Speakers
Kenneth Hite Kenneth Hite has been a special guest at DunDraCon for many years, speaking about city building and villains and evil overlords for role-playing, what’s new at Pelgrane Press, and what’s currently “cool” in gaming. He is an award-winning writer and RPG designer with extensive books on the Cthulhu mythos, GURPS Infinite Worlds , Night’s Black Agents , and The Nazi Occult among his many published works. Ken and Dana will explore alternate histories.
Dana Lombardy Dana Lombardy began his game design career in 1972 when he started Simulations Design Corporation (SDC) in San Diego while he was still in college. He has worked on board games, card games, role-playing supplements, magazines, books, battlefield guides, videos, and educational exhibits. These hundreds of projects all required collaboration with other designers, historians, and artists. Dana will show his most recent games currently under development: Bloody Omaha – The Big Red One on D-Day and an augmented second edition of One-Page Bulge with fellow Hall of Fame designer Steve Jackson.
Grant Dalgliesh Grant Dalgliesh and his father Tom are Columbia Games, fixtures in the game industry for more than 50 years. Grant has been making games most of his life and is excited to attend DunDraCon for the first time. He will share fascinating details and the backstory about Columbia Games' HârnWorld RPG setting, now in hardcover format, and the block wargame series, especially the new Alliance multiplayer Napoleonic wargame and 50th anniversary edition of Columbia’s first block wargame Quebec 1759 . Look for Grant in the War College schedule and around the show.
