Michael Satran

Michael Satran has been gaming since 1979, and running his Champions / Hero System universe since 1987. A graduate of Rutgers University, with a master's degree in English from the University of Rhode Island, he is currently working on three more adventures for Blackwyrm Games and three novels.

His first novel. Hellbow Rune, was released at Gencon 2014 and sold out long before the convention was over. It's a dark fairy tale about the wrong girl who goes to the wrong woods, meets the wrong people and creatures, and has some very wrong adventures. It's like a creepy, evil Wizard of Oz. Far more Brothers Grimm than Walt Disney, this story will take you to the land of all the fairy tale characters that didn't make it.

Michael is currently working on Alison L., an urban fantasy novel based on Alice in Wonderland, and the sequel to that book, The Boiling Hot Sea. Flowers in the Madhouse, the third book in a series of thirteen, is in development.

His Champions universe, Legacies, currently contains more than 100 player character superheroes, untold numbers of supervillians, and a backstory that starts before World War II and threatens the peace and security of Earth into the future.

Mr. Satran's game store of choice is The Gamer's Gambit in Fair Lawn, NJ.

This picture was taken at Mr. Satran's home, owned by his two cats, who charge him rent.

Mr. Satran's picture is twisted. Much like his work.
