Illustrated portrait of Casey O’Brien

Author profile

Casey O’Brien

Editor & Fact-Checking Lead

Edits everything published here, checks claims against primary sources and owns the review schedule.

Biography

Casey edits the site and runs its fact-checking process. That means reading every draft against the game it describes, chasing any number back to a source that can actually be linked, and cutting the sentences that sound authoritative but do not say anything.

Casey also maintains the content review calendar: which pages are due a re-read, which have broken outbound links, and which describe a game whose mechanics have since changed.
