GDW Marc Miller,
Frank Chadwick,
Lester Smith, and Timothy Brown of
GDW designed the new game
Traveller: 2300 (1986) as an expansion of the original
Traveller role-playing game. Brown also designed the Gamer's Choice Award-winning
Star Cruiser board game. Brown served as editor of GDW's
Challenge magazine. Brown and Denning led the Dark Sun project, with the assistance of fiction editor Kirchoff, and artist
Brom soon joined them and helped to make Dark Sun world design more distinct from the other TSR settings, adding a new more artistic sensibility. Brown and Denning also put together the 1991
D&D "black box" set, which became a top-seller for TSR with half a million copies sold over the next six years. Brown contributed to the design of
Spellfire.
After TSR Brown later founded his company Destination Games and also worked with
Imperium Games. Destination Games produced
Chaos Progenitus dice game (1996) and
Pulp Dungeons: Uninvited Guests (1997) authored by
Gary Gygax. For the fourth edition of
Traveller published by Imperium Games in 1996, the designers each worked on separate portions of the rules, with Brown writing about aliens. Sweetpea Entertainment bought out the stock of the creators of
T4 and took charge of some of the day-to-day operations of Imperium; Brown took charge of the company guided by Sweetpea, and was the only remaining staff member of Imperium, with others working for the company as freelancers. Brown,
James Ward, Lester Smith,
John Danovich, and
Sean Everette founded the short-lived d20 publishing company
Fast Forward Entertainment (circa 2001–2005). Brown also contributed to the designs of
The Wheel of Time Collectible Card Game (1999) and the
Dragon Ball Z Collectible Card Game (2000). == Bibliography ==
