After graduating from Illinois State University, Loren Wiseman co-founded Game Designers' Workshop with Frank Chadwick, Rich Banner, and Marc Miller on June 22, 1973.: 53 Wiseman published Eagles (later published by Avalon Hill as Caesar's Legions), his first wargame, and the fifth game published by Game Designers' Workshop, in 1974. As a partner at GDW, his primary responsibilities were game development – editing and revising game manuscripts and preparing them for publication. During this period he designed the wargame Pharsalus (1977), and wrote the award-winning Twilight: 2000 role-playing adventure Going Home.
Wiseman helped Frank Chadwick, John Harshman, and Marc Miller design Traveller (1977).: 54 Wiseman was editor of the Journal of the Travellers Aid Society (24 issues),: 55 and its successor Challenge magazine (53 issues).
Wiseman brought on J. Andrew Keith and William H. Keith, Jr. to begin freelancing for GDW in 1978 or 1979, and the three of them set up a lot of the early tone for the Traveller universe.: 56
Wiseman became the line developer for Twilight: 2000. The process at GDW was for the designer to write the text, but the developer brought together that text, plus draft diagrams and art into a manuscript, typeset it, and then made sure it was properly published. It also fell to him to design titles in the series (out of 46 supplementary titles for the series, he is credited with designing 20).
When GDW closed in 1995, Wiseman was unemployed for a short time and then worked a succession of part-time jobs, before being offered a job at Steve Jackson Games as Art Director and Traveller Line Editor. Steve Jackson brought on Wiseman to produce the GURPS Traveller (1998) line.: 111 He wrote GURPS Traveller and several supporting products, including GURPS Traveller Nobles and The Interstellar Wars.
