St. Paul, Minnesota – Earthborne Games is excited to announce the hiring of Maxine Newman as its new Lead Game Designer. Newman, formerly Senior Game Designer at Fantasy Flight Games is best known for her extensive design and development work on Arkham Horror the Card Game, which she co-designed with Nate French.
Newman will join the Earthborne Rangers design team where she will be an immediate contributor to products currently in development (such as the Legacy of the Ancestors campaign expansion). Once those products enter production, she will become lead designer on Earthborne Rangers and begin design and development work on future expansions.
“I’m overjoyed to have Maxine on board,” said Andrew Navaro, founder of Earthborne Games. “She’s a rare talent, and arguably the best narrative card game developer on the planet. I can’t wait to see what she does with the Earthborne Rangers game system and the narrative design. We’re all in for a treat.”
The hire comes on the heels of the successful Earthborne Rangers 2nd Printing Gamefound Campaign which has raised over $1.8M to date.
“I am beyond excited to be joining the Earthborne Games team alongside such amazing talent,” said Newman. “I can’t wait to get started crafting new content and stories for players to discover!”
The second printing of Earthborne Rangers and wave of expansions is scheduled to begin fulfillment at the end of this year.
