His varied career includes college professor and dean, teacher, corporate executive, writer, editor, anthologist, and game designer.

He was one of the players in early Dungeons & Dragons games using photocopied prototypes of the rules handed out by Gary Gygax. As a founder of Mayfair Games, he won several of that industry’s highest honors, the Charles Roberts Award. Perhaps the best-known of his game designs is Empire Builder.
