Tina began her LARPing career in the summer of her 16th birthday (2002). From that fated day on she was hooked and jumped from LARP to LARP throughout the Pennsylvania and New Jersey area. When she started, she didn't even know what LARP stood for. Tina now goes out of her way to learn and experience everything related to LARPing.

She is excited now to be able to help her friends create something she never thought possible and watch how things unfold. You can usually find her behind the desk welcoming in players at Logistics or laced up tightly in a corset behind the bar at the inn.

Matt Wagner is the environmental director and prop master at Seventh Kingdom, having previous experience working at three LARPs over the past eight years. In addition, Matt is currently a duel major at Rowan University, studying Theater Arts (focused in the technical aspects) and TV/Film Production.

As the environmental director, Matt manages and directs the creation modules, monsters, and effects that are used during every event. This does mean that often, as the man behind the scenes, he will never be seen or heard--but be warned: when you zone into the deadly lair of no return, you’ve entered his domain, and you leave your lack of immersion at the door. Prepare for a world of total immersion, full of all the greatest game experiences that only an IGE can bring. 

Prepare for the one and only… Seventh Kingdom!
