Worlds to play in

The world we live on is round, but flat earths are more fun. There you can blow up kittens, kill Dr Lucky, conquer the galaxy, or just buy a hotel in the Old Kent Road. Dave Morris (Dragon Warriors, Fabled Lands) and Nick Henfrey (Spacefarers, Lord of Light) have been designing games together since Jimmy Carter was President. We've worked for Games Workshop on boardgames and RPGs and we have designs and prototypes cramming every shelf. We're going to share our ideas with you and we hope you'll chip in with suggestions, criticisms, and opinions of your own. Think of it as a boardgames café only you have to bring your own joe.
