Who is Valent Games?

Valent Games, legally speaking, is Colin Fredericks. However, it is more accurately a group of friends who work together on long-term gaming projects. Some of us are more involved than others, and some of us take long breaks, so we're not always all here. But then again, we're not always all there, either.

Check out our products' title pages to see who wrote and illustrated, them, or just drop us a line. We're friendly folks.

Colin Fredericks Colin Fredericks is a freelance professor in Physics at the moment. He hopes to move to a good graduate school soon so that he can get his PhD and stop being freelance. He enjoys role-playing games (duh), decent anime, rock-climbing (see picture on right), building sets for the RPI Playhouse, helping out at WRPI (his college radio station), comic books, playing in the snow, and the occasional camping trip. Colin currently lives in Troy, NY. He wrote Console, and the skill section of Valence, as well as putting up the money to have the game published.

Kate Tapley Kate Tapley is a writer (she hasn't been published yet, but she's not an "aspiring writer" as that would mean that she hasn't written anything but plans to). She's written a lot, and wants to someday get paid for it. When she's not writing a lot, she's reading a lot, drawing a lot, talking about her little sister a lot (cutest kid the the whole world) and basking in the hotness of her hot husband, Eric.
