Joe Mandala was a guest speaker at MerpCon III. Joe has been involved in Middle-earth gaming since the early 1990s when ICE revised MERP for its full second edition. Shortly thereafter, he was selected to pen the mighty tome Races and Cultures of Middle-earth for RMSS, but sadly it was never to be published as ICE lost the license to Middle-earth before project completion. Pieces of that (incomplete) work can be found here and there on the internet, having found homes where they could. Joe began gaming in Middle-earth sometime in the mid-1980s, and has been doing so ever since (with a break now and then). Joe makes his living currently working with law enforcement agencies on criminal intelligence systems in a project management role. His largest current project involves an inter-jurisdictional statewide Intel system for the state of Kansas that will also interface with national and federal agencies. Joe was born in 1972. He studied Classical Antiquity at the University of Kansas and has served in the US Army (albeit briefly). He was married in 1996, and has four children with his wife Jill. He lives in northeast Kansas on a small 10-acre farm, and would love nothing better than to be a gentleman farmer, or possibly a Hobbit.
