About Charles Dunwoody

Charles Dunwoody is not a robot and is willing to type tilted letters and numbers to prove it. He started playing and running RPGs with Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (before it was first edition) and is currently ten sessions in GMing Forbidden Lands. He wrote a few articles for Dragon Magazine when it was in print, wrote a bit more for Mongoose’s electronic Signs & Portents, and was paid for a supplement for Bulldogs! (d20 version) that was sadly never published and ran adventures for Bulldogs! at Gen Con. Currently, he ran demos of the Alien RPG for Free League at Gen Con 2019 and freelance writes for EN World and Geek Native. He also camps year round, backpacks, and canoes when not reading and writing. See, not a robot.
