Rob Daviau and Isaac Childress are two giants in the board gaming community, and in some ways they couldn’t be more different. Rob Daviau started at Hasbro in 1998 as a writer for Trivial Pursuit and Taboo. He has had his hand in designing games like Star Wars: The Queen’s Gambit, Betrayal at House on the Hill, Fireball Island, Heroscape, and Risk 2210 A.D. He also practically created a new genre when he designed Risk Legacy and assisted with both seasons of Pandemic Legacy, Ultimate Werewolf Legacy, and Betrayal Legacy. Isaac’s tenure started in 2015 with Forge War. He took the world by storm with Gloomhaven, leading to a large number of Game of the Year awards. Now these two are designing the upcoming Return to Dark Tower from Restoration Games. Listen to them describe how they collaborate and how Return to Dark Tower is coming together.
While not working as a Database Administrator, Keith Schleicher has been associated with Gaming Trend since 2003. While his love of video games started with the Telestar Alpha (a pong console with four different games), he trule started playing video games when he received the ill-fated TI-99/4A. While the Speech Synthesizer seemed to be the height of gaming, eventually a 286 AT computer running at 8/12 Hz and a CGA monitor would be his outlet for a while. Eventually he’d graduate to 386, 486, Pentium, and Athlon systems, building some of those systems while doing some hardware reviews and attending Comdex. With the release of the Dreamcast that started his conversion to the console world. Since then he has acquired an NES, SNES, PS2, PS3, PSP, GBA-SP, DS, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One S, Gamecube, Wii, Switch, and Oculus Quest 2. While not playing video games he enjoys bowling, reading, playing board games, listening to music, and watching movies and TV. He originally hails from Wisconsin but is now living in Michigan with his wife and sons.
