This page is for listing all the people who helped out in the production of Doctor When.

Super Special Thanks

Todd Hartman

Todd did something that no one else could possibly do -- build the amazing time machine set. Todd spent many sleepless nights building the modular set that would have to work for all three acts. In between set construction he managed to find time to supervise the filming of all the videos, as well as sneaking out some time to do some Photoshop work for all of the "modified" classic paintings in the Act II Art History puzzle. This puzzle hunt would be a mere fraction of what it actually ended up being without Todd's contribution.

The Core

The gang of idiots who stuck through the whole thing from beginning to end. These only give a general overview of what our areas of expertise are; but everyone here's done a little bit of everything in this game! (Names are listed in alphabetical order.)

Allen Cohn

Allen's been the visionary of this entire affair from day 1, when Professor Chronos was an evil arch-nemesis and Buffy was an unnamed lab assistant. Throughout it all, he's let the rest of us take his story and give it meaning and substance, and, in some cases (we're looking at you, Art History and Invalid Permit Puzzles), let us take things to places it was never meant to go. For the last few months, Allen has been tirelessly writing staff instructions, organizing teams and volunteers and being the "public face" of our event. That and he makes food, too!

Sean Gugler

Sean stepped up and took on the thankless of role of Puzzle Czar, trying to stitch together a wide variety of puzzles and authors and somehow make it all organized. He's been our voice of enthusiasm, always making the project move forward and bringing his extensive Game experience to adapt to this unorthodox "story-driven" variant. A few months before game day, we still had significant holes in our puzzle schedule; places where the plot required a puzzle there but nobody had written one. Sean took all of these on -- and you probably can't tell which puzzles were written in the last week, can you?

Wei-Hwa Huang

The number of puzzles that Wei-Hwa didn't have some sort of involvement in could probably be counted on the fingers of one finger. In addition to demanding near-perfection on every puzzle, he's also responsible for running the websites (which, in addition to the public-facing sites and GROSS, also includes a large wiki and a bug-tracking database), archiving digital versions of everything, and putting his graphic design fingerprint on nearly everything. Yes, that does include the badges.

Erik Stuart

In addition to designing more puzzles in the event than anyone else (the few thousand co-keypads and chronomentometers from Wei-Hwa don't count), Erik has been also been the steady voice of reason throughout the organization, often calm when the rest of us are clouded with emotion. Not only have he and Melissa sacrificed their house for the last few months to act as GC central storage (and for years before that to work as GC meeting), but he's also done the lion's share of printing and collating and organizing things into envelopes. Most people misuse the term "lion's share" to mean "simple majority"; but not here.

Melissa Wilson

Some Games are all about the puzzles. If you've played in Doctor When, you know that we're more than just puzzles -- and every bit of "more" couldn't happen without the help of Melissa. Location scouting. Costume. Make-up. Props. Technical Director (the theatrical type, that is; not the software type). When disagreements flared up because of conflicting personalities in different aspects of the theatrical management, Melissa was always there as a competent diplomat. All this stuff just sort of happened magically and seemingly flawlessly, because Melissa was just so awesome that she didn't need any help from the rest of us.
