Summary: In this episode…<br> <br> We are joined by artist/illustrator, Jacqui Davis! We were exposed to Jacqui as admirers of her illustration in Euphoria (Stonemaier Games), Belle of the Ball (Dice Hate Me Games), and Fidelitas (Green Couch Games). We love the style and color she expresses with her work and are thrilled to have her as the illustrator for our debut game, Aether Magic. The “logic fairy” was kind enough to give us even more of her time, calling in from her home in the UK for a friendly chat and a podcast episode we hope you enjoy.<br> <br> Jacqui lived in South Africa for the first ten years of her life.
