A friend of mine was always claiming that some of the NPCs in the Wizards Cabal were based on real life game designers, but would never come up with any specifics.

Well a quick google search reveals that Chris Dolunt is a game designer who has written game material for Pathfinder, Savage Worlds, Nyambe and other games.

Does anyone know what his connection to Blackmoor is? Just a fiend of the ZGG crew or something more :)

That *friend* was me, actually. :)

The current roster of the WC is based on the ZGG crew, including a certain "Veda Sonrean". About the historical characters, I am not sure. Does Dolunt work with Harley Stroh, or Ari Marmell?
That seems the safest track to follow.

I am not a good source for that. Best try contacting Tim Barth, or maybe Dawn Coakley.
They were among the founders of the MMRPG; they should know. :)

Thanks. :)

Jeff Quinn just confirmed to me that he wrote the NPC section of the Wizards Cabal and that he did use other ZGG staff/freelancers as inspiration for the characters. I will see if I can get him to reveal more.

In any case, I don't think they are meant to be exact representations of the real world people, just inspiration/homage. :)
