Hello BGDF

Hi,

Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello :)

My name is Matt and I'm from the UK. After the usual childhood board games, lots of teenage Games Workshop and quite a number of years away, I have gotten back into table top gaming in the last few years.

Starting out with Death Angel, Agricola and Carcassonne. This has spiraled out of control and I now have a good collection of dungeon crawlers, card games, deck builders and a few others. I also found out about KickStarter...ooops.

Having always been creative from amking films, writing comics I naturally was drawn to designing my own games. I started my first one about 2 months ago - a War of the Worlds themed deck building and exploration game. Rather than focusing on the larger human/martian conflict, it looks at an individual characters challege of evading the martians and surviving. I was thinking about posting more about this in a design journal article.

I have now added a few more games to my ideas list, some more fleshed out than others (and some probably to be scrapped as they already exist!) -

* A chicken farming game where you have to raise different chickens for different colour eggs for different customers at a farmers market.

* A steampunk themed mini dungeon crawler based on deck of dungeon tile cards to explore, token draw bag for enemies, events deck and few dice for fighting. The lower your life, the fewer dice you roll for combat, and need to rest to recover them.

* Wrestling card game with 'crowd support' mechanism you need to get them on your side before you can tee up your finishing moves and pin your opponent.

* A lighthouse/siren/mermaid/fisherman lore tower defence style game (after watching 2019 The Lighthouse film recently)

That's enough rambling for now. Hope some of that might be a little interesting :)

Take care, cheers

Matt
