[QUOTE="Azul, post: 2510466, member: 11779"] Gene Marcil Game system designer (or rather lead game system designer) - Silhouette system (Dream Pod 9), I pretty much handled the bulk of all the game mechanics design and writing on the 1st edition of Silhouette that was part of the Heavy Gear game (the system has evolved under the guidance of my old editor M.-A. Vezina) - yeah the wacky dice mechanics were my idea Major writing credits (i.e. I was a major conributor to these): Heavy Gear rulebook (primarily mechanics but a little flavour text too) Terra Nova sourcebook Southern Republic Army List Additional writing credits (i.e. I only wrote a small portion): Dream Pod 9 products Pretty much every Dream Pod 9 product that uses the Silhouette game system (credited as Silhouette design or something like that) - so my name appears in Tribe 8, Jovian Chronicles and Gear Krieg if I recall correctly. I haven't worked for DP9 since 1996 really but since my rules keep getting reused/referenced, I keep getting writing credits. I think I also had a writing credit or two in Mecha Press (published by Ianus Publications, the predecessor of DP9) but I can't really recall which (if any) of my writing tidbits saw light in that magazine before it stopped production and the company split in to (creating DP9 and the publishers of Protoculture Addicts). Battletech (FASA at the time): Tech readout 3057 one other one I think (Invading Clans sourcebook maybe?) E.N. World Publishing/Ambient Inc.: Three Arrows for the King (one prestige class) I've got a few minor non-gaming publications, most of which are government reports and documents (not all are credited since it isn't always appropriate). Most of my involvement in the game industry was during the early-mid 90s. I quit writing to go to law school. Hellhound let me have a little fun when he accepted my submission a few years ago but other than that I'm pretty much retired as an author. It's fun to do but it doesn't pay my mortgage very well.
