In every tavern, guild hall, or gaming table, there is one figure who seems to know everyone by name, whose laughter carries like a herald’s trumpet, and whose presence turns strangers into allies. That figure is Vinny, known far and wide as the Mayor.

For more than fifteen years, Vinny has wandered the realms of imagination—rolling dice, flipping cards, and weaving mischief into countless tales. Whether slipping into the shadows of Cypher and Shadowrun, stirring chaos at a Dungeons & Dragons table, or whispering secrets in the midnight alleys of the World of Darkness, his characters are renowned for walking the razor’s edge of trouble. Ever the instigator, Vinny delights in forcing his companions to think quickly, act boldly, and embrace the unexpected.

Yet his legend extends far beyond the roleplaying table. In the great dueling halls of Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, and other trading card games, Vinny has battled as a cunning strategist, wielded authority as a judge, and stood as arbiter where rules and rivalries collided. He has hosted and overseen grand events, marshaling games with the wisdom of a seasoned steward and the energy of a born entertainer. Beyond the physical tables, he has forged large online communities, uniting far-flung adventurers beneath a shared banner of play, camaraderie, and competition.

But what truly crowns him with his title is not only his skill or service, but his heart. Called “the Mayor” by all who know him, Vinny makes it his quest to connect with every adventurer, rival, or wanderer he encounters. To sit at his table is to be welcomed into a fellowship, and to leave it is to depart with a new friend.

Wherever games are played and stories are told, you can be certain: the Mayor is already there, shuffling the deck, raising a toast, and ensuring that no soul goes unspoken to.
