Angus Owens
WAG's resident board game aficionado, Angus is always ready to roll some dice and strategize. He's a crack roleplayer, too, when he's not engrossed in a lengthy game of Spartacus or a nail-biting adventure of Arkham Horror.

Ken Seay
Even when he doesn't run many games at GenCon, Ken is active behind-the-scenes in helping us craft & play-test scenarios. His Cthulhu mastery and theatrical leanings have livened up many of our games, and he is a connoisseur of mythologies & mysticism. You're most likely to spot him at GenCon in the Cthulhu Masters Tournament or in a Cthulhu LARP, in costume of course.
