Credits Page, Episode 10: Alex Flagg, Live from Dreamhack Dallas

A few months back I got to talk with Ed Healy of Gamerati; you may know them as distributors and troubleshooter-extrodinaires linked to Crafty Games and Sean Astin’s upcoming Grimmerspace. Ed invited me up to take a look around when some of the groups they represented hit Dreamhack in Dallas. It was a heck of an experience and while there I got to meet with game creator, Alex Flagg of Crafty Games, the creators of Spycraft and Mistborn! I want to thank Ed Healy for the invite and Alex for the chance to talk about his games!
