Mike “Malix” Nystul
Special Guest
Mike “Malix” Nystul is a teacher, storyteller, performer and game master who has been designing games since the earliest days of the hobby.
As a professional designer, he has worked in-house for TSR, FASA, and Mayfair Games on D&D, BattleTech, Shadowrun, DC Heroes, Chill, Underground, and Role Aids.
As a freelancer, he has worked for companies such as White Wolf, Steve Jackson Games, Hero Games, and West End Games on lines such as TORG, GURPS, Champions and Fantasy Hero. Under the banner of Pariah Press, he published The Whispering Vault, an offbeat horror game that has become a cult classic.
He is now self publishing as Nystul Game Forge. His first game under that imprint is NUkED, a post apocalyptic tabletop role playing game of “mutants, magic and mayhem in a world gone mad”. The rules are easy to learn and encourage fast moving, immersive play in a setting that is equal parts intense and irreverent.
