Time is tight this week on the Pencil & Dice blog, but I thought I'd throw out a sneak peak for AEG's Thunderstone. This is a cool fantasy card game that I got to play a few times over the weekend. I'll give it a review later this week.
I love history, mythology, and games. My favorite projects allow me to mix them liberally and turn readers onto something new and different. When it comes to games, players ought to do more than roll dice, flip a card, or move a piece – they ought to feel immersed. I look for this in my favorite pastimes and I bring this attitude to the table and my work. This blog features my thoughts and experiences about the games I play and my contributions to the hobby.
