Joseph A. McCullough's first brush with writing for games was as co-author of The Grey Mountains supplement for the Middle-Earth Role-Playing Game, and he has remained passionate about Fantasy gaming since, going on to become an award-winning game designer. He is the creator of the "Frostgrave Family" of skirmish wargames (the Fantasy titles Frostgrave, Ghost Archipelago, Rangers of Shadow Deep, and the Sci-Fi evolution, Stargrave) and of the Oathmark Fantasy battle game and The Silver Bayonet, a game of Napoleonic Gothic Horror. The latest information on his game design and other writing can be found at: josephamccullough.com. ªRU-MOR was born in Tarragona, Spain, and studied Fine Arts at the University of Seville, specialising in artwork restoration, before moving onto a professional career in sculpting miniatures. As a freelancer illustrator, her artwork has appeared in French museum exhibitions, Spanish RPGs and card games (such as Adventures in the East Mark, Walküre, and Epica: Dark Ages), and historical magazines, including Medieval Warfare and Desperta Ferro's Archaeology and History series, for which she also provides cover art. She has also worked with Osprey Games on a range of titles, including the Dracula's America and Frostgrave series. Shane Hensley is a writer, game designer, game store owner, publisher, novelist, computer game designer, business consultant, and entrepreneur.
He has served as a lead on massively multiplayer online games such as City of Heroes / City of Villains and was an Executive Producer on such titles as Cryptic Studios' Dungeons & Dragons: Neverwinter MMO RPG, Trion Worlds and Petroglyph's End of Nations, and an unannounced triple-A MMO from Daybreak. Shane was also the Studio Head for Dust Devil (Zombie Pirates video game) and even a Deadlands MMO RPG (the parent company unfortunately went under due to other projects).
Shane is best known for founding Pinnacle Entertainment Group, where he created Deadlands, The Great Rail Wars miniatures game, the Fields of Honor historical miniatures game, and the Savage Worlds game system. He has licensed his properties for television, books, comics, toys, and even other game systems. He is a frequent guest at conventions around the world and loves seeing the different way people play games in places such as Poland, Australia, Ireland, England, and more.
Shane currently lives in Chandler, Arizona, where he loves to run in the hottest part of the day (some say he is part-lizard) and play games with his wonderful wife, Michelle, and their two sons, Caden and Ronan. |
