Ed Healy

Edward P. Healy is a game designer who has worked primarily on role-playing games. He co-founded Eden Studios.

Career George Vasilakos, Alex Jurkat, and investor Ed Healy announced on July 4, 1997 their formation of gaming company Eden Studios; they also obtained the rights to Conspiracy X to continue the line. Healy had suggested the name "Eden" because the group wanted to begin their paradise job. Healy was responsible for publishing All Flesh Must Be Eaten through Eden. Healy became friends with Edwards, and he joined the Gaming Outpost designer community. The owners of Gaming Outpost were looking for help with business development, so they asked Healy soon after he joined and he suggested starting a network of cobranded role-playing sites to feed into Gaming Outpost. Healy and Edwards used Hephastus' Forge to support independent game ownership and publication, rather than corporate ownership. Healey continued with the Hephaestus's Forge until 2001. He was one of the founders of the new iteration of "The Forge" in 2001.

Healy joined the United States Army after the September 11 attacks and was deployed in Iraq, but left the army four years later when he started a family. In 2010, he won a Gold ENNIE Award for Atomic Array.

Healy was one of the co-authors on the role-playing game supplement PC Pearls (2008) from Goodman Games.
