Andrew Thornway's homepage
The homepage of games designer, writer and musician Andrew Thornway. You’ll find the latest news on The Dragon Tongue book series, occasionally a murmur or two regarding The Crystal Suite and maybe some talk of mayhem!

Many thanks Ronnie, Chris and co for a great day.
Brilliant, friendly atmosphere (everyone was very approachable), loads of finely painted miniatures, interesting seminars and there were plenty of gaming tables. Mrs. Thornway and myself got to have a play with Warpath, then DreadBall (which Mrs. Thornway won the trophy for first and only kill of the day (one of my human strikers. Pah!)).
Many thanks as well to the experts who kindly guided us gently through the rules – these games seem far more approachable / playable than others I’ve struggled with in the past. I was never really into gaming (unless it was on a Spectrum or console) way back when – I was far more taken with painting / converting the figures. I think it shows why Mantic are so loved as a company as their games are so player friendly and most importantly, fun.
If you didn’t go this year, make sure you get to the next one, you won’t regret it.
Here’s the new and improved cover for Rispin Quill, The Dragon Tongue…

As a bonus, here’s a version that was close to being used…
A bit more moody and mysterious!
I’ve been invited to Mantic’s open day this Saturday – many thanks Ronnie and co!

I hope to see you there!
I’ve updated some links here on the website – it’s much clearer now for those wishing to buy ‘Rispin Quill, The Dragon Tongue’ from Amazon.co.uk or the Amazon.com site.
For extra ease, here’s the UK Amazon link (I’ve used TinyURL so not to clog up the next page and a half)…

I hope this helps and I hope you enjoy reading it!
On Thursday I went to Hever Castle – it’s a beautiful place and well worth a visit.
While strolling through the gardens I spotted an unusual (for the UK) spider’s web.
A quick search later and it looks like I stumbled across the home of a Labyrinth spider.
I might have to add a funnel web to the next Dragon Tongue book. I’m sure Rispin Quill would be delighted to meet one of these beauties.
Thank you to Ronnie, Chris and the rest of the team over at Mantic Games for the kind shout out / recommendation regarding Rispin Quill, The Dragon Tongue in their latest mailout.
If you’ve just arrived on this site via Mantic’s link, thank you for taking the time to check the book out.

Some interesting news – it seems that Amazon is getting into the mobile phone market with insiders saying that Foxconn (who have some experience manufacturing phones, don’t they Apple?) will be gluing all the bits and bobs together.
The operating system? The leak says it’ll most likely be Android.
