Over the years I’ve collected positive comments and bits about my work appearing elsewhere on the internet. People like hearing positive feedback about their work. Here you can read what others have been saying about my game creations.
I’m particularly flattered that people use my Panzer Kids introductory World War II tank game to introduce children and newcomers to the miniature wargaming hobby, engaging them in both gaming and history. Several have written online about their experiences with Panzer Kids:
“HAWKS Host Test Game for Alzheimer’s Patients” – A gaming club based in Maryland used Panzer Kids to engage Alzheimer’s patients through basic problem solving, motor skills moving tanks on the battlefield, and visual stimuation.
Wargaming blogger John Yorio offers several posts about Panzer Kids on his 54mm or Die blog, but “Panzer Kids! Eastern Front Edition” gives a good idea how much fun families can have, with some good photographs of the battlefield set up.
Russell Philips, a gaming and military history writer in the United Kingdom, offered insights in a “Panzer Kids: Review” after playing it with their daughter.
Readers also leave compliments on my online sales pages for various games.See what people have said about my game publications over the years, arranged by publication:

“This is 108 pages of pulp goodness.... You can easily adapt this to whatever pulp system you are using.”
– Wes S., DriveThruRPG review
“One of my favourite pulp(y) settings.... The setting has everything you could wish for. Beaches, Zombies, evil Nazis, island hopping, dog fights, intrigue, high adventure and memorable characters. Heroes of Rura-Tonga is two fifths background material and three fifths adventure. Perfect combination for me.”
– Frank R., DriveThruRPG review

“The author designed Panzer Kids to let grownups run tabletop miniatures battles featuring the most iconic armored vehicles of WW2 for their little gamers as young as 7.
