Dave Chalker’s Summary
I have worked with several small game companies in a variety of capacities. I am an experienced tabletop game designer, tester, and workshopper. I have lectured at several Universities including the Rhode Island School of Design about game related topics. I maintain close connections to a number of game industry professionals and designers.
Additionally, I am editor-in-chief of a sucessful online pop-culture news and review site, Critical-Hits.com. I am well versed in many areas of pop culture.
I am always looking for more freelance work in the game, pop culture, or writing areas.
