Career

Andrew Rilstone was the editor of the influential fanzine Aslan in the 1980s and early 1990s.

James Wallis, Rilstone and Richard Lambert authored the story-telling card game Once Upon a Time in 1990. Once Upon a Time was finally published by Atlas Games in 1993, and was the first release from Atlas in the board and card game genre.

Wallis and Rilstone co-founded the RPG magazine Inter*action, the first issue of which was published in Summer 1994. Wallis created Hogshead Publishing in October 1994; the company had three members of staff initially - Wallis, Rilstone, and Jane Mitton. Wallis and Rilstone changed the name of Inter*action to Interactive Fantasy due to trademark concerns beginning with its second issue, which was also Hogshead's first publication. The Dying of the Light, a scenario pack for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay published by Hogshead in 1995, included adventures by Wallis, Rilstone, Phil Masters, Chris Pramas, and others.
