Lewis Pulsipher

Dr. Lewis Pulsipher (Wikipedia: "Lewis Pulsipher"; "Britannia (board game)"; "Archomental" ) is the designer of half a dozen commercially published boardgames. His game "Britannia" is described in an Armchair General review "as one of the great titles in the world of games." He has over 17,000 classroom hours of teaching experience including teaching video game design and production, and over 20 years of part-time graduate teaching experience.

He contributed to the books "Tabletop Analog Game Design," "Hobby Games: the 100 Best," "Family Games: the 100 Best, "and is a contributor and "expert blogger" on Gamasutra.com. His "Game Design" book focuses on practical advice for beginning game designers, about how you actually create and complete game designs. His latest published game is the 2011 reissue with additions of "Dragon Rage," originally published in 1982.

Lew has a Ph.D. in military and diplomatic history from Duke University, from ancient days when degrees in media, computer networking, or game design did not exist--nor did IBM PCs. In 2012 he was a speaker at the East Coast Game Conference, PrezCon, Origins Game Fair, and World Boardgaming Championships. Long ago he was contributing editor for White Dwarf and Dragon magazines.
