I'm proud to say I once met Douglas Adams at a book signing of his in Madison, WI many years ago. I had him sign my leather bound copy of Hitchhikers Guide...

My nick name has been KD since I was in grade school many moons ago(over 40 years). Which is the letters of my first and last names. Back in 1996 I started writing Gamemaker on all my games just to keep my hopes up I think, anyway to pump myself up I promised my self ( since no one else was in the room at the time) that I would'nt use that title until I had two game out and on toy store shelfs. I cheated alittle, been using it since I signed my first game, but when 2nd game is in stores I will use it for all (e-mail-etc;)

When I was really into playing Magic, I met Dan Frazier (one of the M:tG artists). He was showing some art work he had done for the upcoming Ice Age expansion, and one of the cards was "Pentacle of the Ice Mage." It sounded cool, so I nabbed it. Yep, that's me - original thinker and all that. Anyway, the card later got renamed to Pentagram of the Ages for printing, but I kept on using theicemage. I even have www.theicemage.com for my various interests. :-)

nickname origin
My nickname comes from a late night of gaming.
One night way too past tired, I tried to tell a fellow gamer
he was my mortal enemy and he was my super enemy at the same time.
Out came Smortal.
The name stuck and I started my game company out of it.
Soon to be final playtesting is a new racing card game called smortal racing.
Sometimes it just happens!! We just don't know how!!

Mine comes from an utter lack of originality, combined with a desire to see my name in as many places as humanly possible.

Angel is an anagram for my first name Galen. I am the son of Richard, therefore, Richardson. Maybe some of you were hoping for me to be a young beautiful blonde, but I am an old bald man of 51 years. I am impressed with this site and the people here. It is an honor to be in the company of so many capable and interesting minds.
