Exodus
Everything you know about Saurians is correct, but you don't know everything about them.
Interview: C.J. Carella
Armageddon is a game of war, myth and horror (cool, uh?). An Antichrist/Lovecraftian-style figure has taken over half the world, and WWIII is in full rage.
Interview: Caias Brian Ward
I was born on a mountaintop in Tennessee, I kilt myself a b'ar when I was only three... no, wait, that was Davy Crockett. He was the King of the Wild Frontier, you know?

By Graveyard Greg - "Go. Chess never interested me that much, but GO fascinates me. I've always wanted to become good at it, and I've never had the time."
Interview: Gareth-Michael Skarka
Gotta love 'em. On the surface, cheesy melodrama--but with some fairly complex social lessons and morals. All that, plus lightning kicks and thousand-palm strikes, too! How can you beat that?
Interview: George Vasilakos
I co-authored D&D with Gary Gygax . . . before I came along it was called Dungeons and Gophers . . . I set the bonehead straight and the rest is history. Just kidding . . . aside from running Eden Studios, I've done all…

Interview: John Goff

Interview: Jonathan Tweet
Mark Rein*Hagen and I founded the company Lion Rampant and wrote the RPG Ars Magica, which debuted in 1987. That game was an attempt to do wizards right; to simulate everything with a single, intuitive mechanic; and to…

It's a dark, modern-day setting in which JFK's been running the country under martial law since Jackie was assassinated by a bunch of deltas (superpowered people) back in 1963. The players take on the role of heroes on…
Interview: Oblivion's Edge Team
Oblivion's Edge is an RPG set in 2042--ten years after martial law was repealled...why was martial law put in place? Because of economic collapse, riots, terrorism, and a mega-nasty class-4 hot agent virus colloquially…

Interview: Richard Daken
I actually shaved my head at DragonCon three years ago so I could cover it with temporary tattoos promoting the ill fated Starshield game I designed for Tracy Hickman. I liked it so much I kept it. Nor real tattoos…

Interview: Steve Jackson
Basically, I just thought it was a real shame to have to learn a new set of game mechanics every time you changed genres. So I wanted to do one set of mechanics that would work for everything. Sounds obvious now. Back…
