Lewis Errol (Lew) Pulsipher (born January 22, 1951) is a teacher, game designer, and author, whose subject is role playing games, board games, card games, and video games. He was the first person in the North Carolina community college system to teach game design classes (fall 2004). He has designed half a dozen published boardgames, written more than 150 articles about games, contributed to several books about games, and presented at game conventions and conferences. == Early work == Pulsipher graduated from Albion College (Albion, MI) in 1973, and earned a Ph.D. in military and diplomatic history from Duke University (1981).〔 He discovered strategic gaming with early Avalon Hill wargames. In college, he designed many ''Diplomacy'' variants; while living in England in the late 1970s he wrote magazine articles about ''Dungeons & Dragons'' (''D&D''), and other role-playing games, and at one time or another was Contributing Editor to ''Dragon'' magazine, ''White Dwarf'', and ''The Space Gamer'' as well as a columnist for ''Imagine'' magazine. He also contributed monsters to TSR's original ''Fiend Folio'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = Pen & Paper )〕 including the Elemental Princes of Evil, denzelian, and poltergeist. He published what may have been the first science fiction and fantasy game magazine, ''Supernova'' (later sold to Flying Buffalo Inc.), as well as other non-commercial magazines. He made presentations at game conventions as early as Origins 82. He also designed several games published mostly in the 1980s. He is the designer of ''Dragon Rage'', ''Valley of the Four Winds'', and ''Swords & Wizardry''.〔 His game ''Britannia'', was described in an ''Armchair General'' review as "one of the great titles in the world of games", and is the progenitor of a series of similar games. He received the 1987 Charles S. Roberts Award Nomination, Best Pre-World War II Boardgame, Britannia for this game.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = Board Game Geek )〕 He teaches college-level computer networking, Web development, and game design in North Carolina.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lewis Pulsipher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
