Who's Who?

Michael Fiegel (aka aeon) is the founder of aethereal FORGE and creator of Ninja Burger. If it involves words, and it involves the FORGE, chances are he's had his dirty little fingers in it somewhere. Michael's background is as varied as any you're likely to find, including: traditional print media (writing, editing and layout for newspapers, entertainment magazines, and news weeklies); broadcast media (radio copywriting and production, video scriptwriting and editing); advertising (print ad and catalog copywriting, ad layout and design, creative direction); and new media (website design, Internet marketing, online content). Lately he's been busy blowing away years of education by writing & designing RPGs for aethereal FORGE, and doing freelance writing and game design for companies like Adobe, MTV/AddictingGames.com, Turpitude Design, Perpetual Entertainment, R. Talsorian Games, Paizo, Eden Studios, Spectre Press and more.

Corey Mosher is the technical guru behind Biz-Fu.com (the host of all of aethereal FORGE's fine creations), creator of the Iconoclast project, and the reason that any of this stuff works at all. An experienced systems engineer, he's the glue that brings the worlds of art and technology together, simultaneously building a network of wires and of people and somehow making it all work. With a background in the Internet industry, Corey has helped design, build and maintain global networks and content distribution systems, always with an eye towards security, stability and maintainability. All of which means that when we build it, he can make for sure that it stays up for people to see it. Bonus.

Here are some of the other artists, designers, photographers and writers we've worked with in the past in various capacities (in alphabetical order):

Kenshiro Aette (a pseudonym) is a longtime team member and has devoted a metric ton of time toward nearly all of its projects. Co-creator of Ninja Burger and designer of the Ninja Burger logo, Kenshiro's other project credits include concept design, artwork, and writing for Iconoclast, Decay, and Power Grrrl. Though Kenshiro's career is currently leading him into ever-grayer segments of the military, he brings to the FORGE his talents as once-and-again professional photographer, graphic designer and artist in his spare time. He's also the only one of us who's a professional husband and father, which means he works harder than all of us put together.

Carlos "Z" Cruz is yet another artist, but we've got him busy working on Ninja Burger: The Role-Playing Game and Power Grrrl. For an idea of how he works, we paid him and he promptly went out and spent all his money on a ninja sword. How cool is that? He also needs to write his bio.

Emily Dresner-Thornber is a writer and game designer who helped write the original Ninja Burger comic strip. We're trying to get her to work on other stuff too but she has this thing called "a life." Oh yeah, and she writes for Netslaves and stuff too.

True daughter of Chaos, seamstress, font-geek, sci-fi/fantasy/romance novel junkie, and all-around pink-haired, black-clad goofy person, Jeni Pleskow is one of those people who works on fifty-billion things at once, simply because she's so easily distracted that there is no other way for her to work. She's currently working on designs for her upcoming clothing website, getting grumpy and updating her personal site, and fielding questions about just how on earth she got her hair that color.

Aaron Reynolds has a tiny little hole-in-the-wall custom photographic lab in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, where he spends his days doing exceptionally geeky things. He has been soaking up nasty chemicals in darkrooms since the age of seven, and been doing it for money since fourteen. While he still captures his images conventionally, the majority of his printing has moved to digital, though he makes a point of regularly returning to the darkroom to make enormous full-silver fibre-based prints.
