SPECIAL GUESTS: Skräll, Paul R. Smith and Anthony Pendleton, the designers of Skräll, have agreed to come along on our cruise and run games of Skräll, . Playing with the designers should be a lot of fun! Paul Smith is also a video game script writer. One of his most popular games is the award winning “Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter”. If have a copy, bring it along and he’ll sign it for you. His most infamous project, and possibly his most difficult and long-term venture to date, is that he is married to me, Kimberly Maita! HA!
