Steve Perrin

Steve Perrin is a game designer and technical writer/editor.

Perrin is probably best known for creating the role-playing game "RuneQuest" for Chaosium. While at Chaosium he also created "Stormbringer", "Worlds of Wonder", "Elfquest", and "Superworld", and contributed to "Thieves' World" and "Call of Cthulhu". One of his first contributions to the world of RPGs was "The Perrin Conventions", a set of house rules for "Dungeons and Dragons", which lead to his work on Runequest.

He worked at Interplay Productions, Maxis, and Spectrum Holobyte, doing game design, playtesting, and writing manuals for such computer games as "", "SimCity 2000", and "Flight of the Intruder" to name but a few. He has also worked freelance for many of the major players in the games industry including TSR, FASA, Hero Games, West End Games, and Iron Crown Enterprises.

"Steve Perrin's Quest Rules" (SPQR) is the latest Steve Perrin role-playing game, which he sells independently through Chaos Limited. In 2004 he collaborated with Taldren on "Black 9 Ops" as a paper and pencil accompaniment to the company's "Black9" PC and XBoxgame, which fell afoul of developer-publisher friction and now looks to be unlikely to be published. Perrin decided to make "Black 9 Ops" available for free.

Perrin earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from San Francisco State University.
