Game Design
I began playing board games in college during the early 1980s though at that time I was very much caught up in the Dungeons and Dragons fantasy role-playing game craze. I began designing conflict simulation games ("consim games") in the late 1980s. My preferences run in the 1861 to 1945 time period. I submitted a number of designs during the 1990s, none of which were ever published. I regularly exchanged letters (yes, letters, not emails) with one publisher and they gave me helpful pointers. Publishers liked my historical research but my designs were both too crude and too derivative to be publishable. If you think of designing as being like learning to play an instrument, I was still hitting too many wrong notes. But slowly I got better at it and in November 1999 I received my first offer to publish. The game wasn't magnificent but it was pretty good. My second was accepted for publication in 2002 and it was much like the first, another designer's system transferred to a different topic - cover tunes to extend the music analogy. After that things just began to "click". My third published game was my first truly “original” game. I put “original” in quote marks because few if any designs are one-hundred percent original. Over the next decade sold an increasing number of designs, was nominated for many awards, won a few.

The Ultimate Board Game Table
I was destined to be stuck inside the house for essentially months, maybe more than a year, thanks to the COVID-19 global pandemic. It was the perfect time to redesign the basement. And there was nothing I wanted more than to host a board game night once again, inviting my friends over to share some refreshments and laughs as we spent the evening together. Half the fun is the games themselves, the other half is the excuse to catch up on everybody's lives. To facilitate the perfect game night, I needed the perfect game room, and THAT called for the perfect game table.
