Emily used to write for pen-and-paper RPGs (Steve Jackson Games, Guardians of Order, White Wolf). She disappeared into the AAA Game Industry for a while to "build an MMO" because "it sounded like fun." Then she wandered out and now writes about applying modern economic principles to very un-modern murder hobo and magic slinging wizard banker infested worlds. During the day she does crazy computer things. She has a husband, a child, and a small orange dog named for Arthur Schopenhauer. She reads history, politics, economics, and philosophy for fun.
