Career

Early career

Fox spent most of his career in advertising, working for WPP plc at VMLY&R, and began his career in game design on Strike To Stun (a popular destination for the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay community). Following his contributions to several fan-made supplements for WFRP, Fox began writing an Old School Revival manuscript for a new RPG based on Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. He later brought the book to Kickstarter, publishing ZWEIHÄNDER Grim & Perilous RPG in 2017.

Fox was a notable guest at Gen Con in 2018, and spoke as a keynote presenter on Twitch 2018, following ZWEIHÄNDER Grim & Perilous RPG winning Best Game and Product of the Year at the ENnies.

Fox later began running a games division at McMeel.[5] McMeel released Blackbirds in 2022, the first role-playing game to he "powered by Zweihänder", created by Ryan Verniere using the system created by Fox.[1] Fox created several additional tabletop games using the lore and mechanics of Zweihänder.[6]
