Joe of Admin: Gimme a Quest!

Joe of Admin, who played the character Grom, began his Admin'ing days as a NPC Roleplayer and Quest developer for Dark Grimoire in late 2003. He played the NPCs T'yandra Stallheart and Sir Gunthield, interacting with players around Dundee and developing storylines for the game. At times he would use these characters to present small quests to newbies with rewards like the Strength Armlet.

Some might say he played a surprisingly good female character as T'yandra. While I'd certainly agree he roleplayed a character well, be her very feminine or not is another matter. I suppose you could rank her on the level of Arlanna in girliness. Nonetheless, T'yandra Stallheart became a favorite amongst players during her active time giving out quests to newbies and veterans alike. Kudos can surely be given to Joe for his creativeness in quest writing, despite the confines of the game mechanics in which he had to work.

All in all, lack of enthusiasm for development and an absence from the DG Community cost Joe his adminship. He was seen around DG in early 2006 playing Grom and his other characters, but has again gone into hiding.
