About the Author

Adam Griffith has been role playing for 28 years and using the GURPS

system almost exclusively in the last 10. When not gaming, Adam works as a

research scientist in a lab specializing in cystic fibrosis. He lives in Bothell,

Washington, with his lovely wife, two cats, and his newly adopted son.

Bjoern-Erik Hartsfvang got his start in role playing in 1980 and GMed his first

campaign in 1982. He was introduced to GURPS in 1987 and began GMing in it

in 1988. Over the years, his biggest gripe has been that he has spent so much

time GMing that he hasn’t gotten to play as much as he would like, but now

that he’s “time-sharing” the GMing with Adam and Stuart, he’s now getting to

play about 66% of the time. YEAH!!! When he’s not gaming, Bjoern is a profes-

sional astrologer, freelance writer, and educator, and volunteers for waaaay

too many charitable organizations. Bjoern lives in Redmond, Washington,

with a dog, a cat, and a soul-mate.

Stuart J. Stuple got involved with gaming when Bjoern and he first were get-

ting to know each other over 15 years ago. He has a master’s degree in psy-

chology and thinks GURPS does a better job of describing human beings in

terms of their infinite variety of skills and personality than any textbook or

theory. Over the years, he’s come to appreciate the various forms of cam-

paigns (dungeon crawls, puzzle campaigns, heroic adventures) and to love

them all. Playing is like being in a book in which you get to play a character

you’ve crafted and contribute to the plot line; GMing is like crafting that over-

all story arc and making sure the plot advances. These days he spends most

of his time living and working in the software industry as a program manager

in Redmond, Washington.
