Loren K. Wiseman is a Traveller author, contributor, and fan.

Description (Biography)
Mr. Wiseman was born in the twin cities of Bloomington-Normal Illinois, and grew up in a little town called Heyworth (about 13 miles south of there). He attended Illinois State University as both an undergraduate and graduate student, and lived in Normal until GDW, Inc. went out of business, when he moved to Austin Texas to work for SJ Games.
- During college, he frequented the university games club, whose members would form Game Designers' Workshop, Inc. (better known as GDW)
- Game Designer's Workshop was originally a partnership, and later incorporated to become Game Designers' Workshop Inc. Wiseman was one of the junior partners, and a stockholder, eventually serving on the board of directors and as corporate secretary.
- While at GDW, he wrote, co-wrote, or edited over 30 game products, and served as designer, editor, developer, typesetter, business machine trouble-shooter, and was in charge of the office soda machine.
- After GDW went out of business in 1995, he went on unemployment for a short time and worked a succession of part-time jobs (including several seasons as a part time clerk for the IRS answering their 1-800-IRS-FORM number). He was employed as a sales associate (business electronics) at a national office supply chain when Steve Jackson offered him the position of art director and Traveller line editor.
