Alternate Worlds

By Brian H Schneider

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.
