About the Author
Italy-based designers Marco Maggi and Francesco Nepitello started collaborating on creative projects in the late eighties of the past century. In a career now spanning almost thirty years, they have created role-playing games, card games and board games for children and adults. They are especially known for games based on popular intellectual properties, like the Marvel universe, Doctor Who, Conan the Barbarian or the writings of H.P. Lovecraft. Their greatest achievements so far are tied to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien – Marco and Francesco have created some of the best-known games based of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Their love for deep and engaging fantastical worlds has led them to appreciate and explore Susanna Clarke’s masterpiece - Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. Ian O'Toole is an Irish graphic designer and illustrator working out of Perth in Western Australia. Focused primarily on tabletop gaming, Ian’s work combines his experience in concise visual communication with his flexible approach to illustration
