Greetings fellow ENworldites!!!

A friend and I were discussing our favorite game designers over the telephone this evening and I wondered what happened to some of my favorites. So does anyone know where such talent as Aaron Allston, Roger Moore, Carl Sargent and Rick Swan went? The last I heard of Rick Swan was when he was with Inquest Magazine.

Thanks for your help,

Son of Thunder

You mean he's not making another Bond movie?

I believe Aaron Allston was one of those mentioned in the d20/gaming industry thread as having quit the industry.

Why yes, I believe he is. It's called "The Bond Point of View." <-- old 1e/Dragon joke that some may not get.

Info on Aaron's work can be found at his website www.aaronallston.com.

In addition, Aaron will be doing the new Champions genre sourcebook for Hero Games. which is expected some time this summer.

Aaron Allston wrote some novels, including some best-selling Star Wars books (IIRC, he wrote some of the X-wing books). He's also writing Hero 5e's Champions genre book, due out (again, IIRC) in August.


Yeah, check out Hero Games' website:

And of course, at the end of the month I get the Champions manuscript from Aaron Allston. I’ve already finished the parts of the book I’m writing (the sample characters), so I hope to turn the manuscript around pretty quickly and get it into layout ASAP. The sooner we can get it into your hands, the better we like it.

So Aaron's at least temporarily back in the RPG industry.

Scott - I thought Rodger Moore isn't interested in doing d20 work?


Carl Sargent is a psychologist. Check the archives of rec.games.frp.dnd. I think he might have had a nervous breakdown or something. But I'm NOT sure.

i loved rick swan's reviews in dragon in the nineties. it would be cool if he were to re-emerge in some way.
