroll
Introduction and Background:
Good evening, my name is Shawn Carroll and I am running for Giovanni coordinator. I started playing with One World by Night in 1994. I have been a storyteller for Chicago vampire games (ChiReq, Chi: Dark City, and CDR) on three seperate occasions( 95-97, 00-02, 2014-2016). I served on council in the early days of the org, setting up the first listservs and websites. I helped draft the early bylaws and charter.
I am a life long gamer, I was introduced to RPGs via the D&D red box and I was hooked, I played Vampire in college and from there I was introduced to LARP. I played Giovanni and fell in love with La Famiglia. I helped organize and run several family gatherings in the MidWest. I want to help players by ensuring they have their issues listened to and problems resolved in a timely fashion.

Personal Statement:
I know that there are many ways to enjoy playing a Giovanni and I want to empower the players to enjoy the game thier way. I feel that is what a coordinator should strive to do. The should be a resource for players, storytellers and other coordinators to ensure the entertainment of the player base.
I have a long time love and respect for the Giovanni Genre. I want to share my passion for La Famiglia with the organization and it's players.
