Bruno has been active in the wargame community for years. He has been involved in the design and play testing of several wargames.Coldfoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636345146138362966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-1162577762852526552006-11-03T10:16:00.000-08:002006-11-03T10:16:00.000-08:00Let's see.

The San Antonio Boardgamers contains:<BR/><BR/>Brian Bankler - Geek of the Week alumnus and blogger of Tao of Gaming fame<BR/><BR/>Patrick Christenson - co-designer and co-publisher of Hunting Party (Patrick moved away recently, but I'm still going to claim him as one of us)<BR/><BR/>Before I moved to Texas from Tennessee, I judged a large number of large Magic tournaments<BR/><BR/>We all blog at our BGIA-nominated blog (http://saboardgamers.blogspot.com/) and even though a lot of the posts are in the "Hey, who's gonna be at Brian's tonight?" vein, we also post several decent session reports and other game-related things.<BR/><BR/>There's a game prototype we're currently playtesting, but I'm not sure exactly how hush-hush it is so I'll not say any more about it.<BR/><BR/>I think many groups will have at least some Game Related Activities, especially with blogging being so easy.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14450772747603358381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-1162576397642613422006-11-03T09:53:00.000-08:002006-11-03T09:53:00.000-08:00Kris, I suspect your game group isn't all that unu...Kris, I suspect your game group isn't all that unusual. Okay, I take it back, any group with both Ted AND Charlie is pretty strange. But in the way you mean, I bet there's plenty others like it.<BR/><BR/>Here's a rundown on my group, the DC Gamers. It includes:<BR/><BR/>Jason Matthews and Ananda Gupta, co-designers of a multi-award winning game (Twilight Struggle);<BR/><BR/>Christian Leonard, who is working with Jason on a follow-up game;<BR/><BR/>Alan Ernstein, co-owner of Hangman Games, which produces all his games, including such noted designs as Tahuantinsuyu and Ars Mysteriorum;<BR/><BR/>Kurt Adam, the other Hangman co-owner, who was also an early writer of the German game scene;<BR/><BR/>Marc Houde and Shawn Metcalf, who operate a small games publishing company (Omni Gaming Products);<BR/><BR/>And me. I've designed some games, write a weekly column for Boardgame News, and have contributed to Counter and Gamers Alliance for many years.<BR/><BR/>Our ex-members are just as impressive:<BR/><BR/>Ben Baldanza, IGA jury member and Counter reviewer, who's been a notable name in the industry for well over a decade;<BR/><BR/>Anye Sellers, game publisher (Dancing Eggplant Games).<BR/><BR/>At one point, we really did all game together!huzonfirsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12857915477472022870noreply@blogger.com
