Ok, I'm reading the book (well, listening to the audio book, which is aimed at kids but has radio show production value), so I guess now I'm obligated to throw my Dæmon into the ring. Do your worst.

A blog about MicroProse's Magic: The Gathering PC game

Shaldandar.com is devoted to the long since abandoned 1997 computer game. The website includes everything necessary to get the game runing on a modern computer, a fair sized collection of Type 1, 1.5 and 2 decks, and then spends most of it's ongoing effort to discussions of building new decks with these old cards.

If you've been here in the past you'll want to take another look at the Installation Instructions, they have been significantly improved, especially for Windows XP.

Dragon Duel Board

My senior thesis project at Hampshire College was this board game. Originally conceived in 1995, this game began with a circular cloth gameboard. It really hit it's stride when I introduced the life stones and a deck of combat, spell, and maneuver cards based on Tarot Cards.

A renewed interest in board gaming in 2006 has pulled this game off the shelf. The development blog is up and running for me to share new rules, spells, and playtesting results. I am also toying with the idea of self-publishing.

WizardsDuel.com

This one's dormant at the moment. The website has an ancient JavaScript prototype of a game that I built during college, but it may not work in modern browsers.

I toyed briefly with designing a physical board game during February and March of 2004, going as far as building a game board and illustrating a deck of animal cards.

The game has come up at least once since then, when I had an idea about a movement system that didn't pan out. Some day I'll figure out the mechanics to achieve the flow of play that I have in mind, but in the meantime I'm focusing on other projects, like Dragon Duel.
