Ritchie? - aldarron - 02-14-2010 David James Ritchie is mentioned a lot in regards to his collaboration with Dave Arneson for TSR. Doing a web search I see he also authored some wargames in the early '80's and co authored Dragonquest. Beyond that, not much to be found. So who is David Ritchie? Why was he the one who was choosen to work with Arneson? What is his story? Anybody know? - Havard - 02-14-2010 Good question. I tried contacting him a few years ago, but no luck. IIRC Bruce Heard was product manager for the DA series, so he might know something... Havard - Havard - 02-15-2010 Frank Mentzer described him like this: Quote:He was a hard-core wargamer before he (and his wife Deb) joined us at TSR; try SPI game design/editing credits.
