	Born in Hamburg, Germany, learned salesman, married with a wonderful wife, having two great children, now houseman and gamedesigener ;-) As with most of my class, playing started early. Right away with such great games as "Civilisation" and "Shogun". Of course, role-playing games were also totally mine; MERS, DSA, D&D and of course "Paranoia!", countless hours we put ourselves in foreign minds and worlds and dealt intensively with the most diverse challenges; it's a pity that this has gone out of fashion, we learned a lot from each other and from each other. Then you somehow reached an age where gambling had diminished a little - luckily never quite with us! - and out of the blue the "Settlers of Catan" appeared and suddenly everything in the world of board games was upside down. Even those who only knew "Kniffel", "Rumikub" and "Schattenhalma" were now tied to the board. At that time I started to change and extend existing games (the original Catan was of course much too small for me ;-)) and then to develop my own games, which always happened only for the circle of friends, because the games - from today's point of view - were unplayable. What has remained is our roleplaying project "Annor - Das Schwert von Esper", which emerged from a project week at school and is still alive today and is still being developed further by one of our comrades-in-arms from the very beginning.
