	Ian Livingstone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ian Livingstone (born December 1949 in Prestbury, England) is an English fantasy author and entrepreneur.
		Livingstone founded Games Workshop in 1975 with flatmate Steve Jackson, and began distributing Dungeons and Dragons later that year.
		In the mid 1980s Livingstone did some design work for video game publisher Domark, and in 1993 he returned to the company, this time as a major investor and board member.

	Encyclopedia: Ian Livingstone
		Ian and Steve wanted to get the news to as many gamers as possible that a specialist fantasy games shop was soon to open.
		Thus 'White Dwarf' was born, a glossy magazine written by Ian (its Editor) and Steve and a few contributors.
		Ian checked his watch...yep, 8am - two hours before they were even meant to open.

	Biography - PART 4
		With some regret, Ian and Steve decided that their little magazine after 25 issues, though popular, would have to go.
		Ian and Steve were determined not to let Games Workshop become 'just another shop'.
		The increasing use of fantasy miniatures in D&D prompted Ian and Steve to invest in a new division of Games Workshop as importing large quantities of metal miniatures was proving too costly.

		Ian also hinted that were I to bring out a few of the games reviewed in this very magazine and more importantly, explain how to play them (he hates reading rulebooks), then my presence would be doubly welcome.
		Ian is quick to distinguish between his own personal taste and what makes commercial sense for Workshop.
		Ian declines to comment in detail as he was not personally involved with the decision to publish, and is not familiar enough with the Workshop game to throw any light on the subject.

		Livingstone is something of the archetypal profiteer, having led British games publishing for the last seven years.
		Livingstone: Well, I'm sure [Microsoft] is going to address Japan as a separate issue, but Xbox has been more successful in its launch in America than it has in Europe.
		Livingstone: Yeah, well, we've done it and we can't reveal the reasons why in hard cash terms, but there were strong commercial reasons to go exclusive with Sony.

	Ian Livingstone
		Preparing my review for the much underrated game Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter (see Review), I was overwhelmed by the music played in the intro of this game and then, even before starting the game, I had to check the manual looking who is responsible for that music.
		Now, with the talents of Ian Livingstone, we'll be a Bounty Hunter, travel the Seven Seas as Sinbad, fight as Tau in the Warhammer40k Universe or help Buffy to fight the evil.
		Hello Ian, thank you very much for the time and the chance to speak with you about your music.

		Ian Livingstone opened the scoring with a good strike.
		We shouldn't really have had a penalty, the rules state that the consequence of the goalkeeper throwing out over arm is a direct free kick that shall be taken 6 feet outside the area.
		The referee was a bit pedantic giving a free kick and forcing Ian to change shirts when playing outfield for the last 30 seconds of the game, as he was wearing a slightly different shade of green keeper top.

		I won't comment on the main part of the book, except to say that anyone reading the book will find the RPG market vastly different today than it was 18 years ago.

	Biography - PART 1
		Eidos is unique amongst games publishers in that their Chairman, Ian Livingstone is a true gamer at heart, and has held a fascination with gaming for over 30 years.
		Having moved down to London from Manchester in 1973 at the age of 23, Ian worked in the office of an oil company as a Marketing Assistant.
		Badly paid, he was just another face in the crowd, trapped in the monotonous cog of young working life, bored, despondent, and utterly frustrated by not being able to control his own destiny.

	Amazon.co.uk: Forest of Doom (Fighting Fantasy Gamebook 8): Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The one good aspect about Forest of Doom is that by setting it in the open air of a forest Livingstone has manages to break away from the 'dungeon quest' format of the first two books, but in almost every other aspect the book is weak.
		Firstly it's far too easy (this one took me only 5 attempts to complete), most of the options are limited to using a certain magical item or not, and the book lacks the multiple red herrings and opportunities for sudden death that made The Citadel of Chaos so tough to complete.
		Being Ian's first solo attempt at a FF book, it is original, exciting and interesting.

	Ian Livingstone at Binary Bonsai
		One of those guys - Ian Livingstone - also helped distribute the very first Dungeons and Dragons in Europe.
		There's a lot more to be said about this guy, but if you've ever played Games Workshop games or just plain old roleplaying games, you certainly owe a good deal to Ian Livingstone.
		Now the interesting thing is that he also helped start Eidos Interactive back in the early 90's, and today he and a whole swath of other bigwigs visited Io (since Io is now officially an Eidos subsidiary).

		Ms Tessa Jowell, MP for Dulwich and West Norwood, and Minister for Employment, as lead signatory, comments that "you appear to be reneging on the undertakings you have previously given" to hold a community forum.
		She notes that last May Ian Livingstone expressed his commitment to such a forum.
