ABOUT THE TEAM
Jim Bailey
Project Developer
Jim Bailey is the project developer, art director, and lead games designer for INCURSION. His job is mostly to sit around frothing, chewing his fingers, and muttering about deadlines and so forth. Jim helps run a big architecture firm in Texas, USA by day but every night, he dons his gimp mask to do Grindhouse Games along with his brother John. His most recent project is Secrets of the Third Reich on which he acted as chief stress case and finger-chewer, managing to scribble out the odd rule or two or slap some paint on models between teeth-gnashings.
Seth Nash
Lead Miniatures Designer
Seth Nash is the dude. He is the lead miniatures designer and production guy for INCURSION. That he was actually born from a human mother is still debated far and wide but he emerged as a wee life form from London in the seventies and hasn’t grown up since. His interests include, but are not limited to; war, robots, big swords, books (80% picture preference) and films that look good. Seth has a wife and three kids and lives in a village in Leicestershire U.K. Oh, and he’s quite mental. His extensive resume is therefore classified.

David Ausloos
Graphic Artist
Torn between his passion for Tarkovskian melancholy texturing and a Spielbergian sense of visual drama, Belgium-based David Ausloos has been active as a graphic designer since he stumbled upon an old dingy C64 many years ago. In the precious spare time that he is granted between teaching art classes and doting on his precious daughter, he develops material for clients that range from movie companies to obscure Russian underground tabletop networks. He has been caught designing hardcore survival horror board games and rusty epic Sci-Fi operas with action mechanics, though he tries to keep that to himself out of common sense. David is developing the board graphics for Incursion.
Peter Gifford
Graphic Artist
As Universal Head www.universalhead.com, Peter Gifford has been designing graphics from the most corporate to the most creative for more than twenty years. He’s responsible for the graphic design of several boardgames, most notably ‘Tales of the Arabian Nights’ by Z-Man Games, and once spent a year recreating the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza in 3D for the computer game ‘The Omega Stone’. In between he’s designed everything from large corporate websites, to postage stamps, to a mobile phone interface. His personal site www.headlesshollow.com is an obsessive repository of professionally designed rules summaries and reference sheets for popular boardgames.

In addition to exquisitely painting hordes of miniatures over his gaming career, he has also been a playtester for various games such as Supersystem, Chaos in Carpathia and Battlefield Evolution World at War.

Dan Pacey
Concept Artist and Miniature Sculptor
Dan Pacey did the lion’s share of the early concept art for INCURSION as well as many of the magnificent zombies. Since his graduation from JCU in Australia in 1994, Dan has worked in either a sculpting or illustration capacity on various ranges of figures including Lord of the Rings, Dr. Who, Judge Dredd and many others. He has a decidedly unhealthy fascination with all things zombie and in the past few years has sculpted more than his fair share of zombie models for various companies. When nobody is paying him to sculpt zombies, he does it on his own. He loves them!
