Fallout 2 - Dev Profile @ NMA

NMA has revived their Fallout developer profile series, with this relaunch discussing Colin McComb and his design work on Fallout 2 (and PS:T) :

I've been as a professional writer for more than 15 years. I started working at TSR straight out of college. Somehow I managed to convince them to hire me on the basis of my philosophy degree and charming personality, and I was there for about five years. I was one of the co-designers of the Birthright campaign setting, and took over (with Monte Cook) a lot of the design work on the Planescape setting when Zeb Cook left for Interplay. I put out about twenty-five to thirty gaming products at TSR, and won two Origins Awards in that batch.
