	Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Game Designer's Workshop was originally a partnership, and later incorporated to become Game Designers' Workshop Inc. I was one of the junior partners, and a stockholder, eventually serving on the board of directors and as corporate secretary.
		While at GDW, I wrote, co-wrote, or edited over 30 game products, and served as designer, editor, developer, typesetter, business machine trouble-shooter, and was in charge of the office soda machine.
		After GDW went out of business in 1995, I went on unemployment for a short time and worked a succession of part-time jobs (including several seasons as a part time clerk for the IRS answering their 1-800-IRS-FORM number).

		Narvik (Game Designers Workshop) - reviewed by Rob Gibson "Narvik" is closely allied to those mammoth games on the dreaded Ostfront i.e.

		In the game of Asteroid, one player takes on the role of a "mad computer" which has taken over a mining colony on an asteroid and sent it flying towards the Earth.
		It's semi light-hearted inasmuch as the overall flavor and spirit of the game embraces all of the time-honored traditions of bad Sci-Fi movies.
		The tactics are fairly simple, although the rules are not particularly well organized and actually getting going was something of a stop and go affair as we jumped back and forth between different sections of the rules.

	Blue Max game review
		There was a magazine game called The Blue Max on the same subject, but it's a supplement to Aces High from 3W, a much more complex game not to my tastes at all.
