RPG Designer Greg Benage Makes Fiction Debut

As LA plunges into an occult gang war, mob sorceress Domino Riley must unravel a conspiracy that reaches beyond the magic-soaked mean streets into a world of myth and legend.

Former RPG designer and developer Greg Benage (DRAGONSTAR, MIDNIGHT, DAWNFORGE) makes his fiction debut with MOB RULES, written as Cameron Haley, coming September 1, 2010, from Luna Books.

MOB RULES (320 pp., tbp, $14.95) is an urban fantasy novel of murder and magic, betrayal and redemption set in the supernatural underworld of Los Angeles. Over a ten-year career in the hobby games industry (Biohazard Games, Fantasy Flight Games), Benage wrote and developed dozens of RPG games and supplements, including the ENnie Award-winning MIDNIGHT and DAWNFORGE campaign settings for the d20 System.

Diana Rowland, author of MARK OF THE DEMON, says of his debut effort, “MOB RULES is exciting and fresh, with a complex and conflicted heroine who grabs your attention and doesn’t let go. This book will make you fall in love with urban fantasy all over again!”

In its starred review of the novel, Publishers Weekly calls MOB RULES a “zippy debut” whose “fast pacing, pungent wit, surprise twists, thoughtful discussions of morality, and escalating, cinematic battles keep the pages turning.”

A ten-year veteran of the hobby games industry, Greg Benage (writing as Cameron Haley) holds down a day job as a senior product manager at a large commercial bank and lives with his wife in Minneapolis. A prequel to MOB RULES, the novella “Retribution,” will be published in October in HARVEST MOON, an anthology with NYT bestselling authors Mercedes Lackey and Michelle Sagara. Benage is hard at work on a sequel, SKELETON CREW, coming in 2011.

Congratulations, Greg.

I'll be keeping an eye out for this in Oz. Those three settings were some of the highlights of the d20/OGL era with Midnight being one of the best RPG products of all time, IMO.

Good luck to you.

I totally agree with the thoughts on Midnight being one of the best; we still play it in our group. As to your debut, congratulations and I'm totally looking forward to picking this up.
