About the Authors

Bill Slavicsek began playing the D UNGEONS & D RAGONS roleplaying game with

his friends during his formative teenage years in New York City. This was in

1977, the same year that Star Wars and Terry Brooks’s The Sword of Shannara

debuted. This trilogy of epic fantasy combined with comic books and horror

novels to forever influence Bill’s outlook on life and entertainment. In 1986,

Bill’s hobby became his career when he joined the staff of West End Games.

There, as an editor and game designer, Bill worked on a number of board

games and roleplaying games, including Ghostbusters , Paranoia , Star Wars:

The Roleplaying Game , and Torg: Roleplaying the Possibility Wars . Later, Bill

went on to use his vast knowledge of the Star Wars films and associated

extensions to write two editions of A Guide to the Star Wars Universe for

Lucasfilm, Ltd. (published by Del Rey Books).

1n 1993, Bill joined the staff of TSR, Inc., then publishers of the D UNGEONS &

D RAGONS game lines, as a game designer and editor. His design credits for the

company include the Alternity Science Fiction Game (which he co-designed

with Richard Baker), the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game , the d20 Star Wars

Roleplaying Game , the Star Wars Miniatures Game , Urban Arcana , Council of

Wyrms , and the E BERRON Campaign Setting .

Since 1997, Bill has been the R&D Director for Roleplaying Games, Book

Publishing, and D&D Games for Wizards of the Coast, Inc., the company that

now publishes all D UNGEONS & D RAGONS novels and game products. He oversaw

the creation of the d20 Roleplaying Game System and the latest editions of

the D UNGEONS & D RAGONS game. Bill leads a talented staff of game designers,

developers, and editors who produce award-winning game products for

D UNGEONS & D RAGONS and other d20 System game lines, including roleplaying

game supplements and accessories, adventures and campaign books, and

prepainted plastic miniatures. He lives with his wife Michele, their cat Pooh,

and more comics, toys, and books than he knows what to do with — and

that’s okay by him.

Richard Baker is an award-winning game designer and a best-selling author.

He’s worked on the D UNGEONS & D RAGONS game lines since 1991. Rich traces his

D&D experience back to 1979, when he began playing the D UNGEONS & D RAGONS

game as a 7th-grader. He spent a significant amount of his high school and

college years playing D&D at every opportunity, and after serving as a sur-

face warfare officer in the United States Navy, Rich decided to take a shot at

working on the game he grew up playing — and so he joined the staff of TSR,

Inc., and became a game designer.
