Hello BGDF community!

I'm witnessoftruth, or Dave if you prefer the familiar. I am from the USA, though "home" is on the road most of the time. My job allows for a lot of freedom, and I use that freedom to travel the country with my wife and children.

I have recently gotten excited about game design after some intense research in my efforts to help my young daughter create a game for her friends.

As I researched I found myself dragged in to the point that my own ideas began to run rampant. I am used to creative projects, but have never delved into game design.

I am a freelance writer/editor by trade and that eats a lot of my time, but the idea of designing a game in my (limited) free time appeals to me. I hope to be able to contribute in a meaningful way here as I learn the ropes and allow the ideas to incubate.

Have a great day all, thanks for reading my introduction.

If you're still in research mode, I've organized a ton of resources at www.boardgamedesignlab.com. You might find it helpful.

You will fit right in! Like you many people who pursue board game design are "hobbyists" and they do it for the enjoyment of the journey and love of the craft. I think on the inside we are all in it mainly to see a game we designed "in print" and see it played and hopefully liked... and if we make some money a long the way that would be great too :)

Welcome to the fun! Always remember to think outside the box so that your games will fit inside.

Welcome and good luck with your project Dave :)

If you're anything like me you'll find your free time will become no-existent between work, family and design (plus playing the occasional board game!).
