About Us
Michael W. Kennedy. As a boy, I passed the long summer days in Kansas inventing card and dice games. As a teenager, I played the old Tactics II and Gettysburg boardgames and, as an adult, I enjoyed some computer games such as Civilization and Empire. One of the many hats I wore in my career (I'm now retired) was programmer. When PCs came out I taught myself C and started making computer games. Later I learned Visual Basic 6 and some HTML. Around 2005, I started White Dog Games. Other interests include ballroom dancing, handicapping the horses and historical novels, especially those by Cecelia Holland.
Dennis L. Bishop. I am a retired public school teacher. I began playing wargames in 1970, and began designing wargames in 1971. Some of the wargames that I have published include Sand in the Whirlwind, Defiance, The Jewish War, Togoland, Jassin, The Cuban Revolution, Deguello at Dawn, Dark Victory, Blood of Noble Men, and Like Lions They Fought. I have and continue to publish articles in Command Magazine, Strategy and Tactics, and By Jingo. I developed numerous games for different magazines and wargaming companies, and took a brief sojourn into computer game development with Edensoft. I have also been involved in various roles in many other articles and games by other authors and designers and, for nine years, enjoyed being a founding partner of Khyber Pass Games.
Richard A. Dengel. Here I am pictured with Harvey a standard red poodle (that would be me on the left). I am the designer of the Rebel Yell system of games originally published by GPG in 1994. Since then I have self-published two titles, I Fights Mit Sigel (nominated in 2004 for DTP game of the year), and Huzzah! or Rebel Yell Lite. I have several other titles in the Rebel Yell series that may (or may not) find the light of publication, including The Devil's Due, Smash 'Em Up! (Belmont), and Hayfoot! Strawfoot! (first Bull Run). I have numerous smaller scenarios for both the Huzzah and Rebel Yell systems. My other interests include casual backyard astronomy, boxed wine (it's all I can afford), and illuminating my own re-telling of the Gnostic creation myth, the Secret Book of John.
