Hero Games Has A New Employee!

[Steve Long]

We're pleased to announce that after a long and diligent search, we've hired a new employee for the creative department here at Hero: Allen Thomas, author of the forthcoming Champions adventure Shades Of Black and one of the five authors of Champions Battlegrounds.

Allen's coming on board immediately, and we will be loading him down with work so that I can keep working on Fantasy Hero without interruption.

Our thanks go out to everyone who applied! We had a great group of applicants to choose from, making it a tough decision. Hopefully we'll be in a position to do it all again before too long.

Congrats Allen!

Way to go, Allen. Having read the Shades of Black manuscript, I know you'll do great work.

Good for you, Allen! We shall live our gaming-geek-makes-good fantasies through you.

Does Allen Thomas have an official title (or maybe an unofficial one)?

[Blue]

Nice work!

[sniffle] I'll be okay. Really.

We're still working on that. Assistant Editor doesn't describe the range of his possible duties or responsibilities, nor does Assistant Art Director (though he is sort of both of those.) I'm leaning towards Utility Infielder myself, but we've basically left it up to him to decide what goes on his business card. Any suggestions? dw

Congratulations Allen. It's nice to see Hero get an infusion of fresh meat, ur... new blood. :-)

In any event, I look forward to seeing more Hero goodness down the road from you.

How about Sixth Man. (Sorry this Hoosier who's moving to Duke and Tar Heel country has basketball on the mind.)

Well, Allen is part of Hero Games's creative department, and he assists Steve with writing and editing and Andy with art and layout, so my first thought is that "Creative Assistant" would sum up his duties pretty well.

Next time you hire someone, he can be promoted to "Senior Creative Assistant."

[Steve Long]

"Creative Assistant" doesn't sound quite right to me. I'm sort of leaning toward "Assistant Line Developer," since that sort of expands the scope of his work from just "editor."

Then again, he can call himself Fred if he wants, as long as he does good work in a timely manner.
