Well, I'm sitting here. I got into gaming back in the early 80s with Steve Jackson Games. I worked on Car Wars. I worked on GURPS. I was the guru for those two systems for a little while. We did Star Traders at that time. After that, I worked with FASA on Renegade Legion and MechWarrior. I did some D&D work for TSR. And then I started with Origin Systems just after Wing Commander 1 released, but I was, is it Secret Missions 1, and what were the add-ons to Wing Commander 1?

Secret Missions 1 and 2. And everything from there on out, including the Wing Commander movie. We did the Wing Commander movie book for that product. And after that, we did game guides for EverQuest, EverQuest 2, Asheron's Call, Dark Age of Camelot, Star Wars Galaxies. And then most recently I've been doing the Jump Points, the manuals, the brochures for Cloud Imperium.
