Here is the article in it’s entirety.About the Author: As you do not know me, I am the Chief Designer for Chaturanga Concepts, a new gaming company. In June 2001, we are releasing a supplement that I designed for “Maul of America,” the zombie boardgame by Jolly Roger Games.

From the pages of Critical Hit, the Wanna Be emerges! I had been posting on the Critical Hit forum this little column for a couple months now.
