The Team

Steve

Steve’s imagination has been the inspiration for all of Outrider Studios’ titles to date. He’s the principal author of Edge, Remnants, and Warbirds, who revives classic literary themes to unique and engaging settings. Steve believes that while creating heart pounding stories is up to the GM, the best way for a publisher to help is by crafting a fascinating milieu which can be used to springboard his or her own story. Steve’s Rapidfire System is indicative of how he likes to play. Dice rolling comes second to story and no crunchy rules ever stand in opposition to his vision of fluid gaming. You can see Steve’s personal interests reflected in his work. Remnants were buried in time through his love for robot anime, Edge from his respect for the faith and steel of the medieval era, and Warbirds from his own immersion in the world of fighter planes as a Captain and Air Weapons Controller in the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Cameron

Cameron’s interest in storytelling started early. At six years old, he was quietly jotting in a notebook as big as his torso in a restaurant. When the waitress asked him what he was doing, he had nothing to hide and told the waitress “I’m writing a novel.” Nowadays, Cameron works in new media as a Writer, Web Producer, Marketer, and Game Designer who tries to push the boundaries of existing mediums to tell stories that really matter. Drama is conflict, meant to “entertain and inform” and it is only by climbing the high walls of adversity that people can affect any worthwhile change. Good drama can make a better world. As an editor, writer, game designer, and strategist for Outrider, Cameron uses his creativity  to help us grow as a company and as creators. In his free time (little of it), Cameron crafts screenplays, TV pilots, moonlights on the web, and dreams up new ways to tell stories using anything with a screen or page, all while supporting a healthy Star Wars addiction.
