The Game Designer of DIE, the award-winning game with RPG Magnifico, will be at Play.

Kieron Gillen is a writer, designer and recovering critic, based in Bath, UK. As a designer, he's best known for DIE RPG, which he developed alongside his and Stephanie Hans' horror-RPG comic, DIE. Alongside DIE, he's co-created books like The Wicked + the Divine, The Power Fantasy Once & Future and more. He's worked extensively at Marvel, writing most the characters you've heard of and quite a few you haven't. He hopes to play The Great Pendragon Campaign before he dies, but knows that's unlikely. He lives in hope.

DIE won the RPG Magnifico First Edition award and will be at Play together with Isola Illyon.
