My name is Justin Achilli and I’m a game designer, developer, author, and a variety of other things. My wife also calls me a nerd, but the joke’s on her, since she married me. I work at CCP Games, and was at White Wolf before the merger. If you care to check out my pedigree, it's here.

Whether you’re familiar with my earliest work on games or you’re new to the projects I'm working on, I’m glad to have you here. Since you’ve stopped by, it means that you’re at least somewhat interested in my antics, and if you leave here having learned or confirmed only one thing, it’s that people like me love attention.

The interests here at my site are pretty broad. I'm a father, gamer, writer, DJ, drunkard, cad, and other sundry things, so my journal entries run the gamut from speculation to editorial to completely tangential. I hope it entertains or provokes thought.
