Studio Head Obsidian. Worked on Outer Worlds, Fallouts, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, PS: Torment, Neverwinter Nights, KotOR 2, South Park, Pillars of Eternity
I was incredibly shocked and saddened this morning to hear about Robert. He gave a small studio a chance to make something great and I will be forever in his debt. His dedication to the industry, his family, and to Bethesda is something we should each strive for every day.
We are deeply saddened to tell you of the passing of Robert A. Altman, our Founder and CEO. He was a true visionary, friend, and believer in the spirit of people and the power of what they could accomplish together. He was an extraordinary leader, and an even better human being.
Just realized, I just tuned 52, which means right about 26 years ago, I got the opportunity to run
@BlackIsleStudio
and ended up working on
@Fallout
and
@BaldursGate
with the great people at Black Isle and
@bioware
. What an amazing ride.
I have a horrible confession to make. It's one of my darkest. It's really embarrassing. I'm really sorry
@remedygames
, I just started playing Alan Wake for the first time thanks to the
@EpicGames
store.
I've resisted posting pictures of our dog, but this one deserves it. Her name is Tempi, short for Temperance. Yep, named for the character on

I was privileged to meet Stan 32ish years ago at a small, local comic book club. Thank you for being extremely gracious to that nerdy kid who didn't really appreciate until decades later your incredibly positive impact on our world.
One of my oldest friends in the game industry is on to a new adventure. If you don't know James, he's responsible for the Baldurs Gate series, Knights of of the Old Republic, and many more.
The most fun I've ever had at BioWare was as the lead designer on Baldur's Gate 1+2 and NWN. I've been a D&D fanatic since I was 10 years old and I want to be a part of it again. Please visit to see what I'm talking about.

Explaining how we came to make
@Fallout
New Vegas. We created
@Fallout
, I killed the 3rd one, Interplay killed a new 3rd one, we found
@Obsidian
, Bethesda buys Fallout. Bethesda makes Fallout 3. Bethesda hires us to make New Vegas. Voila!
Great boardgame store and cafe in Vegas at
@Meeplevillecafe
. Thanks for all the help while we were in there! 2,600 games you can play while you're there at a bunch of booths and tables.
Been a while since I've listened to the Sisters of Mercy. I probably don't want to think what year it was when I bought the CD the week it came out at the Wherehouse at

After the first show this evening, I had a massive heart attack. The Doctor who saved my life told me I had 100% blockage of my LAD artery (aka “the Widow-Maker”). If I hadn’t canceled show 2 to go to the hospital, I would’ve died tonight. But for now, I’m still above ground!
Having a lot of fun with this
@CivGame
like android app. You have 30 turns to score the most points based on your civilization. I've got 30k, people much smarter than me have hit 200k+.
