Wren Brown
Contact Wren
My name is Wren Brown, and I have been playing and running Roleplaying Games since grade school, which is about 40 years now. Mostly I have played Dungeons & Dragons and later Pathfinder, but I have tried many other systems at least a few times. I also enjoy board games and especially tabletop miniatures games.
Professionally I am a computer programmer and analyst, and since December 2000, I have worked at a major food distribution company. I live in Denver, Colorado.
I have been a fan of Paizo and Pathfinder since Wizards of the Coast released 4th Edition D&D, and I found it was not the game for me. I went looking for alternatives, and I found Paizo still releasing OGL products. I have been an enthusiastic player and GM of Pathfinder ever since.
Around January 2015, I was fortunate enough to make the Top 16 in Paizo’s RPG Superstar 2015 contest. Participating in that contest was a great learning experience and has spurred my interest in roleplaying game design. In April 2015, I began writing and publishing 3rd Party material for Pathfinder under the Name Rusted Iron Games using the Open Game License and Pathfinder Compatibility license.
Rusted Iron Games is producing RPG titles compatible with Pathfinder 1st or 2nd Editions. We are also working on producing titles compatible with Starfinder and the SRD 5.0. Below is a list of the R.I.G. titles, plus the other RPG titles I have worked on for other companies.
