Darrin Drader, Designer

Darrin Drader was born in Pullman Washington in 1973, and eventually went to college at WSU there as well. Its no wonder that a town known for wheat fields, cows, higher education, and rampant inebriation would turn out a creative mind like Darrin's. Reading and being heavily influenced by Tolkien at an early age, he later developed a love for Dragonlance, the Belgariad, and the many books by R.A. Salvatore. Darrin was introduced to Dungeons & Dragons at the age of 11, and he's been a gamer ever since.

Darrin has lived in Western Washington for the past 6 years, and among other things, has sold computers and managed a retail store. Today Darrin is thrilled to be an employee of Wizards of the Coast and he lives outside of Tacoma Washington with his wife, daughter, feline friend Tabitha and the canine personality Arial. He has a love of '90s "grunge" rock, techno, anything U2, Babylon 5, and That '70s Show. He has done design work for Asgard Online Magazine, D20 Weekly Online Magazine, Dragon magazine, Star Wars Gamer magazine, Dark Portal Games, Wizards of the Coast, and Bastion Press. He has also gone on to be a regular contributor to the Oathbound Campaign setting and is thrilled to be working with the talented team at Bastion Press. He is currently co-authoring an upcoming book with Greg Dent for Oathbound which will be released in 2003.
