Stephen Stallkamp
System Helper of Dark Aeons, Season 3

Stephen is from Toledo OH. Originally Stephen was working with  Brian in an attempt to revise the Center Stage Game System so that it will be ready of publishing within the next year and a half.  He is creative and tends to notice where holes are, which is a good thing when finishing a game system. Since then Stephen has realized that finishing school and personal pursuits require more of his time and that he doesnt have the time to work on material for the Center Stage Game System. All in all, he was an invaluable help during his time with the playtest group.

Former Cast Members (Seasons 1 & 2)

 

You are probably asking yourselves the question, "How could a Director possibly manage a Tabletop game Cast that large for Seasons 1 and 2?" To clarify, Season 1 of The Dying of the Light was performed in Live-Action (LARP), Season 2 was performed as both a Live-Action and Tabletop game.
