Kennon (sometimes known as Will) is a 20+ year veteran of competitive cardgaming, with most of that dedicated to the A Game of Thrones card game. He was host of the 500+ episode White Book podcast for that game and author of numerous articles for CardgameDB and Fantasy Flight Games. Unfortunately, he could never quite clinch a championship and so, earned the "Championship Level Player" moniker, bestowed by FFG themselves. Formerly of the Golden Company, currently of the SWU-Tang Clan.
