Jamie Wallis I
started role playing back in 1980. My younger brother, Toby, and I would spend hours playing Tunnels and Trolls (if I
could find enough d6). Back in 2002 I wrote, laid out and did the down loads for 8 d20 Fighting Fantasy coversions for Myriador Ltd. It was at Myriador that I worked with one of my all-time heroes and
favorite fantasy artists Martin Mckenna. When Myriador went pear-shaped I started up my own graphic design and type setting
company called Jaytype.com I specialised in the design and layout of books in the RPG industry. Over 3
years I designed and typeset over 80 books for the likes of Goodman Games, Hogshead Publishing, Cursed Empire and Steampower
Publishing.
My published, written works, includes 8 d20 Fighting fantasy adventures, Epic Adventure Game Book -
Vengeance (co-written with my good friend Ant Lavisher), QUERP Modern, QUERP Bestiary (co-written with my good friend Shane
Garvey) and QUERP - Gamesmaster's Companion. Every single Greywood Publishing book has a little of me in it somewhere
:)
Shane Garvey
Shane is a 27 year old Australian game designer. He has
been interested in all aspects of the gaming hobby since he was 10 years old, when a friend introduced him to fantasy gamebooks
such as Fighting Fantasy. Since then, he has never looked back. Shane has been involved in projects
such as the d20 conversions of the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks as well as numerous articles posted in online magazines. He
also hosted a successful community website (Emerald Night) for three years. The recently published QUERP: Quick Easy Roleplaying
is his first solo-published effort, but it won't be his last!
Phil
Thomas
Phil is another Australian game designer, in
his early 30’s, juggling a career in Recreation Programs, part-time study, two young kids and wonderful partner and
a fledgling RPG-design portfolio. He has been playing tabletop wargames and role-playing games for more than half his life.Phil
got involved with gaming back with the original Fighting Fantasy books and the original Blood Bowl, Heroquest and Space Crusade
games. He wishes he still had them. Many, many years later he was introduced to Dungeons and Dragons through Shane and the
release of 3rd Edition and since meeting his partner, Steph, has been playing a wide range of RPGs, from Shadowrun
and Exalted to Pokethulhu and Paranoia, finding something in every game that grabbed his imagination.
Phil was involved as a playtester in the Fighting Fantasy d20 conversions
and was given the chance to edit the later QUERP releases. When offered the chance to write (and be published), he jumped
at it. QUERP Modern - Heroes was his first release with the hopes of many more to come!
