David’s first published game was Armageddon. Co-designed with Chris Marling (from the
Cambridge Playtest UK group), It was published in 2016. David continued to design games, developing a close partnership with Trevor Benjamin, with whom he has co-designed the Undaunted series, War Chest, and its expansions, Orclympics, and the forthcoming Dire Alliance: Horror. In recent years he has also started partnering with Roger Tankersley, a co-worker and friend. They co-designed Sniper Elite, a forthcoming unannounced title, and — together with Trevor — have designed a game about the Spanish Maquis called Resist!
He will be bringing an early copy of Undaunted: Battle of Britain with him.
Over the years, Richard has written published scenarios for the role-playing game Call of Cthulhu and worked on several computer game designs in the late 1980s and early 1990s. These computer designs included Scavengers of the Mutant World and Star Legions, the 3rd game of the Star Fleet series.
In 1986, Richard’s original Arkham Horror board game design won the Origins HG Wells Best Science Fiction Board Game Award. In 2005 Richard teamed up with Kevin Wilson to redesign the Fantasy Flight Games publication of Arkham Horror and worked with Kevin and Fantasy Flight Games on several expansions. Since then, Richard has gone on to publish the epic fantasy cooperative game Defenders of the Realm with Eagle Games, as well as the Dragon and 3 Heroes expansions. Richard and Kevin Wilson teamed up again to design Elder Sign, another cooperative adventure game set in the mythos of H.P. Lovecraft published by FFG. Also among Richard’s more recent publications are; Season of the Witch, an expansion adventure for Mansions of Madness by FFG, and Dragon Rampage, a competitive fantasy game by Eagle Games. Other games in process of publication include Ace Detective, a story-telling game of Detective Noir in the 1940s from the 8th Summit Games. Defenders of the Realm: Battlefields, a strategic competitive fantasy battle game from Eagle Games, Pirates VS Dinosaurs, a swashbuckling adventure game from Jolly Rogers Games, and Run, Fight, or Die! a zombie dice game from Lock N Load, to name a few.
