Owen Kirker Clifford Stephens is an on-staff developer for Paizo, the Freeport and Pathfinder developer for Green Ronin Publishing, and the owner and publisher of Rogue Genius Games (with stores on DriveThruRPG, Open Gaming Store, Paizo.com, and Tabletop Library).
Born in 1970 in Norman, Oklahoma Owen was introduced to gaming by his uncle in 1979 and was instantly hooked. His first professional efforts were all accepted by publishers that went bankrupt before his work could be published. Perseverance eventually paid off, and now he has written for projects such as Star Wars Roleplaying Game Saga Edition, Black Company RPG, Wheel of Time RPG, Thieves’ World RPG, Dungeons & Dragons (four editions and counting!), The Guide to Absalom and other Pathfinder RPG books.
