Hyborian Tales Staff Biographies

Meet our core crew, the Hyborian Tales Staff.



Bridie Przibram

Bridie Przibram has been a professional theatrical costumier since 1986, making costumes for an enormous number of theatres and dance companies as well as TV and film. She has been live roleplaying, and making LRP costume, since 1989. Bridie made many of the frock-coats, britches, and flouncy shirts sported by the Freebooters Alliance, as well as items of pure fantasy, Viking, Celtic, and High Medieval costume. She is also a belly-dancer and published writer.

Sally Roberts

Sally started LRPing in 2003 when dragged along to meet some pirates. Always willing to give anything ago, especially if it involves pirates, Sally discovered her love for cross country pantomine. Having tried out SHARDS events and Profund Decisions' Maelstrom Sally found that her love lay not in the playing of the characters but in the crewing. She became a regular attendee of the Shards events as a crew member. But unfortunately work commitments meant she eventually had to give it up. Still an enthusiast she is pleased to have been included in the Hyborian Tales crew. Willing to lend a hand and do the jobs no-one else wants to do, Sally is a very organised and bossy person. She is also a semi-professional belly dancer.



Ian Sturrock

Ian Sturrock works full-time as a writer of tabletop roleplaying games. His games have won several awards and been nominated for many more. As the writer of the licensed Conan OGL Roleplaying Game (Mongoose Publishing) he has a unique insight into the particular style that any Hyborian game must have to properly reflect Howard's themes. He has been live roleplaying since 1983 and has run a number of one-off events, including The Legacy (Cthulhoid 1720s pirate horror), Mossfest (Scooby-Doo style pirate LRP), and Cutlass Island (think It's a Knockout meets Pirates of the Caribbean). He has extensive circus and theatrical experience including construction, costume-making, props, prosthetics, lighting, stilt-walking, and fire performance. Ian is also a 15th century re-enactor and has a keen interest in historical combat of all kinds. In Hyborian Tales, Ian will be writing rules and adventures, as well as refereeing and assisting with any other task that needs doing, from fletching arrows to building temples.

Graham Warr

Graham has been a LRPer for nearly 20 years and was the principal writer of Advent LRP's Lost World (probably best described as a cross between Jane Austin, Flashman and Tarzan) and Flyin' Lead, Walkin' Dead (imagine Buffy goes to Dodge City), as well as a number of one off games. In addition to his writing and research credits, Graham is also an experienced costume and prop maker. Graham has been involved in various historical groups and projects (the largest of which was building a Tudor farm) spanning from the Romans to the English Civil War, and in a former life gave talks and demonstrations on many aspects of these periods.
