Chris Aylott is a game designer and freelance writer who has spent over ten years building systems and economic engines for tabletop, web-based and mobile games.

• education
• emerging markets
• game theory
• media studies
• player motivation
• playtesting
• political history
• roleplaying games
• serious games
• technology
• and anything else that might endanger a curious cat.

Chris’s LinkedIn page is here, and his Goodreads author page is there. A portfolio of past work is in progress and will be posted… someday.
