About the author

Born in 1959 in Cambridge, Mass,

Started writing on a professional level in 1985 with two articles in Dragon Magazine, put out by TSR Inc.

Hit my stride between 1987-1997, writing for TSR, West End Games, Mayfair Games, Flying Buffalo, FASA, KenzerCo, and Wizards of the Coast.

I backed away from gaming writing and focused more on magazine articles, computer game reviews, and the like.

More recently, I've been doing freelance blogging for valuable cash prizes, as well as work for the revival of TORG (TORG: Eternity).

I live in Nashua NH with my wife. We have four kids and four cats.

Cute little 1-on-1 adventure for classic D&D. For a modern audience, there's some fights that are clearly not level appropriate, but there's friendly NPCs to convince to tag along which should soften the blow a bit.

A really interesting idea for an adventure, especially as it's intended as a solo experience. It'll be a little more challenging to adapt for a party than the other Thunder Rift adventures, but I'm looking forward to doing so.
