Dennis Detwiller

Dennis Detwiller (born July 12, 1972) is a Canadian video game designer for Hothead Games and a role-playing game designer, writer, and artist.

Career Dennis Detwiller started volunteering at Pagan Publishing after seeing an issue of The Unspeakable Oath magazine in 1991 and talking to John Scott Tynes. Tynes moved the company to Seattle in the mid-1990s, and Detwiller agreed to move there as well. Detwiller wrote a series of three chapbooks (1998–2000), and with Tynes and Glancy he expanded the setting in 1999 with Delta Green: Countdown.

Detwiller and Greg Stolze prepared their game Godlike which was intended to be published by Pagan Publishing, but as publication by Pagan was slowing down, Detwiller instead took it to his friends Hsin Chen and Aron Anderson, who created the company Hawthorn Hobgoblynn Press (later known as EOS Press) in 2001 to publish the game. Detwiller and Ivey formed Arc Dream Publishing to produce supplements for Godlike, and in 2003 Arc Dream acquired the licensing from Stolze to use his One-Roll Engine (ORE) dice system for Godlike.

In 2002, he left Seattle for Vancouver to work with Radical Entertainment In early 2009, he left Radical Entertainment for Hothead Games. In January 2016, he moved to Monte Cook Games as managing editor.
