This is (the beginnings of) a section on people in games and in the Toy and Game industry who are involved in capacities other than as game or puzzle inventors, game developers, puzzle makers or company CEOs. Included will be reviewers, licensors, consultants, illustrators and such. Names will be added to this section as the information is sent in to us. If you would like to be included, email us.
