Biography

Nigel Findley was born in Venezuela in 1959 to Canadian parents, and lived in Spain, Nigeria, the United States, and England before moving with his family to Vancouver in 1969.[1]

He got his start as a role-playing game author in the mid 1980s during his business career. By 1990 he had become a full-time writer, and had authored or coauthored over one hundred books, and twelve novels.[1] He wrote for many game companies, including TSR, and for FASA's Shadowrun supplements and fiction.[1] Findley's adventure The Universal Brotherhood (1990) for Shadowrun was well received.[2] He got his start writing for Dungeons & Dragons, and won a 1992 Origins Award for GURPS Illuminati.[3] In 1994 he was inducted into the Origins Awards Hall of Fame.[4]

His body of work also included supplements for Mayfair's Roleaids line, Wizards of the Coast's The Primal Order, West End Games, and White Wolf Publishing. He is credited with parts of the design of Greyhawk Adventures and Fate of Istus, and wrote the whole of Greyspace. He was also part of the original core of Shadowrun RPG writers and designers, and has sole writing credit on both sourcebooks and Shadowrun world novels.

Findley died at home on February 19, 1995, in Vancouver, British Columbia,[1] at the age of 35 from a sudden heart attack.[5]

Legacy

The Nigel D. Findley Memorial Award was awarded for best role-playing product of the year between 1995 and 2001. The first winner of the award was the Castle Falkenstein role-playing game, while the last documented winner was The Lord of the Rings Trading Card Game.[6]
