Hi, my name is Tom, and I’m a board game design addict. (I just have a really lazy addiction, becoming inspired about once a decade or so.) I self-published Prince of Chaos back in 2008, which was an educational experience that taught me more what not to do than anything else. I’m still suffering from PTSD in some ways. Only an idiot would return to try it again.
Hi, my name is Tom, and I’m an idiot.
But alas, we must all follow our muse down whatever rabbit hole (or off whatever cliff) she leads us. So here I am, freshly inspired, doing the same thing again but hoping for a different outcome (insert definition of insanity here).
Actually, this time I’m hoping to entice brilliant, savvy (and generous) established publishers to consider my games – one of which I am absolutely certain will be a tremendous hit! How can I know this? Because my WIFE likes the game! Seriously, that’s huge. You have no idea. And, it uses DICE! Hell, I HATE dice! I refused to let them come near Prince of Chaos, and vowed to never, ever, ever design a game which used dice. Yeah.
Damn you muse!
In playtesting, my wife already proved her superior dice-rolling prowess by rolling doubles 11 times to my 2 in one game! (I still beat her. Bwahahaha!) Okay, she beat me the very next game. But not because of better dice rolling! (Not sure I should be proud of that.)
Anyway, I hope to help others and get help in return on these forums.
Thank you for your support.
I do. (Though everything is still in MS Word draft form.) Still new to the forums here, so any advice on where to get started posting things for feedback would be welcome. Thanks!
