 Ian Livingstone is Life President of Eidos. In 1975 he founded Games Workshop with Steve Jackson and launched Dungeons & Dragons in Europe and the Games Workshop retail chain. In 1982, again with Steve Jackson, he wrote The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, the first in the Fighting Fantasy series of interactive gamebooks that sold over 16 million copies in 23 languages. He wrote more than 20 books in the series including his best-selling Deathtrap Dungeon. In 1995 he was instrumental in the merger and flotation of Domark with Eidos Technologies and served as Executive Chairman of the new interactive entity Eidos plc until 2002. At Eidos he helped to secure many of the company’s major franchises including Tomb Raider and Hitman. In 2002 he was awarded the BAFTA Special Award for his outstanding contribution to the interactive entertainment industry. Ian is also Co-author Next Gen report on computer games skills which amongst other things makes far reaching recommendations for how video games and programming should be taught in Schools.  The Observer (4.12.11) cited Livingstone’s remarks from the report as needing to transform the UK into “the world’s leading talent hub for the video games and visual effects industries”. http://www.nesta.org.uk/publications/assets/features/next_gen_on_newsnight
