Career
One of the editors for Mind's Eye Theatre was Mike Tinney, who had been running LARPs of his own in the northeast; Tinney would become the Mind's Eye Theatre line manager. Tinney later became Vice President or Licensing and Marketing for White Wolf. Based on a proposal by Tinney, White Wolf created a new imprint in the late 1990s called "ArtHaus", which took much of the cost of creating supplements "out of house". Tinney was one of the contributors to the Creature Collection from White Wolf's Sword & Sorcery imprint. In 2002 Steve Wieck relinquished his role as President of White Wolf, and Tinney was named the new President. Under Tinney's guidance, White Wolf underwent big changes, starting with massive renovations to the World of Darkness.
On 11 November 2006, CCP Games and White Wolf jointly announced a merger between the two companies during the keynote address at the Eve Online Fanfest 2006. White Wolf Publishing became a wholly owned independent subsidiary of CCP with Tinney remaining as the president of CCP North America | White Wolf.
