Career
In a 2018 interview Tuttle described SWCCG as "Tom and Rollie's game". He was recruited from Star Trek CCG community work into Star Wars playtesting around A New Hope.[2] He took part in Decipher's in-house playtests from Star Wars CCG Premiere on, when they were held at the Omni hotel on the Waterside in Norfolk.[3]
At DecipherCon 1999 (11–14 November 1999) he and Ryan Morris ran Radio Free DecipherCon, Decipher's audio feed from the convention, which Decipher called "the voice and tech behind Radio Free DecipherCon".[5] The Thursday feeds list him interviewing designers Evan Lorentz and Chuck Kallenbach and Star Wars CCG finalists.[12] Decipher's Star Wars CCG World Championship page carried his play-by-play of games 1 and 2 and his interview with finalists Gary Carman and Steven Lewis.[6] He and Morris closed the feed on Sunday.[13]
He was master of ceremonies at DecipherCon 2000. On Radio Free Decipher Broadcasts 50 and 51 he previewed the convention's new products, Day One start times and Decipher Olympics, and on Broadcast 53 he thanked the attendees and looked back on the weekend.[14][15][16]
His radio shows followed the end of Radio Free Decipher.[11] On WARS Radio episodes 3 (9 July 2004) and 4 he interviewed Warren Holland on the origins of WARS TCG.[3]
