Born April 28, 1947 in Ogden, Utah. Grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. Was a member of the first group of students to ever attend Maryvale High School, and graduated 13th in 1965, the first group to ever graduate from there. Became a gamer in high school. Graduated from Arizona State University in January 1970 with a B.A. in English Literature. Got my first library job at the Ocotillo Branch of Phoenix Public Library in October, 1972. Married Catherine Ellen Grote on May 25, 1973. (This union eventually produced two children--Jillian Charmaine St. Andre, born in 1979 and James Corwin St. Andre born in 1991. I separated from Cathy in 2011.) Attended Library School at the University of Arizona in 1974 and graduated with M.L.S. in December of 1974. Wrote the first edition of Tunnels and Trolls in April 1975, self-published it in June of that year, a limited edition of 100 copies. Tunnels & Trolls was the second role-playing game published in the U.S.A.--and the first one to actually include a copyright notice.
I worked as a Librarian for the City of Phoenix continually from 1975 to 2010, during which time I served at the main library and several of the branches
I seem to have spent the rest of my life expanding and elaborating on that seminal work. Tunnels and Trolls went through four editions quite quickly and in 1975 the classic 5th edition, edited and re-written entirely by Liz Danforth from my notes appeared in 1981. That remained the standard until 2005 when Fiery Dragon Ltd. of Canada produced the 7th edition, entirely rewritten by me. In 2008 the 7.5 edition modified the 2005 rules slightly, and is now my preferred edition of the game. However, I have created a number of other games including Monsters! Monsters!, Stormbringer, and was one of the designers of the computer classic Wasteland.
From about 1985 to 2010, I was a member of the Science Fiction Writers of America, and have published 3 or 4 short stories that are really difficult to find. During my career as a librarian I also reviewed books for them, and many of my reviews are reproduced on the internet. In addition I wrote scholarly biography articles for Scribners and a collection development article for Library Journal in 2010. My total bibliography would be both lengthy and varied, and even I don't think I could make a complete list. And I am not done yet. I produced about a dozen new Tunnels and Trolls modules in 2011, and plan to continue with more of the same in 2012 and the forseeable future.
If you really want a biography of me, see the article in http://en.wikipedia.org, although even the famed Wikipedia is not completely up to date, or accurate.
