David "Zeb" Cook Talks to Ten Ton Hammer

Jeff Woleslagle and Phil Comeau were thrilled to sit down and talk to Cheyenne Mountain's Lead Systems Designer David "Zeb" Cook. Better known for his role in the hit City of Villains and his written works based on pen-and-paper RPGs, his recent move to work on Stargate Worlds gave us a great opportunity to meet with him.

Hurry over to hear what exactly is planned thus far for Stargate Worlds and David "Zeb" Cook here.
