Illuminated Site of the Week
Back in 1980, when Steve Jackson Games was just a fledgling publisher, Elisabeth Zakes handled editing, playtesting, and the million other hats everyone at a start-up wears. She wandered away after a time, but now has returned!
This time, she'll be handling editing (she red-lined this very DI!) and playtesting/game development administration (aka all the paperwork Phil and the Dev Team generate to keep track of where they're at). Since we're no longer "fledgling," we'll let her get accustomed to those two duties before piling on the multitude of responsibilities everyone in a small company gets.
The more things change . . .

Warehouse 23 News: e23: It's All About Image
Need to "wow" some new players into your Ars Magica games? What you need is an exciting title. Like Return of the Stormrider, say. Just look at that beauty. Right at the start is "return." Where did this "stormrider" go, and why the heck did he leave in the first place? And what a great compound word "stormrider" is. "Storm," like a big scary thing, and "rider," like someone who could control a big scary thing. Which means that person is even bigger and scarier than the big scary thing! What a great book! Go play it right now!
