Career

His D&D work includes City of Stormreach, Cityscape, Dragonmarked, Heroes of Horror, and Faiths of Eberron.[5]

He launched a transmedia fantasy property called The Lost Citadel, based around the meshing of zombie horror and traditional fantasy tropes. The world debuted with a fiction anthology,[6] and then with a Kickstarted game line.[7]

C.A. Suleiman created and developed a Cthulhu Mythos game and setting called Unspeakable: Sigil & Sign, which focuses on the Old One cultists as protagonists.

In November 2017, the Horror Writers Association permanently banned Suleiman from its events, citing "a number of incidents that occurred at our previous events involving C.A. Suleiman and female attendees."[8] Shortly thereafter, Green Ronin, publisher of The Lost Citadel fiction anthology and role-playing game, severed ties with Suleiman over the same accusations.[9]
