Guests of Honor


Stuart John Bernard - Stupendous Games

Stuart John Bernard is the owner of Stupendous Games. He jumped into the market with Beer: the card game, earning him the moniker “Hey, Beerman” at conventions everywhere. Last year saw the release of three Diplomacy © variants, one (Ard-Ri) designed by Stuart. Most recently he has brought us a new way to look at the state quarters, with “Too Many Georges”. This collectible coin game assigns powers to the different state quarters, each power used to help you reach the finish line before your opponents. With the US Mint releasing new quarters every year, be on the look out for new powers for “Too Many Georges”. Also, be on the look out for new Stupendous Games.


Jeff Colledge - Bard's Productions

Jeff Colledge, president and co-founder of Bard's Productions, has been playing DnD since the blue box (you know, the one with the cardboard chits for random number generation).  With the advent of the d20 Open Gaming License, he decided to put his gaming experience to good use and produce products that DMs have been asking for.  Bard's Productions first two products, Common Ground I - Instant Churches, Inns and Merchant and A Race for Retribution have received great reviews from DM's Haven, EN World and Mortality.Net as well as being listed must have gear in Gaming Frontiers Magazine.  Now if he can only teach his daughter to quit using d4's as caltrops.


Rob Lusk - Freelance Writer

A mad scientist by trade, Rob has written adventures for Pinnacle's Weird Wars and Deadlands, as well as a couple of chapters for Knuckleduster's Cowtown Creator. He is probably best known for having personally painted almost none of his thousands of gaming figures, and for killing off Greg Whalen's characters at an alarming rate. Rob has been role-playing since the mid-70's, when he tried a virtually unknown game (called Dungeons & Dragons) run by Gary Gygax at a convention.
