    Jolly Jaunt Games

    A card and dice based game set in Jaime Buckley’s world of Wanted Hero.

    Each player begins with a random character and weapon, and has a different quest to fulfill. In each turn they visit different locations, where they may fight fierce foes, escape terrible traps, discover wondrous treasures, trade their findings, or recruit additional characters.

    A card and dice based game set in Jaime Buckley’s world of Wanted Hero.

    Each player begins with a random character and weapon, and has a different quest to fulfill. In each turn they visit different locations, where they may fight fierce foes, escape terrible traps, discover wondrous treasures, trade their findings, or recruit additional characters.

    Their ability to escape the perilous traps or win their opposing foes is determined by their own strength, the strength of their weapon... and a bit of luck from the dice roll.

    They play until they collect all the pieces needed to complete their quest and race to take them to “Til Thorin” to win the game.

    This process involved integration with developer and monitoring systems (such as TestRail and GitHub Enterprise), Reporting to our Biz Ops department (via customizations and API scripting), utilizing other Atlassian tools (such as HipChat, Confluence, etc.), and…

    This process involved integration with developer and monitoring systems (such as TestRail and GitHub Enterprise), Reporting to our Biz Ops department (via customizations and API scripting), utilizing other Atlassian tools (such as HipChat, Confluence, etc.), and ensuring a high level of security for our thousands of clients accessing the servers and services.

  • WHAT IF? (You were the hero)

    Like choosing your own path through a story? Would you like to be the hero in the ancient lands of Wanted Hero…at the height of the Dark Lord’s invasion plan? Well you can. Soon to be released as a phone app for iOS and Android as well as in print, the WHAT IF series will take you back in time and place the fate of the characters in your hands.
