The Play's the Thing

Eran Aviram is editing, writing, designing and communicating gaming

My games My Articles

Hey there! My name’s Eran, and since around 2001 I’ve been working with gamers and games.

My main purpose is to turn more people into players, and then give those players the tools that will help them enjoy their games more. I am best utilised as a creative writer or as an editor – I have a critical eye, mostly for clear phrasing and concise explanations, and a passion for high-quality presentation.

For the things I do and my contact details, see here.
