Howdy.
My story has a lot in common with other introductions that I've seen, so I'll skip to the fun/possibly unique parts.
1. I play ultimate (frisbee). My body type somewhat dictates that I "handle" mostly. Any other disc-lovers out there? There's also a bit of musical activity, as I'm competent on most instruments that would be in a modern rock band.
2. My first game is - from what I can tell - near the developmental stage wherein designers either create a Kickstarter campaign or sell to a publisher. AEG Games (my only appointment that weekend) seemed to like the game during the demo I gave at BGG-CON a few weeks ago.
A public beta is coming soon - basically once the artist can implement all the pedagogical elements of the rulebook that I'm insisting on, we can make the files available!
3. I'm here as part of a larger goal to become a great designer. Yesterday was the start of my self-study of game theory. I downloaded "The Compleat Stategyst" (sic) and am plodding through.
I am active on BoardGameGeek, and any other place where I can interact with players, designers, and publishers.
4. I play a LOT of board games. If you find me on BGG, check out my "plays"! (No link for the lazy :D )
See you in the intertubes!
