A designer for Wizards of the Coast who became lead developer for Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition in 2009 and Co-Designer of Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. Most fa/tg/uys would say he is batting .500 as Fourth is widely hated and Fifth appears to have achieved tentative acceptance on /tg/. He made a deal with Tzeentch to create the putrid Essentials line but everyone likes to pretend that dark time never happened. He also was the lead designer of The Book of Weeaboo Fightan Magic which in what appears to be a theme for his work produced a roughly 50/50 split of acceptance and RAGE among fa/tg/uys. This book was basically a predecessor to Fourth editions martial fighter philosophy so you can blame him for that too if you are so inclined. His stated design philosophy is inspired by Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and Advanced Dungeons & Dragons#AD.26D 2nd Edition which expressed itself in Fifth editions throwback feel. One might wonder why a lover of old school editions would desire to create Essentials but the ways of Chaos are not for mortals to know.
