I am a Kansas farm boy, currently living and working in rural El Salvador.
I am primarily a solo gamer. I do enjoy playing multiplayer games, but, since having moved away from those I used to game with, I have turned more and more to solo gamer. As I have grown in my life as a solo gamer, I have come to regard it super highly. No longer is it merely a poor substitute for multiplayer gaming, but, almost, a preference.
My main interest is heavier games that I can play solo. I am particularly fascinated by games with strong historical themes. My top 5 as of of the end of 2020 are:
- #Navajo Wars
- #1862: Railway Mania in the Eastern Counties
- #Pax Pamir (Second Edition)
- #Pax Porfiriana
- #Star Trek: Frontiers

Hello, and welcome to my profile! I am a game reviewer and content writer here at Board Game Atlas, as well as a rule book editor. I also own Board Game Immersion, a website for reviews, various types of videos, articles, and more. I am a certified copyeditor and love writing (and reading) in the fantasy and science fiction genres--the deeper the magic system, the better! My favorite movies are, of course, Star Wars (all of them), and my favorite book is Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson.
I love rugby as if it were my own flesh and blood, and I follow NHL hockey with a passion that my team--Calgary Flames--try to put out each and every season (one day we'll win the cup again...). I love watching Australian football (go Swans!) and I used to be on an actual, honest-to-goodness quidditch team (hey, it's a real thing!). I play ultimate Frisbee and was a stadium announcer for a professional team in the AULD.
I love board games (obviously) and have many favorites. Some of those favorites are X-Wing; Champions of Midgard; Heroes of Land, Air & Sea; Clank!; Tiny Epic Galaxies; Terraforming Mars; Flip Ships; and many more, mood depending.
I enjoy many hobbies and all things gaming including:
- board games (obviously)
- video games (console, PC, whatever)
- Role playing games of all stripes
- Painting miniatures
- assembling and painting model planes, tanks, cars etc
I'm an old person that has been playing boardgames for most of my life.
In these covid-lockdown days, I've been spending some time implementing games that amuse me in Tabletop Simulator. And not in the 'oh, look; one can manually manipulate the assets' sense; I'm trying to create a game experience that works aesthetically for me. Along the way, I've been trying to explore the way a user interface drives a game system; and I think the more recently implemented games are a bit cooler to play than the first ones I'd attempted.

Just a middle-aged guy who woke up to smell the cardboard a few years ago. I enjoy a variety of mechanics and themes, still experimenting and finding what I like. Thinking of dabbling in game design, we'll see what the future holds!
Checking to see if this is any upgrade to BGG's community that has their holier-art-thou crowd with their superficial prescriptive and judgemental attitudes.
