I'm Chris K., and I'm a 15mm addict...
When it comes to 15mm SF, I'm really still a young blood. I was pretty firmly entrenched in the Games Workshop camp until I discovered TMP and Mark Hannam's Dropship Horizon. So I took the plunge, and I've enjoyed miniature gaming more the last few years than I ever did with nearly 20 years of Games Workshop, Battletech, and some of the other "commercial" systems.
And since it was the 15mm community who helped me "see the light," I've tried to give back wherever I could. And somehow that has paid off for me... I certainly never expected that I'd be the one to eventually take over Dropship Horizon.
I dabble in just a bit of everything, when it comes right down to it. I've helped to playtest and develop at least a dozen rule systems now, dabbled in some 3d modeling (that never did pan out) and some graphic design work (which is almost an addictive sub-hobby in itself), and quite frankly, have been getting absolutely spoiled with review samples from the 15mm manufacturers.
But if I had to pick a single passion - it would be universe building. I love sitting down and creating timelines, system maps, faction names, and fictional histories. But I get really lost in the details - it's tough for me to take the step from "overview and traits of this large organization" to "these are the individual characters and their battles."
So I'm hoping this collaboration project gives me an outlet for my ideas, and lets them grow into something that the 15mm community can really enjoy.
