INTERVIEW 1 - RUSS NICHOLSON - PART 3 FFG: Did you yourself ever play role-playing games? No. FFG: Do you still play games for pleasure? If so what do you play? Rarely have time, but I like chess, scrabble and love backgammon (haven't played in years). FFG: What is your connection with Fantasy in particular or Steve Jackson or Ian Livingstone now? You'll have to be more precise. Steve (or his company) sent me a small royalty check a few months ago. Ian replied with a nice letter a good while ago when I was enquiring about work at Eidos. FFG: Do you keep in contact with any other FF artist, editor or writer? Not really. FFG: If you hadn't been an artist, what do you think you would have been? No idea. Did look at being an Artist's Agent at one point. I've worked as a teacher and lecturer for many years. FFG: What other books have you worked on? FORBIDDEN LANDS, Sorry, cannot recall all just of the top of my head. FFG: Do you enjoy reading? If you do and you get the time, what books are your favourites? Used to be a voracious reader. Rarely seem to have the time these days. Reading at present - last in the superb Niccolo series GEMINI, by Dorothy Dunnett (Big fan). Latest Flashman, first Harry Potter and soon will read latest Terry Prachatt. Several books on Art and Art theory and anything else which catches my eye. FFG: Whereabouts were you born, what year? Born in Glasgow, Scotland. Lived most of life in village of Dunning, before college, then after moved to England. This will have to do for the present. FFG: Cheers, Russ |
