Phil Brucato: Author, Journalist, Game Designer
Phil Brucato, an American writer, journalist, editor, and game designer residing in Seattle, is renowned for his contributions to the gaming industry.
Professional Work
Brucato's notable work at White Wolf, Inc. includes game designs for "Mage: The Ascension," "Werewolf: The Apocalypse," and "Mage: The Sorcerer's Crusade." He has also written articles for BBI Media's magazines "newWitch" and "Witches & Pagans."
Writing and Inspiration
Brucato is the author of the book series "Deliria: Faerie Tales for a New Millennium" and the webcomic "Arpeggio." He publishes short stories and founded the small press Quiet Thunders Productions in Seattle. His writing motto, "To write is to tell the Truth," reflects his belief in the power of fiction to inspire real-life achievements.
Political Activism and Blogging
Brucato maintains political blogs on Daily Kos and Posterous, primarily covering the Occupy movement and commenting on current events.
Arpeggio: The Webcomic
Launched in 2010, "Arpeggio" is a webcomic by Brucato, artist Bryan Syme, and editor and letterer Sandra Buskirk. It follows the story of Meghan Susan Green, a teenager who discovers her extraordinary musical talent. The title references the musical term "arpeggio," inspired by Brucato's friendship with singer-songwriter S. J. Tucker and his experience as a musician.
Ravens in the Library: Supporting a Friend
In 2009, Quiet Thunder Productions published "Ravens in the Library" to support S. J. Tucker's medical expenses. The anthology featured contributions from notable authors including Laurel K. Hamilton, Terry Windling, and Neil Gaiman, as well as illustrations from artists such as Stephanie Pui-Mun Law and Amy Brown.
Music and the Written Word
As a former bass guitarist, Brucato has written music-themed articles and interviews for various publications and websites. He founded the heavy metal band Lonesome Crow in 1989 and played in groups such as Dark Cross, Aqua Blue, and Widdershins in the 1990s.
