More About the Author

Testing, testing. Is this thing on?

*ahem*

Anyway, hi there and welcome to my Amazon.com page. I'm a writer and video game designer, currently residing in Durham, North Carolina and working for Red Storm Entertainment. Officially, my title is Central Clancy Writer, which means I work on many of the Tom Clancy licensed video games, as well as other titles like Might & Magic and Far Cry. In my professional capacity, I fulfill a variety of roles - script doctor, writer, designer, design manager - you name it.

By night, I write horror fiction. My first publication was a paper in the academic journal Lovecraft Studies, and since then I've had four novels, one novella, and a handful of short stories published. Most of what I right seems to fall into a sort of transplanted Southern Gothic, hence the name of my website - http://www.snowbirdgothic.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, worthy adversaries, June 3, 2004

This review is from: Subsidiaries: A Guide to Pentex (Werewolf: The Apocalypse) (Paperback)

This book is a summary of six of Pentex's most influential subsidiaries. Though a Werewolf the Apocalypse book, these Pentex companies can be used as antagonists or story hooks for any game in the World of Darkness. A lot of real-world research went into the making of this book. Nothing is over-the-top and the fact that these evil companies resemble so many real companies only makes the setting creepier. Well, the rpg company in the book is a spoof, but everything else was serious. The book deals with the business and operations of Pentex oil, pharmaceutical, alcohol, toy, video game, and rpg companies. This was a very good read and I encourage all White Wolf storyteller's to pick up this book. The antagonists here can be used against vampires, werewolves, wraiths, mages, hunters, and anything else the players decide to play. I enjoyed every section in the book. It would have been better if there were more companies listed for your enjoyment.

For any of White Wolf gaming this makes for great adversaries. Subtle yet wicked.
