Clay Chiment

I started out as a Cloudmaker (my daughter’s name is Laia but it was my husband’s idea, I swear!). I was a Puppetmaster for both LockJaw and Project Mu Metacortechs and am still a member of the Karetao team, dreaming of feeding my ARG addiction in whatever way possible. I’m a reference librarian by training and an anthropologist by degree (though I worked for a few years in graphic design) and I have high hopes of getting back into the ARG community in a more active way now that my personal munchkin is sleeping through the night!

Mark Heggen

I am a graphic designer and media theorist who is currently working on a masters degree in graphic design with a focus on user-created content, collaborative narratives, and ARGs. I am currently PMing a small-scale ARG, and hope to utilize additional games as research tools in my education. My plan is to become a full time game designer, and further my investigations into contemporary applications of hypertext theory.
