Bruce Nesmith created the board game Dragonstrike and did a lot of work on the collectible card game Spellfire. He has an extensive board game collection. His all-time favorite board game is Cosmic Encounters. He is also fond of Star Fleet Battles, Carcassonne, and Space Hulk.

He is one of the most experienced role-playing game writers. He starting in gaming by creating computer games for the TRS-80 and Apple II+. From 1988 until 1995, he was the creative director for TSR. From 1995 until 1998, he worked for Bethesda Softworks as a senior producer. In 2004, he returned to Bethesda Game Studios as the Director of Design and Senior Game Designer.
