BOZ pinged me on this. The issue I've come across is confirming his early work history with secondary sources. All of the exact dates come from Colville's LinkedIn (which I think you can cite per WP:BLPSPS especially if you can confirm the work history actually occurred with other sources):
 * 2000 Designer at Wizards of the Coast (less than a year)
 * "He actually worked for Wizards of the Coast for about six minutes back in 2000 before jumping ship to join Pandemic Studios on the Mercenaries team".


 * 2002-2009 Story Editor at Pandemic Studios
 * Refers to Colville as Lead Writer on Mercenaries 2: World in Flames
 * Refers to Colville as Writer and Story Editor for Mercs 2 and Mercs 1


 * 2011-present Lead Writer at Turtle Rock Studios
 * Refers to Colville as a Writer on Evolve
 * Colville refers to Turtle Rock Studios as his "home since 2011" on in a post on his website (so primary source instead of secondary).


 * 2016-present YouTube Channel
 * Start date is from Colville's website
 * Small reference in a list of suggested online D&D tools
 * Larger reference in a roundup of online D&D tools

In terms of publication credits, I'm not sure if you're planning on going with a table format (like Jeremy Crawford) or a list format (like Keith Baker) but when I filled out Crawford's I was able to rely on BoardGameGeek. Here's a link to Colville's: https://boardgamegeek.com/rpgdesigner/6038/matthew-colville. I also wasn't able to find anything (like reviews) on his two novels outside of Colville talking about them. I was able to get year/ISBNs off of Amazon: Priest (2011, 9780615512150) & Thief (2014, 9780692203217). This review mentions Colville as the writer on Critical Role: Vox Machina – Origins #1.

Let me know if you need any other help and ping me when you have a draft. Sariel Xilo (talk) 18:14, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
