Darren Watts named his company DOJ, after his Golden Age era Champions game, which was known as the "Defenders of Justice".
DOJ bought the Hero Games rights and assets from Cybergames, Inc. on December 19, 2001.
Darren also worked behind the scenes for many publishers, including Chaosium, where he provided recent editorial support on the 7th Sea novels and the latest edition of Phyllis Ann Karr’s The Arthurian Companion.
[1] Watts was known in industry circles as a community builder with a strong desire to improve the quality of the games we all publish and play, but also the social conditions that underpin their creation.
Darren’s most lasting impact on the tabletop community may come from the hours and effort he devoted to supporting smaller publishers and independent creators, helping them craft better games and find their audience through his work with Indie Press Revolution, local gaming conventions, the Metatopia Game Design Festival, and the First Exposure Playtest Hall at Gen Con.
