He’ll be working with the graphics team in particular, but also our line editors and art directors," said Rick Meints. Nick has been involved with Chaosium since he was around 10 years old. His earliest “credits” for the company include playtesting Dragon Lords of Melnibone and the BRP 'Big Gold Book'. Nick began working for Chaosium in 2008, initially doing shipping and data entry, but from late 2011 has worked on layout for the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game line. He has been involved in the production of almost every Chaosium Call of Cthulhu publication ever since. Nick's work on the Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition Slipcase Set won a Gold Ennie Award in 2017.
