Games are a phenomenal way to bring about community. Despite their often competitive nature, it is surprising to see how quickly strangers can bond when they have a set of common rules and a goal in mind. It’s a double win when that same game comes FROM the community.

Edmonds Community College Professor, Composer, and all around Boardgame Geek Nick Sibicky is having his breakout game King’s Forge released this month via Game Salute and we’re excited to announce that Round the Table will be hosting its launch party the evening of the 23rd of August–that’s less than two weeks away! Not only will there be “All You Can’t Eat Pizza” provided by our neighbors at the Little Caesars of Lynnwood, but 15% of all King’s Forge sales we make will be going to a charity of Nick’s choice. Did I mention that you’ll be able to meet Nick in person and get your game autographed? And who knows, maybe he will even let you play the prototype of his next game…

Tim Morgan

When Tim Morgan told his high school guidance counselor that he wanted to publish games for a living, the response was a clueless, “Uhhhh, you’ll probably want some college then.” Twenty-five years later, while still not publishing games for a living, he has made games his life -- over twenty years as the manager of a game store in Seattle, playtester of more RPGs and board games than you can shake a stick at, and small-press publisher of several games and even more novels. And now, co-owner of the ‘Round the Table Game Pub in Lynnwood. He currently lives in Everett, WA, where he is the caretaker of four (no, five!) lolcats, the oppressive taskmaster of a teenaged daughter, and the devoted husband of a wonderful author. His latest work is Ellis: Kingdom in Turmoil, a full RPG rules system and setting, detailing a low-fantasy world where religion is king and morality matters.
