Douglas Sun has been, at various points in his adult life, a university English professor, a computer game producer, a newspaper book critic, a quiz show writer, a quiz show researcher, a quiz show contestant (his quietly humiliating defeat on Win Ben Stein's Money is no doubt archived somewhere) and a clerk in an eBay consignment store. Since the late 1990's, however, he has been a writer and game designer, working mostly in tabletop roleplaying games.
He has developed and/or authored over 30 tabletop roleplaying game products, many of which are available through Amazon Marketplace. They include books for Decipher's Star Trek and The Lord of the Rings roleplaying games and AEG's d20 mega-setting book, The World's Largest City. He was line developer of The Legend of the Five Rings Roleplaying Game, editing and co-writing all but one of the Third Edition supplements. One of the books that he developed, The Emerald Empire, was nominated for an Origins Award and remains one of the best-selling books in the game's long and prolific history.
He is currently a partner in digital game developer Bushi-go. In his oh-so-copious free time, he blogs about games and other forms of geekery at "'I Think We've Been Playing It Wrong.'"
