Affectionately called, "Old Man"
by his partners, Charlie is the cattle prod that keeps
the herd moving. Gaming since the age of 3 with the
MB titan of games, Candy Land, Charlie has never stopped.
He played his first game of D&D in the original
paperback and does not even acknowledge anything after
2nd Edition. He loves all kinds of games; board
games, card games, video games and sports. He is
a fierce competitor and prides himself on his successes.
He began LARPing in Fall of 1997 and, with the exception
of a few brief sabbaticals, has not stopped. He
has been on staff at two of the PA/NJ area LARPs and
was the driving force behind Conjure. He holds dual
degrees in Education and Communications and wears many
of the "corporate" hats for the company. |

George
Shonk is thirty years old and from the Wilkes-Barre
area. He has been working for eleven years for
Wal-mart where he is the manager of the Sporting Goods
department. Growing up he was always active in
sports and had a love for the outdoors. He attended
Wyoming Valley West school district where, in his high
school years, he took up theater. He has been gaming
since the early 80’s and LARPing since 1995. He
was introduced to his first table top game, Dungeons
and Dragons, by
his mother who DM’ed at their kitchen table. He
soon developed an interest for the fantasy genre and
renaissance.
Combined with his interest in theater, he naturally
transitioned into LARPing after his high school years.
In 2001 he and four of his friends began their
own non-profit organization, The Wyvern Group. Together
they wrote and launched their own LARP,
Wyvern Rising, which is still running today.
In 2007 he and two of his friends began their own company
named Conjure LLC. |

Nick Larock is the youngest of the
three original members of Conjure. He works full time
at one of the largest meat packing factories in the
united states. (And don't think we don't tease
him about that) Nick got into LARPing through
the Boy Scouts, of which he is still a member.
Nick is currently a part-time student at Penn State,
Hazleton campus. He also enjoys hunting, fishing and
being outdoors. Nicks first exposure to both medieval
fantasy and role-playing games was the classic Hero
Quest. Even though he has played many of both
types of games since, Hero Quest still remains his favorite. |

Joe Pecora is a fantastic photographer and has an
excellent artistic eye. His writing skills are somewhat
lacking and until he provides us with a suitable bio,
we will simply say that he is a Pecora.
