Career
Career
C.A. Suleiman has made contributions to books for role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons and World of Darkness. Suleiman was one of the writers of Vampire: The Requiem and conceived and developed the Mummy: The Curse line. His D&D work includes City of Stormreach, Cityscape, Dragonmarked, Heroes of Horror, and Faiths of Eberron. He launched a transmedia fantasy property called The Lost Citadel, based around the meshing of zombie horror and traditional fantasy tropes. The world debuted with a fiction anthology, and then with a Kickstarted game line. C.A. Suleiman created and developed a Cthulhu Mythos game and setting called Unspeakable: Sigil & Sign, which focuses on the Old One cultists as protagonists. In late 2017, the Horror Writers Association banned Suleiman from its events in response to accusations of sexual harassment; Green Ronin, publisher of The Lost Citadel fiction anthology and role-playing game, then distanced itself from Suleiman over the same allegations, despite co-owner Nicole Lindroos' maintaining of Suleiman's innocence.
