Developers
James Norbury
James conceived and designed Corporation from the ground up and produces a fair amount of the art.
His favourite Corporation is E.I. and hobbies include tabletop and video gaming and turning life's chaos into dice based systems. He also does some art. Ruth Norbury
Ruth has playtested Corporation since its infancy and is responsible for some of its more unusual characters. She also proofs most books and any mistakes found therein are normally a result of her corrections not being executed rather than oversights on her part.
Her favourite Corporation is E.I. and her hobbies include finding grammar errors and making amurgumi. She doesn't like finding them, its just when you've been proofing books for 6 months it gets the better of you. Visit her website here. Matthew Keevil (Evil Keevil)
Matthew has assisted with the play-testing and development of Corporation since the Eastern Bank. His no-nonsense attitude has been fundamental in keeping some of the more crazy ideas out of the supplements. One such item was James' pimped ammo casing which allowed players to spend thousands of credits to have their clips made of precious metals just to look flash. (2012 Update - these are going in, I've decided)
His favourite Corporation is Comoros and his hobbies include carousing, pedantry and plotting the downfall of western civilization. Hugo Marchant
Hugo has dutifully play-tested Corporation every week and assisted in developing and refining some of the ideas covered in the supplements.

Petroc Wilton
Petroc has lived in Hong Kong, Japan, Australia and the UK. He writes flavour text for the books, much of which is identifiable by its penetrating insights into the inner machinations of the Corporate world. His ability to take loosely defined concepts and bring them to life has done enormous amounts to add colour and depth to the game.
His favourite corporation is the Shi Yukiro and his hobbies include writing, using long words, violining and martial arts. At present he holds some impressive martial art belts but his diet of whisky and nougat pillows ensure he's too *@#ked to ever use them! Paul Arran
Paul has play-tested Corporation and contributed to the Eastern Bank. His interminable video game sessions with James have been a constant source of inspiration, without which, the game would be much less violent.
Paul's favourite Corporation is the Shi Yukiro and his hobbies include channeling an unquenchable fury at the peons under his command. He is pictured here thumbing through James' signed copy of the Warlock of Firetop Mountain. Jon Dore
Jon has done immense amounts of play-testing and done some work in Machines of War. He's also promising to work on a future supplement with us. More details when he's not got so much work on.
Jon's favourite Corporation is Comoros and his hobbies include gaming, driving around the UK and talking about sheet metal, in particular aluminium, which is a remarkably versatile building material. |
