Biography
Davis started playing Dungeons & Dragons in the mid-1970s, shortly after it was first imported into the United Kingdom.[1]
After leaving school he worked in the banking industry before studying for a Bachelor of Arts degree in archaeology at the University of Durham in 1979. He graduated in 1982 and started work towards a Doctor of Philosophy degree.
His first paid writing for the game was an article in Games Workshop’s White Dwarf magazine in 1982.[1] Many others followed, for White Dwarf and other magazines such as TSR, Inc.'s Imagine.
A job offer from Games Workshop in 1986 prompted Davis to leave university with his Ph.D. unfinished.[citation needed] However, his historical and archaeological knowledge and research skills have been put into use throughout his career with several firms and as a freelancer.[2]
He was one of the original designers of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.[3][4] Games Workshop spun Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay into a new subsidiary called Flame Publications in 1989, and Davis remained on staff at Flame.[5]
Davis published his first novel, Blood and Honor, book four in the Eberron The War-Torn series, in 2006.
Since 2009 Davis has been the line editor for Rogue Games' historical horror RPG Colonial Gothic, contributing to several titles in the line.
