Dave McAlister

Dave has been roleplaying for over 25 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 freelance appointment (co-writing World Militaries and consulting on both US Militaries and Battlegrounds, all for Spycraft).
