Renee Schulz
Title: Hand of the Khaleesi
Production and Decorating Guru
Renee has been playing with Wilmark Dynasty since 2010, when she attender her first Relaxicon. Soon after, she was Cast for Oscars 2012!, where she was terminally bitten with the “behind the scenes” bug. She has helped write and GM Wilmark’s running of Once Upon a Time in Tombstone and Lullaby of Broadway III and has loved playing a man-eating (literally) Summer Fae, a famous 1920s lounge singer, or any number of corpses (she seems to play dead a lot). But what she really loves is converting hotels into whatever worlds the GMs and writers create for the players.
Renee primarily heads up the production aspects of Wilmark conventions; look for her before any LARP and she’s probably knee deep in fabric. But, as her title implies, she pretty much does whatever Elyssia needs her to. When she’s not trying to get players to join the scenery brigade, she makes a living writing marketing materials and singing in churches.
Jason Gagliardi
Title: Thumb of the Khaleesi
Production and Technical Assistant
Jason has been a member of Wilmark dynasty since his first LARP when he was 15, and he’s been a fixture ever since as the second of three generations in the organization. He loves playing memorable and often doomed characters like the villain Lo Pan or the incorrigible interstellar thief the Fox.
Jason is most often found helping Renee Schulz in setup, teardown, and managing the space at events.
Kyra Corradin
Title: Your Ever Luvin' Buddy
Daughter of two of Wilmark’s founding members, John and Mica Corradin, Kyra has been role playing with (and often pulling the wool over the eyes of) seasoned gamers since the tender age of 5. Kyra loves role playing! Whether it be grunting as goblin priestess Godfried or accepting an Oscar as Hollywood’s “it” girl Samantha Foxworthy, she’s not afraid to make a scene.
In addition to role-playing, Kyra also lends her artistic talents to the production of props and scenery, creating specialized pieces for Wilmark’s annual Labor Day LARPs. In recent years, Kyra has become increasingly interested in the writing/GM-ing aspect of gaming and has developed several stories that are waiting to be produced (get excited). Past writing credits include: the weekend-long, theatrical larp Unchained: the Journey Home, as well as mini-larps including Dinner with the Cardies and The Fairytale Larp: The Wedding of Bluebeard and Gretel.
As a Wilmark Council member, Kyra is excited to help guide the Dynasty as it continues to provide a gaming home for nerds, misfits, and dreamers.
Aimee Celeste
Title: Social Media / "Cat Herder"
Aimee is another “from the womb” Wilmark member but her first memorable game/LARP was Melanda 1994. From behind the curtain, she has been involved in production/editing/GMing for Lace and Steel III, Hamster, and (her favorite!) Oscars 2012. As a player, she’s appeared as a soul-hungry dark fae, a Medusa (that’s Me-DU-sa, not Me-du-SA), psychiatrist/sock puppet enthusiast, Paris Hilton, Jane Swallow’s first mate, clone of the Man of Bronze, and more (with many, MANY costume changes). She also survived being one of the many hosts of Amateur Night at the Styx (#tutuforever).
Aimee has helped with a variety of roles over the years, but currently moderates the Facebook and Discord for Wilmark. She spends her time online gaming and moderating, snuggling her 2 stripey kittens (and anyone else’s), and pinning/plotting All The Things costuming and makeup.
Lee McCormick
Title: The Hermit
Founding Wilmark Dynasty Council member
Before the advent of Broadway or even the Greek outdoor theater, Lee was there and playing roles (such as they were), singing songs, and danc…well, was never much of a dancer! He’s been performing for anyone foolish enough to stay and watch (or even join in!). Actor, singer, director, actor coach, or even theater class instructor, the performance gene has been a driving force within him.
In 1979, AD&D stalked and captured Lee’s imagination and need for social exchange involving stories and varied characters. For over 40 years this slave to the game table has played the roles of PC, NPC, DM, and GM for many too many hours of illspent youth (into his geriatric years). He has dabbled in the world of LARPing, most recently performing an unusual version of a character part of a life-long dream – Cervantes’ windmill assaulting knight, Don Quixote!
As a founding member of the Wilmark Dynasty, Lee is proud of many of his creative and innovative hours spent at a gaming table, or performing on or off stage – in or out of scripted gaming environs for the enjoyment of others and hopes he has brought joy to many others through shared events!
