Daniel Seth Gelber is a game designer who has worked primarily on wargames and role-playing games.

Career

Dan Gelber had created an RPG design about a computer-controlled world of dystopic adventure called "Alpha Complex" that he ran for his local group, and Gelber's friend Greg Costikyan and Eric Goldberg approached Gelber about turning the setting into a professional product. Gelber gave Goldberg and Costikyan his notes for the game and they turned those ideas into a complete manuscript. Gelber, Costikyan , and Goldberg licensed Paranoia to West End Games, and Ken Rolston helped rewrite the rules before it was published in 1984.
