Glad to be a new user here, there is lots of valuable and fun information! My name is Chad Russell and I have been designing board and card games for about the last 20 years as a hobby.
I have started Russell Games Facebook page to share the many projects over this time with friends. All the games are in a completed, play ready form with the exception of the latest, "Silvanus" and a few games missing proper rules.
My goal is to give feedback to fellow designers here when I can, share my finished games, and get any suggestions for the long running WIP game of Silvanus.
Art and writing have also been a passion which I try to incorporate in game designs as well.
I am usually busy at my full time job but hope to be active here whenever possible. Thank you in advance to those who took the time to read this introduction.
Hello!
Chad,
It's great to have a new member to the forum, especially one with 20 years of experience. Many of us have dabbled with game design, while others may have expertise in other areas of the industry. Again, welcome and we'll look forward to your contributions.
Cheers,
Joe
Welcome to the Group Chad. :)
Great to have someone with 20 years of exp and play-testing is an awesome resource.
Glad you are here! It impresses me the level of experience people have on the board. I'm looking forward to learning a lot.
Could you pm or post a link to your facebook page. I looked for it, but wasn't sure which one you were.
Thanks!
I feel welcomed Eberhardt and IcePeddlerGames, thank you! Looking over Steps and Stumbles at the moment, and the sensitive game idea by you Eberhardt. Take care
Appreciate that Joe. As stated, i have made dozens of games playtested by friends, family and acquaintence but haven't sought out publication yet. Not sure if that counts as experiance though. I believe joining this group has helped refine that process and i can reach the goal of releasing something, even if only pnp.
Thank you again,
Chad
