Derek Chung
Derek Chung is the award-winning designer, college professor, and psychotherapist behind Nomnivore Games. His mission is a simple yet profound one: to make the unadulterated fun of games accessible to everyone.
As an educator, he teaches the next generation of designers about the intersection of psychology, philosophy, and business in creating great games. As a former globe-trotting psychotherapist, he applies his experience and deep insight into the human condition to design games that are neurodivergent- and physical-disability-friendly. (And when he's not working toward these goals, you can likely find him enjoying a beer while slinging spells in his best dinosaur voice.)
Derek's approach and philosophy around accessible gaming is about giving every player a jetpack to reach the highest shelves of gaming enjoyment, rather than just moving the shelves closer. He firmly believes that if you can't play what you want, how you want, you aren't having all the fun you should, and that's just unacceptable.
Derek Gour
Derek is a Toronto-based game designer spanning tabletop and video games. His goal is to craft thoughtful games that blur genre lines. Games that have influenced him range from roleplaying classics like Burning Wheel and Apocalypse World to computer strategy gems like Civilization and Crusader Kings. Derek is the creator of the Hope Inhumanity tabletop card game, and his new project is Wheat and Wrath, a survival city builder with villagers made of straw.
