I know him from Paranoia (RPG) and from Pax Britannica (boardgame) - great essay in that game on colonialism...

I know him as the designer of the (IMO wretched) d6 Star Wars game. I remember an article by him patting himself on the back for creating SW because the D&D/d20 system is "unsuited" to it. It is to laugh... I tried both editions of WEG SW in the hopes that one would do a decent job, but both were bungled IMO.

Also has a couple of interesting (hard to find) fantasy books out.

He also was the genius behind the Toon rpg.

Hey, it turns out I do own one of his games: Evolution.

Didn't Bill Slavisck [sp] have his name on the cover for that?

Greg Costikyan is also the author of some very entertaining light fantasy novels, including "Another Day, Another Dungeon," and "One Quest, Hold the Dragons."

I wonder if he will ever continue that particular series. Great gamer-fare.
