Nick Davis, writer and occasional artist

Nick grew up in the small English market town of Melton Mowbray and devoured the comics of the day, including 2000 AD, Battle, Warlord, Tiger, The Beano, and many more. It was a time of Rupert Bear annuals, The Muppets, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers, Dungeons & Dragons, and Action Force! Alongside a love of Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows and E.H. Shepard’s illustrated Winnie-the-Pooh, Nick is also an avid reader of pulp-inspired mecha novels, Captain America comics, manga, and anything related to Tolkien or Pratchett.

Joining Games Workshop in the mid-1990s, first as a Mail Order Troll, Nick soon moved to the Design Studio, where he worked on Warhammer 40,000 Third Edition and various army and codex books. He was later tapped by Paul “Fat Bloke” Sawyer to become a feature writer and production assistant for White Dwarf magazine. During this time, Nick contributed articles on terrain building, miniature painting, and gaming, all while helping produce a monthly magazine.

In the early 2000s, Nick moved to the United States, joining Games Workshop America to create content for its website before concluding his time with the company after a short stint on the American edition of White Dwarf. While at Games Workshop America, Nick developed the “In a Flash” Warhost gaming conditions for The Lord of the Rings, along with similar rulesets for Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000. This experience inspired him to create the Alt World website, initially as a home for alternative-world gaming supplements(opens in new tab) using the Warhammer and Lord of the Rings systems. The site later evolved into Alt World Studios, a creative outlet for storytelling across the internet.

Today, Nick lives and works in the United States as a Digital Marketing Architect and graphic designer for a Washington, DC-based healthcare nonprofit. Occasionally, he can be found plodding away at a well-worn keyboard, attempting to draw, or playing with LEGO while exploring the tea-powered worlds of his imagination. From The Night Guardians to the mayhem filled monsta-hunta’verse books, there is always adventures ahead!
