Meet James, our game designer
Saturday, March 1st, 2008
Here’s James, one of our game designers:
James Wallis jumped at the chance to join Six to Start, since ARGs are one of the few areas of games design, or for that matter media, he’s not worked in yet. James is the former founder and director of Hogshead Publishing, where among other things he set up the journal of game design and criticism Interactive Fantasy, and won an Origins Award for his work on Nobilis. He’s been a TV presenter, managing editor of Bizarre magazine, a Sunday Times journalist, a movie publicist, and has written thirteen books. His card-game Once Upon a Time (Atlas/Trident, 1995) has sold a quarter of a million copies, and his rather silly RPG The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen has been published by MIT Press. Yes, that MIT Press.
At Six to Start he designs games, keeps a Sauron-like eye on product quality, holds the office high-score for Rez, and doesn’t update his blog (www.spaaace.com/cope) on company time.
