B.A. (Boris Alphonzo not Bad Attitude or Bozo as his schoolmates called him) Felton is a devoted GameMaster, loyal to his group and the game known as HackMaster™. In his 30s, he still lives with his mom, but this has given him the time to perfect his craft. To make money, he drags himself away from his game designs to work the graveyard shift at the local Pizza-Go-Go.

In his early years, B.A. played a Gnome thief named Tar Markvar, a character fate frowned on, whose wit outshone his wisdom to the day of his death.

B.A.'s college career of anthropology and history study didn't last long; he dropped out to pursue his dream of being a game designer. He spent his life savings of $6000 into developing and producing his first independent game, DAWG: the Role-Playing Game™. Unfortunately, the game failed and bombed; B.A. believes to this day that the game didn't sell due to a negative review in WatchDog Gamer magazine (run by Nitro Fergueson). This was too much for B.A., who suffered a nervous breakdown and gave up gaming. A few years later, the sound of rolling dice called to him once more - he began gaming again and founded the Knights of the Dinner Table. At their peak, the KODT boasted a membership of 26; in the following years, membership has fluctuated and now stands at a steady five.

B.A. has always tried to push the envelope in both features, description and imagination. The first adventure he ran as a GM was "The Hordes of Dark Devastation." Swiftly moving from pre-generated shelf adventures to his own adaptations and creations, he inflicted, er… ran his first home-brewed adventure "It's A Rocky Road To Frankenstein's Castle" - the HackMaster™ adaptation of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show", while Bob and Brian were the only Knights. His innovations didn't stop there - successfully mixing incompatible systems, employing the most intense game aids or taking his group into the 21st Century with GM aids and player systems are samples of B.A.'s dedication. Granted, not every one of his experiments is a complete success; sometimes the role of a GM must fly in the face of available facts. But his hard work, his innovations, his time at the HackMaster™ Academy and his willingness to spread the joy of HackMaster™ to new players or new GameMasters give proof of B.A.'s caring, love and dedication to the phenomena that are Gary Jackson's HackMaster™ and the KODT.

It hasn't always been easy for B.A.; his great work isn't always appreciated - or without dangerous incident either. Although B.A. has had some glorious moments, one of the darkest moments - for himself and for the Knights - was the day he chose to quit when fellow/competing GM Earl Slackmozer moved into the county and cheated to win the respect that was rightfully B.A.'s; and yet in the end, B.A. and the Knights won through. With a slice of pizza in one hand and the notes for his adventure with a home-brewed system, B.A. keeps the thoroughly well deserved title... of GameMaster of the Knights of the Dinner Table.

The preferred system for B.A. and the Knights is Gary™ Jackson™'s® HackMaster®, with its derivative supplements, SpaceHack!® and CattlePunk®.
