Independent studio potter from Appalachia—most of the time it's enjoyable work. Enjoy cats, hammock naps, making homemade pizza, playing games with friends, flying kites.

I never played SW1, but I discovered SW2E around the time it came out via SU&SD. Love the game, though most/all of my playtime tends to get consumed on the playtesting end of the game.

It feels like it changes as new decks come out. I like SG a lot, they just have so many different strategies and wild tricks to draw on. In general, factions that have some variety within their playstyle appeal to me.

Probably go back in time and put the Master Set through more rigorous testing. It came out well enough, but there are definitely elements of design disparity. Champion values (Miti Mumway, FK champions), VG in general, PD's Ram stuff (it got errata'd, but the point stands).

Hansa Teutonica might be my overall favorite board game for more than 2 players. Video games, I play a bit of Smash Bros (Ultimate), and otherwise mostly indie titles. Been playing Siralim Ultimate off-on since it was in Alpha.
