In the late 90's, Chris wrote "Challenge of Arms" and "Ritual of the Golden Eyes" (generic RPG adventure kits) with Gary Gygax, which led to the two of them forming Hekaforge Productions. Lejendary Adventures followed and Chris was deeply involved in this project and authored many rules supplements and adventures in support of the game, which even today has a fan following. In 2010, Chris revised both Fuzzy Heroes and War PIGs, and in 2011 joined Eldritch Enterprises and published Forest of Deceit, Strange Allies, Reign of Terror and Dark Visitor (with Jim Ward). Chris also had fiction published in the short story anthology Heroes and Magic. Besides EE, Chris is still running Inner City Games Designs, which is one of the oldest (if not THE oldest) independent game companies still around from the early 80s.
