Evil Magic Finger might have been one of the best games I ever designed -- it was one of those rare games where everyone in the studio, from the CEO to the interns, loved everything about and actually played it because they had a blast with it.

Trying out Dungeon Alchemist for some new maps; this is for my paid #candlekeepmysteries campaign, and the interior of the House of Binding. This was inspired by actual medieval bookmaking techniques. 😅

If my daughter rolls like this in Risk Legacy, maybe I should ask her to roll up my next D&D character?

I’m still trying to remember what this armor stat was for – I think I wrote this maybe, like, 30 years ago?
