Davis Chenault
Davis was born way back during the 1960s, when free love and happiness reigned in a world seemingly without consequence. A product of a military upbringing he managed to jettison all the cultural baggage that bogged down the whole host of anyone who lived in that era. He wandered the trackless wastes of life spending precious hours trying to decide what to do with his precious hours, until he at last found a home amongst the dead, digging up the debris of other, long dead, people’s lives and examining and comparing their relative value to his own world. “Archeology,” Davis is known to have claimed, “is the well-spring of all my knowledge of social-drinking houses!”
After a decade of cultural anthropology Davis gave up the good life for gardening, in between which he designs and writes games for Troll Lord Games. His most notable achievements: Castles & Crusades and a cast iron out-door stove, acquired from his neighbor.
Mike Stewart
Born at the close of the 1960s, his formative years were spent in the great twin metropolitan centers of culture called Greenwood/Greenville Mississippi. Moving to Texas (as fast as he could), he has busily spent time earning college degrees in a vain attempt to avoid entering the real working world.
His last ditch attempt to avoid 9 to 5 work was to start writing for Troll Lord Games. A Contributing Author to the Castles & Crusades Players Handbook, Monsters & Treasures tome, and editing for Gary Gygax’s Castle Zagyg; as well as authoring the adventure modules U1 Shadows of the Halfling Hall and U3 Verdant Rage—not to mention columns for the Journal of the Crusader magazine. With these works, he fondly anticipates earning hundreds of dollars a year in the lucrative field of game design!
When Mike Stewart grows up, he wants to be a spaceman.
Stephen Chenault
Stephen was born into a world with a bewildering array of worthless "life choices" and meaningless "life options." As a youth, it was with great insight and eagerness he took to examining those options and pathways, promptly ridiculed them and dumped them into the wastebin that would become other’s lives. Stephen chose the path of brutal verbal assaults which, on occasion, lead to brutal physical rebuttals. Brittle teeth in hand, Stephen chose an academic path to lengthen what was about to become a shorter than average life span. He wasted years of his life pursuing a higher education in history before realizing that we all are, no matter what, doomed to repeat it.
Forsaking those noble causes rife in academia (such as bra burning, speech filtration, self-aggrandizement and longer summer breaks), Stephen foundered for mere moments before, in a dollar bill induced stupor, deciding to strike it rich by creating a company that sold games. He has since gone on to create such luminaries as the Codex of Erde and Troll Lord Game’s best selling adventure module, The Lion in Ropes. He is also well known for his curt phone conversations and one word emails.
