Rob Boyle
Robert Boyle is a game designer who has worked primarily on role-playing games. Career Rob Boyle had been an editor at FASA during its waning days, and decided not to go over to WizKids when the new company was forming, as he knew that they would not be working on FASA's roleplaying lines. Boyle considered making a bid to license ''Shadowrun'', but before he could, Fantasy Productions expressed interest in ''Shadowrun'' themselves. Fantasy Productions founder Werner Fuchs invited Boyle to visit him in Germany, and Boyle was soon setting up and running FanPro LLC, a new corporation created by two of the principals of the Fantasy Productions and Boyle himself.

Game Designer
Game design is the art of applying design and aesthetics to create a game for entertainment or for educational, exercise, or experimental purposes. Increasingly, elements and principles of game design are also applied to other interactions, in the form of gamification. Game designer and developer Robert Zubek defines game design by breaking it down into its elements, which he says are the following: * Gameplay, which is the interaction between the player and the mechanics and systems * Mechanics and systems, which are the rules and objects in the game * Player experience, which is how users feel when they're playing the game Games such as board games, card games, dice games, casino games, role-playing games, sports, video games, war games, or simulation games benefit from the principles of game design. Academically, game design is part of game studies, while game theory studies strategic decision making (primarily in non-game situations). Games have historically inspired ...
