Having run from several mu*s, Criseyde decided after 8 years to make an experimental sandbox with friend Rowan. Cris is a wizard at a resource MUSH, has published and lectured on using virtual environments in classroom settings, has taught literature in network-based classrooms, and has served as world designer, marketing manager, technical product manager and product marketing manager for several startups.

Cris' first computer arrived in 1986 (in time for university) and Cris spent way too much time with Diplomacy, Traveller, and roleplaying on BBSes when not tabletop gaming. During a tabletop hiatus, and coinciding with arrival in a graduate program where there was a computers & writing laboratory, Cris soon ended up in mu*-based environments in 1991 (thanks Maire), and has been there ever since (thanks Rowan and Tori).
