'''Matt Forbeck''' is an American author, known for writing for several iconic franchises, such as ''[[Minecraft:Marvel]]'', ''[[Minecraft:Halo]]'', and ''[[Minecraft:Dungeons & Dragons]]'', as well as designing tabletop role playing games.<br />
<br />
== In the ''Minecraft'' franchise ==<br />
In 2020, Forbeck was assigned to write ''{{MCD|Rise of the Arch-Illager}}'', a prequel novel to the game {{MCD}}, explaining the origins of the game's {{MCD|Arch-Illager|main antagonist}}.<ref>{{Citation|url=https://cogconnected.com/2020/07/minecraft-dungeons-prequel-novel/|title=Minecraft Dungeons Prequel Novel Coming Soon|author=Clayton Cyre|website=COGconnected|date=July 17, 2020}}</ref> In 2023, he would return to write an opposing novel, ''{{MCL|Return of the Piglins}}''. This book was a sequel of sorts to {{MCL}}, treating the events as mere stories with ambiguous truth.<ref>{{mcnet|minecraft-legends-return-piglins|Minecraft Legends: Return of the Piglins|May 5, 2023|Cristina Anderca}}</ref> The focus was instead put on a conflict involving a zookeeper named {{MCL|Farnum}} and a fugitive [[Minecraft:piglin]] named {{MCL|Kritten}}.<br />
<br />
In 2025, it was announced he would return to the franchise, writing not a book but designing a tabletop RPG, [[Minecraft: Roll for Adventure: The Temple of the Charged Creeper|''Minecraft: Roll for Adventure: The Temple of the Charged Creeper'']].<ref>{{Citation|url=https://www.destructoid.com/minecraft-ttrpg-written-by-marvel-multiverse-author-coming-in-july-2025/|title=Minecraft TTRPG, written by Marvel Multiverse author, coming in July 2025|author=Matt Jackson|website=Destructoid|date=December 6, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{Citation|url=https://www.polygon.com/tabletop-games/486813/minecraft-ttrpg-marvel-multiverse-matt-forbeck|title=Marvel Multiverse writer and Minecraft novelist has a Minecraft TTRPG on the way|author=Rowan Zeoli|website=Polygon|date=November 27, 2024}}</ref><br />
