Hi Everyone,
My name is Sean, im new to the forum (obviously) and relatively new to game board game design as well. ive been kicking a few ideas around for months now, and ive finally decided its time to buckle down, get some ideas on (and in some cases off) paper, and see what I can come up with.
Board games are a bit of a passion of mine. Love playing them, and was really into house rules and making varients for a while, which is what got me interested in board game design.
Right now I have a few projects in the works, spanning from card games to hex based miniatures games. The most notable at the moment are
A game of competing authors. A card game where there are "story" cards that have an element of a story (character, location, action, etc) in different genres and author cards. Players play cards into either their play area, or their opponents, trying to complete their story in the correct genre, using author cards to edit, or mess with the opponents stories.
And for anyone who has played Leviathans (or X-wing Minis). Ive got an idea kicking around my head to make more of a fleet combat game thats played on hexes, but captures the feel of the space combat from battlestar galactica. that is just an idea at the moment, but we will see where it goes.
So thats some of what im working on. im excited to read over some more of these forums and get talking with the ther designers (both new and old) here.
