Hi, I'm Jeff Haynes, a long-time RTS enthusiast, Economist, and Mathematician. Aside from my profession, I work a lot in games, and have released a few titles in minor contexts including some house rule sets for RPGs and design dreams for RTS games.

I thought about it today that for my generation probably the most important contribution I had made was one in the D20 genre. My friends and I worked up a system called Threshold which delineated against the traditional Crit system in RPGs. Tons of players hate losing a level 12-16 character to a 1-shot off a 19-20 3d8/4d8. For a while we used a 2x system but it didn't really appeal to us because high health characters never bottomed out.

As far as real literature I dont know any specific contributions ;;

Anyway, I'm Jeff, and it is nice to meet you all.
