[edit] Web Design

As a web designer for White Wolf, Conrad Hubbard led the production of the largest text-based online chat based role-playing game set in the World of Darkness, fictional New Bremen, Georgia. Reports of the user population of the fictional New Bremen varied, but White Wolf reported that the chat game had more than 5,000 sanctioned characters at any time, all sharing the same game environment. The chat gained recognition as a Google category of its own and produced numerous New Bremen related Yahoogroups. The New Bremen chat used off the shelf software called Digichat (a product of Digi-Net Technologies, Inc., supplemented with a database that stored characters and the Storytellers approvals thereof and notes pertaining to them. While not everyone approved of the chat's structure, it has been copied and expanded upon by numerous World of Darkness fan sites since its inception.

New Bremen proved successful enough that White Wolf has opened multiple roleplaying game chat settings using a similar model.

The current roster of moderated White Wolf RPG Chat settings includes:

Previous White Wolf RPG Chat settings included:

Additionally, White Wolf hosts an unmoderated chat room area, where people join together to run their own roleplaying games using the same software and database design as the moderated rooms.

[edit] Poetry

Conrad Hubbard is also a poet. He hosts a body of over 200 poems in an online "poetry scrapbook" called Pathos. He won poetry awards from the Richmond Area Reading Council two years in a row during high school, and award winners were invited to the Governor's Mansion in the state of Virginia. For a period of time he participated in the live poetry scene of Richmond, Virginia with a group which called itself "Blue Light Poetry Night". When that group lost its host location, they moved to the Shockoe Bottom area night club After Six.
