Hi everyone, I am Rick Smith and I am a professional game designer (currently under-employed). As well as helping on several other projects my major credits include being the Designer for Triple Play Baseball on the SEGA Genesis (EA Canada), Assistant Designer for Total Annihilation (Cavedog) and the Designer for TA: Battle Tactics (Cavedog).
Currently I am programming databases at local private college (the Center for Digital Imaging and Sound) which is ok work but does not stretch my love for game design. At times like this I tend to get a lot of work done on TFT.
Joe Hartley has kindly allowed me this space to put up various TFT rules that I've written. I am teaching myself HTML, XML and tons of other stuff, to this chance to practice is welcome. The links above should take you to a variety of TFT essays.
In my essays I will usually explain why I've changed a rule, and give a short introduction to the new rules before I start with the body of the essay. If you have any questions I can be reached at: rsmith@lightspeed.ca
