GJJG Game Reviews are independent, unpaid reviews of games I, George Jaros, have played with my family and friends. Some of these games I own, some are owned by friends, some are borrowed, and some are print and play versions of games. Where applicable I will indicate if games have been played with kids or adults or a mix (Family Play). I won't go into extensive detail about how to play the game (there are plenty of other sources for that information and I'll occasionally link to those other sources), but I will give my impressions of the game and how my friends and family reacted to the game. Quick Reviews will only get a single rating of 1-10 (low-high) based on my first impressions of the game during my first few times playing. Hopefully I'll get more chances to play the game and will be able to give it a full review soon.
Return To Dark Tower Artist Revealed
Tabletop newcomer Qistina Khalidah will be
doing the illustration for Restoration Games’ upcoming Return to Dark Tower.
Sunrise,
FL – July 30, 2019. Today, Restoration Games announced Qistina Khalidah as
the artist for the highly anticipated Return
to Dark Tower. This game of epic adventure features design by Rob Daviau
and Isaac Childres, a mechanical cube tower, and an integrated app.
“We
want Return to Dark Tower to be a unique experience from top to bottom. So we developed
an original fantasy setting, free from the typical tropes of traditional
fantasy. We needed an artist with a unique voice to bring that setting to life,”
said Restoration Games owner, Justin D. Jacobson.
The
company’s Visual Restoration Wizard, Jason Taylor, said they looked at dozens
of artists before finding Khalidah through social media and her online
portfolio.
“We
knew immediately she was the right person for this project,” said Taylor. “Her
work is striking and elegant. Her style of combining patterns and evocative
poses with an almost illuminated somberness is perfect for the type of stories
we want to tell with Return to Dark Tower.”
Khalidah,
25, lives in Malaysia and, while new to the world of tabletop games, has been
doing freelance full-time for the past four years. She describes her style as a
“mix of realism, surrealism, and a touch of Art Nouveau.” (“Artists of Color”
Interview Series, https://www.art-by-mia.com/aoc/2018/10/28/artists-of-color-qistina-kalidah)
Her work has previously been featured on covers for a variety of books.
“It’s
a big opportunity to be working side-by-side with the team as the lead artist
for this project,” Khalidah said. “I look forward to designing the strange,
dark world of Return to Dark Tower.”
Restoration
Games are completing development of the game, which is scheduled to release
later next year, following a forthcoming Kickstarter campaign. They are
releasing some of Khalidah’s first images for the game at Gen Con in
Indianapolis, August 1-4.
