Jay Schneider is the CEO of Fire Opal Media, a concierge design company populated with many talented former Wizards of the Coast designers.
Jay also has been a lecturer at The University of Washington with a focus on game design, and has taught a powerhouse graduate-level curriculum on games for the last 15 years.
Beforehand, he was the Lead Designer on Duels of the Planeswalker, and also designed one of the most iconic early Magic: the Gathering decks of all-time — Sligh.
Jay & I hit a ton of rare air on this call, with rarely discussed subcultures coming in and out of conversation quite easily.
Fun times!
