Who are they?

Ah, the editors are a shifty bunch. One of them prefers only to be known as Despot_in_Exile, having been a glorious figure in the history of the University of Warwick's Science Fiction and Fantasy Society (UWSF&FS). You may contact her whenever you wish. Her glamorous assistant, Geoff Hinkley, also a legend in his own lunchtime at UWSF&FS, would rather you didn't contact him. He can't be taking that shit, man.

They are now ensconced in London where they can be of no further danger to UWSF&FS, but they continue to give both the Warwick and Leicester sci-fi societies the benefit of their wisdom and ego. Lucky things.

What else do they do?

Each has been known for running roleplaying games. The Despot's tend to be character angst-fests; Geoff's are deliciously twisted morality plays. The Despot has run Cyberpunk 2020 for six years, prima donna esque ("This time I've REALLY finished with this campaign!"), while Geoff prefers the slightly more slipstream approach, for example his infamous psycho murder campaign (or was that his Mage game?). They have also had far too much experience of Vampire: The Masquerade (and various White Wolf crossovers), and have even, separately, dipped their toes into the murky waters of running Vampire LARPS at Warwick. Never again, they say.
The Despot is always prepared to run beginners' games for those new to roleplay, so if you want to know more about this roleplaying thing please e-mail her and ask!

How did they get lumbered with the Cyberpunk page?

The Despot, eager to prove herself a geek, set up the original Steampunk webpage. Geoff came to the rescue to write a new, exciting Cyberpunk setting - and he is not getting away now!
Collaborative fiction needs a neutral editor, but the Despot is extremely fond of Cyberpunk. Should she succumb to the temptation to write, Geoff may take over full editorial duties. Let us beware!
