Fredd has worked as a freelance illustrator for many different comic book and game companies. Some highlights are SwampThing, X-Men, Avengers, Superman, Steve Jackson Games, GURPS, Palladium, Fantasy Flight Games and others.

In 2012, Fredd started Steel Angel Studios with his wife Linda to promote and sell his artwork in prints, books and other items of interest.

Fredd is the long-time host of the Artist Jam at Krypton Comics. Its purpose is to promote Omaha’s creative community of artists and like-minded individuals. The Artist Jam occurs every third Saturday of the month from 12noon till 6pm and is free to all ages.

On top of all that, Fredd is the creator of our mascots Dunjin Diceroller, Magenta, and Max Damage, as well as our 3 new recruits. He has drawn the cover and t-shirt art for Nuke-Con since our first convention.

Nuke-Con is happy to welcome Shay Snow! They are an Indigenous editor, developer and tabletop writer. They are obsessed with fantasy and horror and the strange forces in our universe and in our plastic dice. Shay also works with Pathfinder and Starfinder, they are currently overseeing and the develop of “Year of Battle’s Spark”. When not working or writing, Shay enjoys gaming (both video and analog), as well as spending time with their spouse and two cats in their small town just outside of Seattle, Washington.

You can check out their other projects, including fiction and personal writings, at their website.

“I was born in Edina, Missouri at the old Gibson Hospital (which they closed not long afterward… coincidence?) and raised north of Hurdland, Missouri on a farm. I graduated from Knox County High School in 1983, and went to Northeast Missouri State University (now Truman State University) but after almost three years I entered the Air Force. My plan was to finish my degree after I got out, but I never went back, and I have no regrets.”

While his work is in various computer-related fields, his passion for games and for writing led to the creation of the Basic Fantasy Role-Playing Game rules in 2006 and the Iron Falcon Rules For Classic Fantasy Role-Playing in 2014, followed by several adventure modules and other supplements as well as a handful of less well-known works of fiction.

Chris makes occasional appearances at game conventions and other public game venues, and in 2024 worked with the Fall-Con Convention in Quincy, Illinois to create the Basic Fantasy Adventure Binge, a unique two-day event for almost thirty participants to play up to fourteen hours of Basic Fantasy RPG in a completely new, as-yet unreleased adventure series. This is expected to become an annual event, and the 2025 Adventure Binge is already under development.

Of course, you can find Chris on Facebook, Basic Fantasy Forum.
