Thanks for asking. I’m proud to be a part of that lineup. As for the legends surrounding you, I’ll have to get around to ensconcing those at some point in my gaming industry tell-all.

Actually found it here, with the ebook versions for free. Thanks again for the reminder, James.

Pish tosh. Legendary by osmosis, maybe. I surround myself with legendary, and the legendariness rubs off on me.

Speaking of which: Thanks for contributing a great essay to the book, Matt.

I don’t have a copy of that book yet, but thanks for the reminder. I should pick it up soon.

From the sound of it, there’s a similar essay to yours in Greg Costikyan’s recently released ‘Tabletop: Analog Game Design’ (I forget the author, the book’s lying by my bed right now). Have you had a chance to read it? Any thoughts?

If you use an e-reader, I recommend the PDF, which is only $10 and doesn’t require shipping.

But right now $12 shipping is looking a bit rich for my blood.
