Board Game Nerd Alert! Forum
I look forward to meeting you and many fellow board game developers and designers. It's going to be a blast!
I've never thought of myself as a nerd or a geek but my photo begs to differ. Who knew? Hey, it's all in good fun. Nerds and board game geeks rule!
I had just started getting good clients in my home office when my divorce decree came into my life and hit me right between the eyes.
The details are probably typical of all divorces and it turns out my ex-wife and I have been back together for some time now.
Last Christmas my 2 boys got classic board games and we played Clue and Life, and all along I was thinking, "These games are pretty lame and not how I remember them when I was a kid."
So the light bulb went off and here I am a year later, deep into developing three board games. I have to say that I'm having the time of my life. I barely get any sleep and I look forward to working on my games every day, all day long. Yes, retirement does have some privileges.
For me it's not work. It's fun and a heck of a challenge trying to figure out the best game mechanics and graphics for each game. I really think I was born to do this because out of all the many design and copywriting jobs I've had over the years, this is by far my favorite.
I hope you will join me and together we can learn about this unique business and help each other along the way to making the best games in the world.
I'm committed to game development in a way I cannot explain. It's fun and it's addictive just as much as gaming is. And there's nothing else I'd rather do.
Join me today and together let's change Board Gaming for the better!
Play on!
I'm back to my game, Millennium. Working on my last tokens and a few of the cards.

BTW, I'm looking to interview on this blog any designer or developer who wants to talk about their games. Email me and let's have some fun with this!
