Author Information

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.

He is the co-host of the Rule of Carnage podcast, a weekly series examining tabletop miniatures game design.
