J.D. Wiker

J.D. Wiker is a roleplaying game designer who wrote much of the material for the Wizards of the Coast Star Wars Roleplaying Game. He served for a time as the "Star Wars answer guy" on the message boards, and was the author of the first fifty "Jedi Counseling" articles, giving advice and answering questions regarding rules and ideas for the Star Wars d20 roleplaying game (RPG). He discontinued work on the game when he was laid off from Wizards of the Coast in September 2002. (He could not legally continue to work as a Star Wars Roleplaying Game freelancer after his position was liquidated, though he was able to work on the Star Wars Miniatures Game Ultimate Missions series.) He later returned to work on the RPG via the Saga Edition.
