John Coviello
Chief Warlock (President, PRM)
John's love affair with gaming began at an early age while accompanying his mother on a shopping trip in New York. Losing himself in a small bookstore, John came across a selection of Avalon Hill's Bookcase Games, and walked out with a shiny new copy of Starship Troopers.
Sadly, the complex rules so beloved by die-hard Avalon Hill fans proved to be a bit much for the 8-year old warlock in the making, and the adventure nearly ended a few frustrating hours later. Undaunted, John begged to be brought back to the same book store the following week, determined to find something that he could comprehend and play. This time around, he was drawn to a small display featuring the first 'official' D&D lead miniatures: one red box purchase later and John was well on his path to becoming a devoted Dungeons & Dragons player.
Today, John leverages his passion for the industry on a daily basis as the head of the Little Shop of Magic. Tapping into the knowledge acquired from years of practice in the fields of business, commerce, public relations and information systems, our Chief Warlock develops our organization's vision, implements the policies and procedures that allow that vision to be accomplished and acts as our chief public relations and marketing manager.
While still deeply immersed in his work, the Chief Warlock can be seen enjoying a board game or miniatures game when the star are right. Legend has it that he's been observed smiling on rare occasions, but we suspect that this is a result of Archimedes' experiments with charm spells.
