Jason Rider
Jason Rider is the author of the successful children's fantasy novel series The Uncommon Adventures of Tucker O'Doyle from Bellissima Publishing.
An avid mountain biker/ racer, his passions include anime, reading and of course game playing.
“It seems, like most people, I’ve played games for as long as I can remember. From Old Maid to Monopoly, Connect 4 to Scrabble, games have been a staple at gatherings from very early on. Things didn’t get interesting until I discovered Hero Quest back in the early 1990s. The fantasy element and rich gaming experience paved the way for what would become years of similarly themed game obsession.
These days my time is divided between authoring fantasy novels and emersion in the rich gaming universe that focuses on the genre. Fantasy Flight Games’ epics rank among my all time highest regarded: A Game of Thrones, War of the Ring, and Warrior Knights are examples of my definition of the epitome of the ultimate board gaming experience.
I hope to provide thorough and engaging board game critiques for The Dice Tower as a means of gratitude for the invaluable wisdom it has provided in my own gaming purchases throughout the years.”
