CareerLawrence Whitaker had worked on Chaosium fanzines.[1]{{rp|430}} Whitaker worked with RuneQuest's Basic Role-Playing system on Chaosium's Eternal Champion games in the 1990s.[1]{{rp|399}} In 2007, Whitaker was brought in to Mongoose Publishing, where he became the author of their fourth RuneQuest setting, Elric of Melniboné (2007).[1]{{rp|399}} Whitaker was able to take a hand in the authorship of many critical books in Mongoose's RuneQuest line, mainly spread across their universal, Second Age and Elric lines.[1]{{rp|399}} Whitaker and Pete Nash decided to revamp Mongoose's RuneQuest game and thus they released RuneQuest II.[1]{{rp|399}} Whitaker decided to leave Mongoose later in 2010 after a four-year run with the company.[1]{{rp|402}} After Mongoose's license to RuneQuest expired, Mongoose kept the game in print under the title Legend. Meanwhile, Whitaker and Nash formed a company, The Design Mechanism, to pick up the RuneQuest license and publish a sixth edition of the game in 2012. That edition remained in print until 2016, when it was retitled Mythras. Whitaker has also worked for Alephtar Games.[1]{{rp|430}} References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{Cite book|author=Shannon Appelcline|title=Designers & Dragons|publisher=Mongoose Publishing|year=2011| isbn= 978-1-907702-58-7}} External links
