Jean-Philippe Jaworski

Jean-Philippe Jaworski (born 1969) is a French author of fantasy literature and role-playing games.

Life

Born in 1969, Jaworski is a teacher of French literature at a lycée in Nancy.[1]

In 1983, having become interested in role-playing games,[2] he wrote two amateur pen and paper role-playing games: Tiers âge, based on the Third Age of J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, and Te deum pour un massacre, a period adventure taking place in 16th century France during the Wars of Religion. Te deum pour un massacre was eventually published in 2005.

Jaworski published his first work of fiction, Janua Vera, in 2007, and was awarded that year's Prix du Cafard cosmique for it. This collection of novellas is set in a fantasy world, Le Vieux Royaume, characterized by a low degree of supernatural activity and inspired by swashbuckler novels and historical fiction. Jaworski continued to develop this world in his first novel, Gagner la guerre. Published in 2009, it was awarded that year's Prix Imaginales for the best French-language novel.
