Hello!
Just signed up today, following some links from BoardGameGeek. I'm a computer science major and aspiring game designer, and long time fan of board games. I'd always toyed around with game mechanics and variants, but never really seriously considered the idea of trying to publish something until a Technical Writing final group project, involving making a board game, proved that it's possible to make even a simple game that can turn out to be surprisingly fun. I'll probably share that concept, along with my own ideas, at some point.
Some of my favorite games include Space Alert, Diplomacy, and Battlestar Galactica. I'm a huge fan of cooperative games, time travel, 4X, and social/secret identity type games; I currently have two ideas involving combinations of those elements on the backburner (making time travel work in a board game is tough!), and a co-op empire building game that I'm currently working on and that I'm most excited about.
I look forward to exchanging feedback with fellow designers, and learning more about producing board games!
