About Me

Meet Greg

Hello and welcome to my website . . . With Intent to Commit Horror.

My name is Greg Fisher but I also answer to the name Undead Rat — every once in a while one of my co-workers will call me Undead Rat or some variant of that name and I’m comfortable answering to it. I am the owner of this website.

By day I’m a librarian assistant in the Heights Libraries serving Cleveland Hts., and University Hts., Ohio. I’ve worked here since 1990. I was a charter member of the Readers’ Advisory Team Services (RATS) in 1993 and I’m still a RAT. It was this group that gave me the alias of Undead Rat because of my love of horror fiction.

My love of Role-Playing Games

I have been involved in pen and paper role playing games on and off since I was in the seventh grade — where we played Dungeons and Dragons from three pamphlets and a few months later from the new published Player’s Handbook.

I’ve played Dungeons and Dragons through edition 3.5 where I left off when having two children a little later in life than usual, took away any free time I had. I’ve looked at D&D 4 but I haven’t had an opportunity to play it yet.

I collected several Dungeons and Dragons campaign worlds including Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Dark Sun, Ravenloft (which I loved) and Planescape (which I loved even more).

However, I have played and enjoyed Shadowrun, Dream Park, Vampire: The Masquerade, and GURPs.

I’ve collected many that I never had an opportunity to play, including In Nomine, Kult, Amazing Engine, Alternity, d20 Modern, Little Dreams and the rest of the original line of Storyteller Series: Werewolf, Mage, Changeling and Wraith.

One of my favorite games that I wrote an adventure for but never got the chance to play was Bughunters, part of the Amazing Engine series. I actually tried to defy the one-shot game concept which the handbook said worked best for Bughunters and developed a character driven campaign which worked because of the nature of the Synners (player character “colonial marine types” who are actually enhanced clones)

Another game I wanted to play but could never fine any victims willing enough was Dark*Matter which was published in an Alternity and later a d20 Modern version.

I have to say that, with the exception of my first Dungeons and Dragons adventure, Shadowrun and games I played at game conventions, I was usually the game master.

About the Website

With this website I want to create a Dungeons and Dragons compatible campaign using the open d20 rules and also a d20 Modern variant of the same world. The world building that goes on here will be free for anyone who wants to use it in total or in pieces.

If you like the world, take it, use it, play with it, adapt it and make it your own. Tell me what you like and how you used it through comments and the contact page.

To support the blog and the time I invest in creating game product, I’ll also be offering role-playing game product — both pen and paper as well as electronic, through the use of affiliate links. Each time you use one of my links to make a purchase from an online store, you don’t pay any extra but a small percentage of the money goes to support me and this website.
