About the Author
Andre Kruppa has been steadily running role-playing games since 1979, which means he brings more than thirty-five years of experience to the table. His theatrical training includes many years of lighting design and hands-on production electrics work for professional and community theaters, where he also has spent a lot of time in the booth running lights and sound. A resident of Maine, Andre heads off to the woods for a long, peaceful camping trip as far from civilization as possible at least once a year (and preferably more!). Perhaps inspired by the tenebrous depths of the primeval forest, he returns to produce a variety of dark and gritty gaming experiences for convention role-playing, primarily in the cosmic horror genre. Using both his own material and scenarios designed by others, he is known for ramping up his games with elaborate theatrical lighting, sound effects, music, and props. Andre’s love of gaming and his commitment to fostering high-production-value, immersive role-playing drives him to refine his approach incrementally year after year. He plans on doing this for a good long time.
