Creator and Head Designer
Avid collector and traveller, Ian has been playing games for over 25 years. Growing up on Pokémon and yugioh, he eventually moved to Dungeons and Dragons, Warhammer, and plenty of board games. He got bit by the Magic: the Gathering bug in 2003 and has been playing ever since. In 2013 he opened The Island Games, a local game store and ran it until late 2019. While working, he came up with the idea of SpellArms and designed it around what he witnessed from his players and what he felt as a game store owner. It wasn’t until 2021, when he began to finalize SpellArms and pursue the game’s creation.
