Tim Bancroft

Tim's been a roleplayer since the mid 70's and now just enjoys running or playing tabletop Roleplaying Games as long as they are not too complicated. He believes that interesting backgrounds are useful not only to inspire the Games Master's imagination but also to give players an idea as to what to do with their characters; a background that constrains play though, by being too detailed, is a bane around everyone's neck. He hates never-ending dungeon- and information- crawls.

He's written for a variety of RPGs over the years and has even helped develop one or two - unsurprisingly, those with simpler/OGL rules. He occasionally releases products through Sceaptune Games, but is happy to write for anyone providing he doesn't have to do too much production work (not laziness, just physical constraints). He's playtested a variety of RPG and wargame rulesets, though he prefers board games to the latter.

Living in the Stonehenge telephone area code is a never-ending source of delight. In addition to a little knowledge of computers, history and theology, he also studies choral music, voice and spirituality in Winchester. If you want to be nice, buy him a curry, a bottle of good mead or port, or even invite him along to, or offer to come round to his place for, a RPG session.
