Career

His debut, Vampire Hotel, was published in 2014, and was followed by Ancient Steel Horror the roleplaying game, Zombie Convention, Vampire Hunt and Vampire Hunter 101. Werewolf Therapy, and a collection of collaborations with Greg Stomberg and Logan Montgomery Knight. Teaching with Roleplay was one of his first major departures from the horror genre and one of the first publications to use roleplay in the classroom.[citation needed]

His first attempts in publishing were in 1991 after a gamer in his group, Dave Arneson, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, attended his regular roleplaying game sessions, and then giving his blessing on the original game Ancient Steel Role Playing Game. This gave way to a small print run of the game in 1992.[citation needed] He has more than 40 publications as of 2024.
