GAMERS AT HEART

Rone and Lou are the duo who produce the Iron GM tournament, which, for over 10 years has sought the greatest Game Masters and challenged them to improvise powerful adventures that captivate players.

For Iron GM Games they’re combining their meticulous study of these masterful techniques with their experience as ENnie award-winning game designers to deliver innovative games that blow your mind.

RONE BARTON

Rone Barton is an award-winning game designer and podcaster who lucked out in his teens when he sold his very first submission to Dragon Magazine back in the ‘80s. He went on to become a jack-of-all-trades: pet sitting service owner, public works contractor, professional music composer, and director and producer. Eventually he launched a full-time career in gaming. He is now the co-founder of Iron GM Games, co-producer of the Iron GM tournament, and the former Director of Communications for Lone Wolf Development.

LOU AGRESTA

Lou Agresta is a novelist, world traveler, and game designer who left corporate technology to start his first business in 1999. Prompted by an old friend, he attended an Indiana convention in 2004 that reignited his passion, and he’s been writing for roleplaying games ever since. He is known in the RPG industry for rescuing and delivering the five-time ENnie-nominated Razor Coast and for developing Heart of the Razor, its award-winning companion volume. His debut work of fiction, Club Anyone: A Novel of Love, Betrayal, and Augmented Reality is available today from Word Fire Press.
