Career
[edit]Tevis began his career in gaming as a "Man in Black" for Steve Jackson Games, demoing games from their catalog at conventions. He has also worked for Atlas Games in a similar capacity.
Tevis' original podcast, Have Games, Will Travel ran for more than one hundred episodes since the first in July 2005. A typical show featured Tevis' reviews of a handful of games. Have Games, Will Travel won an Ennie for Best Podcast of 2007, the first year that the category existed.
In Episode 111, released on June 23, 2008, Tevis announced that he would no longer be releasing full-length episodes of Have Games, Will Travel, though he would still be releasing the shorter For a Few Games More segments. His final episode of Have Games, Will Travel: For A Few Games More was episode 50, released January 1, 2010. Tevis maintains a "companion" blog to Have Games, Will Travel, called A Fistful of Games, where he presents his session overviews of various games.
From October 2006 to October 2009, Tevis co-hosted a new podcast with Brennan Taylor of Indie Press Revolution. The Voice is a house organ of IPR and presents updates on new products available and features reviews, interviews, and game design advice.
In October 2009, Tevis was appointed the new Chair of the Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts and Design (AAGAD), which administers the Origins Awards on behalf of the Game Manufacturer's Association (GAMA). He cited this appointment and other reasons for discontinuing his podcasts.[3]
