Chris Chandler
Introduction
Chris Chandler, aka Barak, has been a member of the PCGen team since 2001.
Chris started by working on the output sheets and became the OS SilverBack. During that time he worked with the code and data teams to create the new (now old and familiar) "Weapon Block" that displays all of the various ways you may use a weapon to attack and all the proper attack numbers for doing so, saving an immense amount of space on the output sheets. He also began dabbling in dataset creation through this period.
When CMP was incorporated Chris began working for them on a contractor basis doing output sheets and data sets. Chris eventually became their content manager, first for the PCGen side and later responsibility for the eTools data portion of their business was added. During this period his time was at such a premium he stepped down as the OS SilverBack, feeling that he could not contribute enough time to do the position the justice it deserved. Unfortunately WotC declined to renew the CMP license eventually (to clear the path for 4e apparently) so that era ended at the end of 2006.
Since that time Chris have served as CMP Liason to the PCGen Board of Directors and assisted the data team with the design of new functionality for PCGen.
