Publishing as Tom Bombadil
My name is Tobias Wade, and I am currently publishing games and books under the name Tom Bombadil. I am a philosopher, novelist, guitarist, game designer, and programmer.
I previously worked in neuroscience. During my studies it struck me as odd that I could learn so much about behavior without understanding the intricacies of human nature. I realized that I learned more about what it means to be human from reading stories and playing games than I ever had from my textbooks, and I was inspired to create.
A general stubbornness about my creative pursuits led me to starting an indie press, Haunted House Publishing, and to become a solo developer to do things my own way.
