| Gary Astleford Writer/Editor Fairfax, VA Freelance Writer/Game Designer
I've been a professional writer/game designer in the gaming industry since 2003. In the time since I started this strange journey, I've had more than twenty titles published by companies such as Wizards of the Coast, Green Ronin, Black Industries, Fantasy Flight Games, and The Game Mechanics. Currently, I work full-time as a content developer for EA Mythic in Fairfax, Virginia.
