Cheryl Kallenbach

Cheryl Kallenbach is the wife of Decipher designer Chuck Kallenbach.[2] She playtested the Jedi Knights Trading Card Game (2001).[3] The card name Chyler is an anagram of her name.[4][5] Chall Bekan and Imperial Helmsman (Bachenhall) come from the Kallenbach family name.[4]
At Decipher
In late September 2000 Decipher flew authors Michael A. Stackpole and Timothy Zahn to Norfolk for a photo shoot tied to Reflections II. Stackpole wrote that "Tom and Chuck, along with their wives Kathy and Cheryl, took Tim and me to dinner" that evening. Those hosts were Tom Lischke, Chuck Kallenbach and Kathy Lischke.[2]
In November 2000 she played in an in-house Young Jedi sealed deck tournament at the Decipher office in Norfolk. The event used the new Duel of the Fates expansion, and Kevin Reitzel ran it. "Ten Decipherians participated" in the playtest room. She finished tenth with a Dark Side deck, and Chuck finished fourth.[6]
