Involved with 24 hour rpg project, and Game Chef. I’m working on several projects, which you can find on my website.

I became disillusioned with mainstream role-playing games some time ago after too many piss poor games of D&D.

So I’ve written my own games and blow me down if they aren’t bloody good.

Come see some shoestring indie-rpg publishing at its best.

When not working on RPG design, John composes music for his experimental music project kristal marimba lounge and writes lyrics for the ridiculously huge project known as Interr'bang Cartel. He also occasionally does tech support.

In college, Steve (thanks to specialty game stores, which simply do not exist in the wilds of Western Kentucky) was introduced to other games: Vampire, GURPS, Over The Edge, Shadowrun, TORG, and Gods only know what else. Eventually, Steve started designing his own game system–a complicated, nearly unplayable mess known as Anyworlds. At the same time, he started toying with the idea of a simple, quick and dirty system for use in pick-up games, mainly because he was tired of spending two hours creating a character that would only be used once.

In the late 199s, Steve, his old college pal Leighton Connor, and mystical being Dale French decided to put together a cheaply-produced game, the profits of which would be used to produce ever bigger-and-better RPGs and comics. The three formed a company called Hex Games and started developing Steve’s simple system (dubbed QAGS), which they guessed would take about a week to produce.

One year later (in 1998), Leighton and Steve (they’d lost Dale somewhere along the way) released the 64-page, digest-sized, black & white QAGS first edition, which was greeted by the gaming public with overwhelming apathy. Seven years, ten products, thousands of dollars, uncounted conventions, and fifty or so “staff” members later, Steve, Leighton, and a handful of true believers still release the occasional game book.

In addition to co-authoring both the 1st and 2nd editions of QAGS, Steve has written Spooky: The Definitive Guide to Horror Gaming, Paradise, and parts of M-Force: Monster Hunting in the 21st Century. He has also had a hand (as contributing author, cartographer, editor, consultant, or cheerleader) in most other Hex projects. The first RPG from Steve’s personal imprint, Fuquit Games, was Reaper Madness, a 24 Hour RPG released earlier this year.

Steve is currently working on a number of projects, including Colin Thomas Presents RASSLIN’, Fort High, QERTH, The Official Groovin’ Zed and the Roller Kings Tour Book, Fratboys Vs., M-Force Deluxe Edition, and Haunted Hollywood. At least a few of these are set for release later this year, and the rest will be completed well before the heat death of the universe.

Reaper Madness: A game about dead people and the (both dead and living) people who have to deal with them.

Charles was born in Brockville, Ontario but moved to Toronto as soon as he was old enough to… be 18. He found out about 1km1kt when the links to the RPGs on the 24 Hour RPG became different and scary. Currently, Charles is in college for comedy, which is the second biggest waste of money course in the world (the first being “Golf Management”).

Projects

In addition to working on his pet RPG Dojos and Dragons (www.djnd.com) Charles still finds to time to churn out crap (see the 24 Hour RPG SPAM). Pray that the second edition of SPAM he was talked into writing never sees the light of day.

He is a formally-trained Illustrator as well as the writer of comic books and role-playing games. This of course does mean that he makes painfully little money through his chosen career path, a negative that he must overcome with supplimenal money earned from his job at a 24-hour adult emporium.

The “P” in Michael P. O’Sullivan stands for Patrick. Yes, he is very Irish. Michael is currently working on a complete, print version of Criminal Element, with a projected release date of July 25. He is also busy working on his first professional comic book work, both writing and doing artwork for Diver, an original graphic novel due for release in late 25 theough Michael’s own publishing venture, Fullmotor Books. He will be releasing a much more completed version of the Operation in the next month or two as he feels guilty for having an incomplete game taking up space on other peoples’ websites.

Those interrested can go to Michael’s website: Fullmotor:Center for updates on his comic and gaming projects as well as more autobiographical material written in third-person perspective.

I often post on the net as “Kiz”, which happens to be short for “Kizarvexius” but is easier to spell.

• 24 Hour RPG Project – Young Gods of Old Egypt
• I also submitted a setting for StickGuy called SuperStick!.
• I’m a moderator on the RPG-create mailing list, I’ve written a few other homebrew RPGs that are up on my homepage and I’ve put up a gallery of my recent works at http://www.kizandjenn.com/art/gallery.

  Oh, and for folks who like MUDs, I’ve made numerous contributions to both Darker Realms (an old text LP-MUD) and Wyvern (a much fancier, Java-based graphical MUD).

OK FINE.

I write stuff. I have a lot of stuff going on in my head at any one time, and I never have enough time to get it out. Plot Device is the site where I am currently putting some of the stuff from my head so other people can see it. I wish I had more time to put more stuff in there, but I am too busy doing stuff to do that too much, so it ends up disorganized and marginally complete.

I am interested in everything. It is a curse.

I have written reviews for rpg.net on all the 24 hour rpgs that were posted for the 23 and 24 great event. It was fun, but time consuming.

That’ll do, pig. That’ll do.

That describes him pretty well. When not wearing the student cap as a Philosophy Major at Oneonta State in NY, he enjoys bicycling, reading, writing, gaming, and making excuses for the fact that he hasn’t practiced bass guitar or inline skating.

He currently brings home the bacon working in Web Development and Desktop Support. In the past he has worked as a horse-drawn carriage driver and tour guide, an international telephone operator, a janitor, retail clerk and supervisor, McDs closing manager, and ordained minister.

24 Hour RPG – Grand Guignol game

Chris was born in the late 7′s (and to dispel the rumor – NOT the early 5′s) to the horror of a nation. He stands over seven feet tall and can eat a whole watermelon in one sitting. In stark contrast, he occupies comparatively little space to you or I. It is this efficiency that separates him from the animals. Chris defies an exact place of birth because I’ve never bothered to ask him. How would he know for sure anyway?

We do know that he was raised in Texas and dubbed it the Lone Star state shortly after his favorite holiday – The Day After Christmas. Chris has been with 1KM1KT since the beginning and maintains a steady vigil as lead-copywriter and protector of the innocent. Without his contributions we would surely be short one writer.

Currently, Chris is doing an unnamed service for his country in the foreign nation of Bangladesh, where he spends his time privately voicing concerns about the rainy season. Chris is known as the king behind the king, and sometimes the king to the immediate left of the king.

He makes no bones about anything.

A decorated writer, Chris has been published by such outstanding organizations as White Wolf , Privateer Press, Dream Pod Nine, and Majestic 12 Games. His contributions to 1KM1KT include the monthly column Off My Shelf as well as StickGuy the Roleplaying Game and a variety of Spycraft supplements.

He is an avid member of RPG.net and Warfoundry.com where his posts are repeatedly replied to.

When asked where he wanted to be in ten years, Chris said:

“I want to move the professional basketball season to the summer. Have it start right after March Madness and continue on into the summer and early parts of the Fall. Right now, all we got during the summer is baseball and (ungh) NASCAR… so it will not be competing for the attention of the public as much as it does now (against Football, College Basketball, College Football, and Hockey). If you move basketball into the summer you have more access to the arena (since you are not competing with hockey games) as well as a general public that has less sports to watch. Plus, basketball is a summer sport… it makes sense.”

Which we found a little confusing.

Anywho, Chris – we like you. Thank you for being here.

StickGuy, the Roleplaying Game

Inspired by a rotting copy of an RPG and hobby mail order catalog, he spent many hours designing dungeons and making his first pseduo-rpg at the age of 6, trying to figure out how to format a good looking document in an old ratty typewriter in his room.

Years later, after killing his once perfect eyesight with a Commodore 64 and acquiring his first “real” RPG, a box set of Star Frontiers, Jay took his first baby steps to being a game designer. Realizing that his rules were crap compared to TSR’s sci-fi game, Jay became a system junkie, scavenging ideas for game rules from any possible sources.

Aside from trying to be more than an amateur game designer, Jay also writes, tossing most of his stories into Fiction Press and wondering when he’ll be able to make a game that would finally introduce Roleplaying games into the Mindshare of Philippine Pop Culture.

Jay’s mind is usually accessible through the web through The Secret Files of the Pointyman
