Autor

Glenn Ford is the designer of miniatures games including Pukeapocolypse and Boarders and Black Flags as well as the regular developer on the games of his friend and Rule of Carnage podcast collaborator Mike Hutchinson. He runs an independent games publishing company, Man O' Kent Games and has successfully funded six Kickstarter campaigns, so far. Glenn lives in Deal, a small town with far too many castles in Kent in the UK with his wife, son and a disturbingly high number of games and toy soldiers.

Mike Hutchinson is an award-winning designer of miniatures games including Gaslands, A Billion Suns and Hobgoblin, and runs an independent game design studio called Planet Smasher Games. He is the co-host of the Rule of Carnage podcast, a weekly series examining tabletop miniatures game design. Mike lives in the inexplicably named village of Old Wives Lees in Kent, UK with his wife, Vanessa, and two daughters.
