Yep:) And shortly other people too…
Plug aside, I’d argue every designer who works in the field has design partners. If you fly solo then it’s the people who playtest, or play, your games. If you’re part of a company it’s the folks who build your covers, lay your books out, edit your work. This is like any other creative endeavor; it’s always, in the end, a team sport. I love that too, because it makes everyone better, lifts everyone’s game in the most literal and metaphorical way. So yes, everyone I’ve ever worked with and who has played something I’ve written. Thanks, folks!
Here’s my published work so far. If you want to talk to me about a project you’re hiring for, get in touch. Alternately, come say hi on Twitter and I’ll see you back here tomorrow.
