Well I am about to embark on an exciting and, I must admit to myself, over ambitious attempt at a board game. Not just any simple roll dice and go around the board until the "end", but the much more complex type of board game enjoyed by gamers. I will be using several different platforms, many different rule systems, inventing a few rules that others will say "we don't do that", characters that some will like and some won't, and basically screw things up now and then. But I look forward to the enjoyment of creating something. It isn't even a necessity that anyone even play it. I'm doing this strictly for the joy of creation and to push myself to see if I can do this. I expect this endeavor to last me at least a year with all the research, oops, shit, fucks, test playing, embarrassment, and guts it will take to complete.

Found a website blog that is like a college course on game creation. From what I've read so far, it seems like not only a how to, but why and terminology and a lot more. I've started the first level and look forward to completing the course. The course was created by Ian Schreiber.

I've also found a cool website that I can create tiles. I've been playing around with that a bit and looking at how all the tiles fit together. It's been like working on one big jigsaw puzzle.

So while I haven't been blogging like I should be, I have been busy. Sometimes just thinking about this and how I would love it all to work out.

Happy Gaming everyone!
