Still working on the Quarries of Scred column. It's an interesting game and I don't think I understand all of the elements in it yet. I might post something else from the book in the meantime. I'm also waiting to put up a fairly large interview with the Digital Eel guys, makers of the several wonderful Strange Adventures in Infinite Space games. There's a fairly ridiculous article on those in the book by the way....
The StoryBundle succeeded very well, from what I told. A total of $2592 was raised for the Prisoners Literature Project. The bundle sold above-average for StoryBundle, I'm told. The @Play book can still be purchased by itself from Amazon and itch.io.
I'm working towards getting it up in more places, but it turns out you can only direct-publish on Apple's iBooks if you have a recent Mac (Mavericks or later), or go through an aggregator! And Google's Play bookstore is temporarily not accepting new submissions.
A collection of John Harris' various columns, articles and other game-related writing.
Hi John, I just finished reading the collection (literally) and thought I'd take a moment to thank you for your @Play columns over the years. When I saw that there was an @Play collection in that story bundle, it was an instabuy for me. I really enjoyed reading through it and wanted to let you know. As a NetHack addict back in my university days (around '89/'90) an ST Rogue player, more-or-less current DF-er, etc., I've enjoyed these games for a long time. Reading your thoughts, observations, design notes, on the genre has been great.
