This picture captures so much of me. The Alliance hoodie, my partner Chelle, the camera around my neck, the D&D t-shirt, and my love of travel.

Tabletop Games

Quarriors

A deck-building game using dice. Roll the dice and spend your resources to capture creatures from the wilds to use against your opponents and gain Glory to win.

This long-running tabletop series spans video games, novels, board games, and pen-and-paper RPGs now. This was my first pen-and-paper and remains my favorite game world out there. Magic and technology together. Hoi, chummers.

Dominion

A classic deck-building game where it's a race against your opponents to gain the most prosperity before all the land is bought up.

Mysterium

A new release that quickly became one of my favorite games. One player plays as a non-talking ghost communicating through dreams to a group of psychics trying to solve the ghost's murder.
