Jeff Quick

Senior Editor

Jeff Quick is on the streets. He’s asking the hard questions. He’s taking down names. He’s editing the blog. He’s got eyes like AI art. He’s seen this before.

He’s walking the perimeter. He’s running the numbers. He’s hot on the trail. He takes no for an answer, but he’ll be back later for his yes. Then he’ll have both answers.

He’s your best nightmare. He’s happy and he knows it. Clap your hands. He’s never coming back, but you can go with him. Don’t sleep on Jeff Quick.

Customer Service Representative

Hailing from the frozen, northern wastes of Toronto, Canada, Chris is Kobold Press’s Customer Service Representative. First coming to the Warrens in October of 2022, this is Chris’s first professional role in the gaming world. He is beyond excited to be working in an industry that he has been an enthusiastic participant in since he discovered his Dad’s original D&D ‘74 box set in the basement. The Forever GM of his little corner of the roleplaying world, Chris uses his spare time to write, create, and run adventures for both his friends and at a drop-in centre for street-involved youth. His greatest dream is finally getting to put down the GM binder and having someone else do all the prep.
