Connected as Matt Forbeck (2773 friends)

I've been a full-time writer and game designer since 1989. Game projects I've worked on have won 5 ENnies and been nominated for 28 Origins Awards and won 14. I've had 16 novels and countless stories published by traditional publishers, from Penguin and Del Rey to Games Workshop and Wizards of the Coast. My latest is CARPATHIA, from Angry Robot. I also write the Magic: The Gathering comic for IDW.

I live in Wisconsin with my wife and five kids, including a set of quadruplets. Visit Forbeck.com for all the details!
