Getting started

 

I have never made a game before. 

I have written a great deal. I have edited videos. I have blogged. I have designed robots. Lots of robots.

I have a family, two cats, and a willingness to try almost any food that's ever been put in front of me. 

But, I've never made a game before. I discovered modern games at a relatively late age. Growing up, we had Monopoly, Clue, Risk, Mouse trap, and half a dozen puzzles, but that was about it. It was not until my mid-twenties that I cut my teeth on Settlers, Ninja Burger, and discovered Board Game Geek. I've since become hooked, and have a running list of games that I want to get and play. 

Current game closet. Unfortunately, my family does not enjoy games as much as I do, so many remain in shrinkwrap for now. 

I think this is the natural progression of that enjoyment. Now that I've had a chance to enjoy so many creations, I want to add to the pool with something of my own. That does not mean I'm not intimidated. It's one thing to have an idea, but quite something else to actually execute it. To that end, I am very thankful to have found such a welcoming community. 

So, while the first step is scary, I'm glad I did it, and am happy to be on the journey with everyone. 

Cheers!
