Nobody important. I've worked at a game store and its distribution business for a year. Playtested a few games. Sold a few articles to the Journal of the Traveller's Aid Society.

I am, i'm me.

You don't need to know who I am; either you agree with me, or you don't, and my identity shouldn't play into that.

I am a meat popsicle...


And no one of consequence.

But I am the sole operator of Keck Publishing. I've published those awesomely craptastic titles such as Simple Sixes, One Shot Adventures: Days of Knights, Side Trek Scenarios: the Goblins of Blood Wood, and most importantly, Threat Record Magazine (which will soon be available in print).

Upcoming products include Heroes of Legend, a sort of modern post-apoc/supers/fantasy mash-up using the 4C System; ACES, an alternate history WWII game using the D6 System with a heavy influence from movies like the Dirty Dozen, Kelley's Heroes, et al. On the back burner is a Sci-Fi game using the 4C System where the PCs are various alien species within our galaxy that are at war with an expanding human race, and a Mecha game also using the 4C System.

Currently everything is on hold, or at least on slow burn, as my wife and I are expecting our second wee one within the next couple of weeks! Hopefully things will get back on track soonish afterward.

I'm the guy behind the guy behind the guy.



Watch, I'm gonna do my thing with the thing.

I am SUBOTAI! Thief and archer! I am Hyrkanian.

What am I doing here?

Dinner for wolf.

The thing with the guy?

I know what dude I am. I'm the dude playin' the dude, disguised as another dude!

I work at a game store for the past 6 years, 5 months.

Before that from 1992 through 2007 I was known for dressing in a Klingon uniform and makeup and helping at charity events with a group known as KAG.

For the years 2000 through 2009 I was one of the main people working the charity jail at Gen Con in August.  Did that at least twice at ORIGINS as well.

The "Jail & Bail" was originally started as part of a Holiday that I created and encouraged.

For at least three years I helped out the US Marines in Indianapolis with the TOYS-FOR-TOTS charity by dressing up as a "Klingon Santa".

Because of all of the above - I seem to get recognized by many , many people. More than wI would have predicted years ago.

For a long time I enjoyed being a GM - then there was a really bad game session in 1997. Stopped gaming for a long time. Then because my job got me interested in it again I started a GURPS: TRAVELLER campaign groupo in April of 2004. That started a 4 to 5 year long campaign.  Haven't wanted to stop gaming since.

These days I'm more of a gamer than a "Klingon" or Star Trek fan.

Listen, I owe you from the thing with the guy in the place and I'll never forget it.

Hmm, lots of game designers coming out of the woodwork.

I'm Chris Carter (not the x-files guy...we come in six packs!). Just a gamer these days, though I did organize a local convention for awhile from 05-07 (local for me is Adelaide, South Australia).

I did write a couple of RPG books awhile back for Pisces All Media (the "Big Bang Comics RPG" (superhero) and "Edge of Midnight" a Pluto sourcebook) but neither of these were particularly good, largely since they had to be fully compatible with Pisces' in-house system. Never really got paid for them, either - it may be that they never sold any copies or it may just be the publisher - he appeared on a local current affairs program not long ago over a million-dollar reality TV show ("Starwalker") scam.

These days I work in data analysis for a media monitoring firm. Still doing patches of occasional game designing as a hobby, though I tend to have a short attention span and throw out a system after rewriting it from scratch half-a-dozen times. I'm happy to look at anything people are doing, though.
Gaming-wise, I tend to just run or play standard 3.5 D&D, though I have soft spots for lots of other systems.

I'm Dirk Collins. You'll find a much better more current bio available up on twitter at:

I'm a gamer these days, most often a GM, though I actually prefer to play.

Do have a few publishing creds including an original d20 nautical adventure Last Voyage of the Emerald Princess, published in 2001 with the now defunct Citizen Games, and the 2001 Tamerthya 25mm Adventure Tiles which featured over fifty floorplans for use with miniatures & RPGs. This was a precursor published prior to the WOTC Dungeon Tiles, and Oones Battlemaps.







I also was a member of the Rolemaster Investment Group that made a bid to save I.C.E. after Peter Fenlon declared bankruptcy (for the second time?) in 1999. We didn't succeed, and the IP was spirited away to England. Originally it was our intent to republish RoleMaster with an open gaming license so people could make supplemental Rolemaster games and adventures. That future was not to be.

Also served on the Pentacon gaming convention staff from 2002-2004 first as a publicity coordinator, and finally as the dealer coordinator.  

In 2002 also co-wrote the d20 Moderns Adventure Generator which is a Java-based app which will generate an entire adventure (in every genre conceivable), in less than 30 seconds. The adventure would span an entire session/evening (4-6 hours) for any party of up to level twenty. I also bootlegged a Spycraft variant which was (due to the closed nature of the Spycraft IP) never released to the general public.

Gaming is not a primary business focus for me anymore, As it is much, much, more profitable to work in the Internet Business Development / Information Technology field!. I do still enjoy playing and running games though, and currently maintain a game oriented website that supports RPGs and CRPGs.

Some of you might also know of my earlier gaming website that was hosted on Freeservers (It still is, just without all the high bandwidth graphics...):

Born with a steering wheel in my hand and lead in my foot, I am Danger! I'm a fuel-injected suicide machine! I am the rocker, I am the roller, I AM THE OUT-OF-CONTROLLER! I'm cruising at the speed of fright!

I am the chosen one, the mighty hand of vengeance sent down to strike the unroadworthy! I'm hotter than a rolling die! Step right up, chums, and watch the kid lay down a rubber road right to FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!

I prefer cruising at the speed of beer...

I was originally going to say I was one of the contributing editors to the F.A.T.A.L. game system, but figured the joke wouldn't go over well in these parts . . .

So no, I'm just Wheggi.  Not a gamer, just someone who likes playing Gygax's AD&D and writing silly shit for OSRIC.
