EGX Rezzed: Hands on – Tracks: The Train Set Game

EGX Rezzed: Interview with Johnny Marshall and Liz Henwood (Mighty Tactical Shooter)

I get the impression that Johnny Marshall is happy to try things just to see if they work. Sometimes they don’t – and he is surprisingly frank on mistakes he’s made. But sometimes they do, and the development of Mig...
