Following an introduction to GURPS in Steve Jackson's Man to Man, C.J. Carella got his first work in the role-playing games industry on GURPS Martial Arts (1990) and freelance work for Steve Jackson Games.: 340  Carella designed GURPS War Against the Chtorr (1993), which game designer Rick Swan called a "first-rate supplement for the GURPS game". He also wrote GURPS Voodoo: The Shadow War, published in 1995.
Carella then became a staff members of Palladium Books.: 340  He created the Nightbane setting and was involved in the production of Mercenaries and Pantheons of the Megaverse for Palladium's multigenre RPG RIFTS.

Carella developed the Unisystem for the first editions of WitchCraft and Armageddon. Carella had negative experiences with Myrmidon on their business end, and since George Vasilakos and M. Alexander Jurkat of Eden Studios, Inc. were fans of his work, they had talked with Carella about developing a crossover book for Conspiracy X and Witchcraft.: 340 
Conspiracy X supplement sales were dropping by 1998 and so Eden Studios wanted to add more lines to revitalize the business and got an exclusive license with Carella to publish his WitchCraft and Armageddon role-playing games.: 340  Carella created a simplified Unisystem variant for the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Roleplaying Game (2002) named the "cinematic" system.: 342  Carella wrote Secret of the Ancients (2003) which was the final volume of the Odyssey adventures series from Eden.: 342  Carella also co-designed Eden Studios' RPG Terra Primate.
