All credit for this go to Geoff and his efforts to bring this to life. He is a well-known game designer with dozens of published games and founder of the podcast Ludology (no longer an active host after 100s of episodes) that posits that Games are worthy of study.

He is also a co-founder of the TTGDA (https://www.ttgda.org/) that aims to be a guild like resource for designers. It is his connections that got this into Barnes & Nobles. Also of note, the TTGDA has recently convinced B&N to list game designers on all detail pages and search results in the same way they do today for books and writers. He also runs a free newsletter called GameTek (https://gametek.substack.com/) that is a continuation of an old podcast format he did where he does deep dives on specific games and game concepts. In short, he's awesome.
