Matt Colville

BOZ pinged me on this. The issue I've come across is confirming his early work history with secondary sources. All of the exact dates come from Colville's LinkedIn (which I think you can cite per WP:BLPSPS especially if you can confirm the work history actually occurred with other sources):

  • "He actually worked for Wizards of the Coast for about six minutes back in 2000 before jumping ship to join Pandemic Studios on the Mercenaries team".[1]
  • Refers to Colville as a Writer on Evolve [4]
  • Colville refers to Turtle Rock Studios as his "home since 2011" on in a post on his website (so primary source instead of secondary).[5]
  • 2016-present YouTube Channel
  • Start date is from Colville's website [6]
  • Small reference in a list of suggested online D&D tools [7]
  • Larger reference in a roundup of online D&D tools [8]

In terms of publication credits, I'm not sure if you're planning on going with a table format (like Jeremy Crawford) or a list format (like Keith Baker) but when I filled out Crawford's I was able to rely on BoardGameGeek. Here's a link to Colville's: https://boardgamegeek.com/rpgdesigner/6038/matthew-colville. I also wasn't able to find anything (like reviews) on his two novels outside of Colville talking about them. I was able to get year/ISBNs off of Amazon: Priest (2011, 9780615512150) & Thief (2014, 9780692203217). This review mentions Colville as the writer on Critical Role: Vox Machina – Origins #1.[9]

Let me know if you need any other help and ping me when you have a draft. Sariel Xilo (talk) 18:14, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
