Hello! I'm Andrew and I'm...well, new here. I was a pretty casual board-gamer (Chess, Monopoly etc) until this summer when a game store opened up near me and I got WAY into all kinds of different board games. Its basically consumed my summer. Now, after playing so much, I have all these little ideas swirling in my head for games and I'm looking for an output and this seemed as good a place as any to start.

Little background on me, I live in North Carolina. I have a bachelor's degree in political science and journalism. I just got back from living in China for a year (I can stumble my way through most conversations in Chinese). I make most of my money currently as a professional photographer (I have a website and everything!). I think it'd be super cool to add 'board game inventor' to that list of stuff.

I look forward to talking to all of you!

game theme

hi Andrew, welcome on board
your background seems promising for for an aspiring game designer. For some time, I have been thinking about a game around politics and maybe journalism theme. It will center on a conceptual country who got rid of a dictator and all kinds of tensions, politics, ideas and newpapers supporting these are flying around. There is a big world war approaching. Players will play newspaper publishers/owners and will stop country go into war/prevent coup or support those. How is that for a game theme? Can you elaborate on game mechanic?

thanks and welcome again
