Dave has been roleplaying for nearly 30 years, having played and/or run most mainstream systems with the espionage genre being an early favourite. So much so that, in 1999, he started Modus Operandi. That same year he joined the Sarbreenar “Living” campaign team as their plotline controller before moving across to the Living Spycraft campaign team (as UK Regional Branch Director) in 2003. 2003 also saw the birth of UK Role Players as well as Dave’s first (and, so far, only) freelance appointment (co-writing World Militaries and consulting on both US Militaries and Battlegrounds, all for Spycraft). Since then, Dave has concentrated on supporting the UK gaming scene. He has organised and run several small, one-day, events and was the RPG Area Manager for Gen Con UK in 2004. He is currently the webmaster for the Conception and Con-Quest conventions as well as, of course, UK Role Players.

Owner of Sceaptune Games, Tim has been roleplaying for well over 35 years, which makes him feel really old now he’s read the bios above. He’s forgotten how many RPGs he’s played, but nowadays prefers them somewhat simpler he once might have preferred, mainly because he’d much rather play than spend time reading yet another set of rules. His name is splattered around RPG and wargames magazines and rulesets, as a writer and playtester, and he’s also interested in board games. If you want a game and you’re near Winchester or Stonehenge, get in touch as he plays far too little. And yes, like the other administrators, he’s undoubtedly a geek.
