DEAR SECRET SANTA:

While my wishlist is up-to-date right now, it'll probably change by next Monday, Nov. 23. That's when I'll be back from BGG.CON, likely with a whole bunch of new games played, and ready for my wishlist. I will also do a bunch of good deeds, to make up for my decrepit lack of integrity and goodness that I've frequently exhibited throughout the year.

Wait, I wasn't supposed to mention that last bit. Crumbs.

Some more detail about me:

I'm a wannabe game designer and Euro fan living la vida durmiente in Northern New Jersey.

I used to be very into video games, and I wanted to design them myself. I decided to learn game mechanics through board games. I used to play Illuminati and Car Wars as a kid, so I fell back into gaming through "take-that" games and the New Jersey con scene (Ubercon, Dexcon, and the dearly departed Gazebo of Games).

I started a game group at my house, and played lots of "take that" and American-style games (hence their presence in my reviews and contributions). Eventually I started skewing towards Euros, and that's where my sweet spot is now. In retrospect, it's a miracle I didn't swear off gaming after my first experience with Munchkin.

As for designing... I might have some good news soon.

I don't even think about designing computer games anymore.
