Redmond, WA (April 11, 2012) — Super Genius Games (SGG) is proud to announce the addition of a new Genius to the team! Starting immediately John D. Halpin will be the Interactive Statistics Coordinator (or "Code Monkey") for SGG. John has worked as a software developer and analyst for six years followed by becoming the manager of a software organization for eight years. His efforts have led to a patent titled "Protection of code or data from exposure by use of code injection service." His professional interests include cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and informatics. John is recognized as a subject matter expert in technology protection and has a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Rowan University.
In addition to having amazing technical experience, John has been an avid gamer since 1980. He has played all editions of Dungeons & Dragons, Paladium ‘s Heroes Unlimited, White Wolf's Storyteller system, Pathfinder, FASA's Star Trek, The One Ring, the Hero System, Everway, Shadowrun, Talislanta, Tunnels and Trolls, GURPs, and Feng Shui as well as a number of independent unpublished games. He enjoys computer role-playing games including Dragon Age, Final Fantasy, ChronoTrigger, and Dragon Warrior. He plays many board games and card games, including the Lord of the Rings Card game. John is also an avid collector of games, having a library of over 5000 roleplaying games.
"We couldn't be happier to be adding someone to the team who combines John's technical expertise with his love of gaming," said Owen K.C. Stephens, Lead Developer of SGG. "We want to take advantage of a lot of the great technology out there to help gamers get better experiences with their tabletop games. Not only can John guide us to that goal, he also has real interest in promoting gaming in general. We expect to get a lot of us out of John's creativity and enthusiasm, in addition to his computer skills."
Super Genius Games is committed to providing more options for patrons to acquire and use our game material. Over the upcoming weeks John will work his cyber-magic, and soon Pathfinder fans can expect to find classic SGG material available as Hero Lab files.
"I really just want to help make the great material Super Genius creates even better," said John about his new position. "Also, I'm looking forward to hanging out with the other Geniuses at cons!"

Awesome! Now to get hero lab!
John's first work for us is the HL file in the revised Genius Guide to the Vanguard!
Actually John has a couple of things he'd written for us earlier in development -- this is just the first thing to see daylight. :D

Greetings everyone!
I want to Thank Owen, Stan! and Hyrum for the kind words and welcome!
Welcome my new nemesis! *maniacal laugh*
Seriously though, welcome to the third party publisher pool.
You really ought to upgrade to a suite in the design dungeon.
Remember, some inmates in the design dungeon are more equal than other inmates. ;)
Oh sure, I'm grinding on plots to destroy you all for two and a half years, then we get a new guy and HE gets to be your nemesis in, like 12 hours? Whose nemesis am I, then?
Ekhar Lorrent: Gnome Detective!
Welcome my new nemesis! *maniacal laugh*Oh sure, I'm grinding on plots to destroy you all for two and a half years, then we get a new guy and HE gets to be your nemesis in, like 12 hours? Whose nemesis am I, then?
S'just not fair...
Apparently, somebody's been watching too much Phineas and Ferb...
Welcome to our newest SuperGenius!
Oh sure, I'm grinding on plots to destroy you all for two and a half years, then we get a new guy and HE gets to be your nemesis in, like 12 hours? Whose nemesis am I, then?
You will always be my #1 nemesis Owen. There is a special place in my cold koboldic heart just for you. You are the Captain Hammer to my Dr. Horrible. The Buffy to my Spike. The Klingon to my Tribble.
I did misspeak. John, being your underling is merely the hunchman to my nemesis. I'll let Stan! and Hyrum fight over who is Willow and Xander, but John is the Dawn of your group.
Niblet.

As my man Gene Simmons of Kiss once said ...
"Kiss is like a sports car. The four of us are all in the same car, and we're all heading to the same place. It's just that some of us are in the front seat and some are in the back seat ... and someone has to be the driver"

Dibs on Xander!
Ummm .... wait a minute .... John? As in the John from Dan's Wedding, John?
Holy S***! Forget me calling you the Niblet. Didn't realize it was you.

Oh Yes Dale, I am THAT John!
You suddenly realize I am the Faith of the group eh?
:)
I thrive in the darkness that is my design dungeon cell...
So ... if John is Faith and Hyrum is Xander, does that mean that Hyrum and John ... You know what, I don't want to know.
;) :p
