Dave was introduced to D&D in 1981, founded a LARP club at school in 1987, and has never stopped playing games. He has previously been a LARP weapon maker, a learning support adviser, a web designer, a leatherworker, and a sign maker. In 2015, Dave decided to try being a boardgame designer. Empirical evidence showed that this would undoubtedly result in his death from starvation, so he became a publisher instead.
