Alternate Worlds

Alternate Worlds is a Magic: the Gathering memoir written by Brian Schneider, one of the game's early R&D leads, about the fun and merit of growing up a gamer.Note from the author:Consider Alternate Worlds a love letter to Magic: the Gathering, to gamers, and to anyone who woke up one day and thought, "I miss my friends."If I were to summarize why this book exists, I'd say that I got pretty fed up with the mass market cloning culture in the gaming industry and just wanted to make something that felt like the opposite of that.I wanted to create something that felt loved, just to do it, and Alternate Worlds is that creation.The book itself is a "Magic deck" of sixty short, delightful, stories -- all tales about lessons learned along the way.I'm grateful to be able to tell these stories, and I hope you enjoy them!All profits from Alternate Worlds will be donated periodically to nonprofit organizations of the highest need.
