His premiere album, Prelude, is his way of kicking down the doors of the music industry to let everyone know he’s arrived. Genre: Several musical styles all tied into a dark, industrial sound. This is the baby of: Brian Stewart aka DJversion666- Keyboards, Bass, Vocals, Beatmixing, Sacrilege Hometown: Brick Township, NJ Record Label: darkTunes Records Short Description: I am a former, studied musician who now sculpts sounds using an old Kurzweil K2000, a Fender Jazz fretless bass, some effects, and a peculiar imagination. Long Description: This page shares information about the latest original music and dj mixes (of other industrial artists) for your listening pleasure. Most of the original music is available for download, free of charge at either https://soundcloud.com/djversion666 or https://djversion666.bandcamp.com/ Bio: DJversion666 was originally a moniker used to poke fun at the ridiculous names DJs call themselves (DJversion666 is a dj, as well as a musician, after all). A few years ago, he started releasing his older, original works onto various media outlets which spawned a desire to write newer music. His love for the industrial sound is apparent in his creations. What started out as an outlet for the noises in his head, became a life of its own. Now, it sits and waits to pounce on every note that is fed into it. DJversion666 is a slave to his own creations. Personal Interests: I’m a computer junkie and a techno-whore. The first step is admitting it. I feel like a weight has been lifted.

Sullivan, and I’ve been working professionally in fantasy publishing as an author, artist, and editor since 1980. http://stephendsullivan.com/wordpress/, https://www.patreon.com/sdsullivan, https://www.amazon.com/Stephen-D.-Sullivan/e/B001HMMIYG/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1517714944&sr=8-1, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClpFpG-jmgJMQscBP7wsd2Q, https://www.facebook.com/StephenDSullivan ---- BIO: ---- I was a TSR editor and artist during the early days of Dungeons & Dragons, and I helped found Pacesetter Ltd., creators of CHILL and a bunch of other award-winning games. Over the years, I’ve written and created art for some of the best known properties in the world including Star Wars, The Simpsons, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Iron Man. For the past 25 years, I’ve been a freelancer most of the time (though I’ve occasionally taken a staff position to help pay the bills). I co-hosted Uncanny Radio — where I was known as “Manwolf” — with my friend Linda Godfrey, and nowadays I make occasional appearances on Vince Rotolo’s B-Movie Cast podcast. An ultra-brief version of my life story goes like this: I was born in 1959, grew up in Massachusetts, attended SMU (U. Mass, Dartmouth), and moved to Wisconsin to work on Dungeons & Dragons in 1980. I’ve been here ever since, writing stories, drawing, gaming, raising kids with my wife (whom I’ve been with since 1980 as well), and taking on miscellaneous strange projects – like Uncanny Radio and Time Wankers. I’ve had more than 50 books published (counting the anthologies and the ghost-written stuff only alluded to on this site) and written a boat-load of short stories. I’ve worked on more comics and games than I can easily count. Along the way, I’ve won some cool, prestigious awards. In my “spare” time, I also run a small publishing house, Walkabout Publishing. As always, I’m happy just to be making a living (if you can call it that), doing what I love.

University of Arizona. Kenneth Eugene St. Andre (born on April 28, 1947 in Ogden, Utah) is an American fantasy author and game designer, best known for his work with Tunnels & Trolls and Wasteland. He has been an active member of The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America since 1989. https://www.youtube.com/user/Gristlegrimmer, http://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/9559/Trollhalla-Press, https://www.metaarcade.com/, https://www.facebook.com/MetaArcade/, https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=trollhalla&tag=mh0b-20&index=aps&hvadid=77927890506690&hvqmt=p&hvbmt=bp&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_3gj45vjvwj_p, http://www.flyingbuffalo.com/, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/994700393/elven-lords-revisited-a-make-100-solo-adventure, http://www.rpgnow.com/browse.php?keywords=Ken+St.+Andre&author=&artist=&pfrom=&pto=&x=0&y=0, https://www.facebook.com/kenstandre ---- BIO: ---- Game design Ken St. Andre first saw the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game in April 1975, and after deciding that the rules did not make sense, so designed a simpler game of his own. St. Andre eventually called his game Tunnels & Trolls, and printed 100 copies of the first edition in 1975. He asked Rick Loomis of Flying Buffalo to take 40 copies to Origins that July to sell; when every copy sold, Flying Buffalo picked up the rights to T&T later that year and published a second edition under their own brand in December 1975. In addition to writing the game rules, Ken was one of the creators of solitaire adventures which allowed players to experience the game without a game master or judge. St. Andre has written many modules and stand-alone adventures for Tunnels and Trolls. St. Andre designed Starfaring, published by Flying Buffalo in 1976 as the first-ever science fiction roleplaying game. His third game, Monsters! Monsters!, was published by Metagaming Concepts in 1976, although Flying Buffalo got the rights to print a second edition in 1979. He also wrote the gamebooks Deathtrap Equalizer Dungeon and Naked Doom in 1977 after Loomis's own Buffalo Castle. He designed Chaosium's first licensed role-playing game, Stormbringer, in 1981. With Liz Danforth and Michael Stackpole, St. Andre designed the computer roleplaying game Wasteland, published by Interplay in 1988. Tunnels & Trolls was published in a new 5.5 edition in 2005 by Flying Buffalo, with new rules, background and variants by St. Andre. Fiery Dragon Productions published a heavily revised seventh edition in 2005, with revisions by St. Andre. St. Andre produced T&T adventures such as Hot Pursuit (2007). St. Andre continued to design T&T adventures for Flying Buffalo, including Khara Kang's Random Rainbow Maze (2010), Deep Delving (2011) and A Traveler's Tale (2011). In 2008, he modified the 7th edition Tunnels and Trolls to bring the game world into modern times and turned it into a superhero RPG called Power Trip. In 1986, Ken was also the first editor for a fan club newsletter based around the Adventure Construction Set video game, one of the rare cases of a professional designer leading gamer activities for another designer's game. St. Andre was chosen by vote as a "famous game designer" to be featured as the king of spades in Flying Buffalo's 2014 Famous Game Designers Playing Card Deck. My real claim to fame comes from having created TUNNELS AND TROLLS way back in 1975. Although it came out several months after the original Dungeons and Dragons, it was the first role-playing game in the U.S. to actually bear a copyright notice.
