Tom Wham

Tom Wham is a designer of board games.

He's primarily known for the games he wrote for Dragon Magazine, which were printed on cardstock included in the centerfold of the magazine. The games usually featured comical storylines and interesting crude artwork.

Notable games published this way include:

The Awful Green Things 

A game of green aliens invading a spaceship. Eventually published as a separate game by TSR, Inc. and eventually (and still to this day) published by Steve Jackson Games.

Snit's Revenge 

A game of little creatures (Snits) who finally want to kill the giant elephantine Bolotomi who are smashing them. Also a boardgame by TSR.

King of the Tabletop 

A game in which people create their own kingdom from little cardboard chits representing land, characters, and events. Very similar to Magic: The Gathering in gameplay, and is thought by some to be a major inspiration for it. Also published as Kings and Things by West End games.
