Hello from Albuquerque

Unread post by jon_bg »

Wow! I feel like I've stumbled into a whole new world. I could spend weeks absorbing all the content here and still not scratch the surface. Reminds me of how overwhelmed I was when attending GenCon for the first time.

I help run BoardGaming.com as a hobby (translation: a labor of love rather than something profitable), along with my brother and brother-in-law. Between the 3 of us, we have an illustrator, graphic artist, and web guy (that would be me). We've wanted to try a kickstarter for many years, especially after helping other game developers spread the news about their board games. We (mostly Greg) created a fantasy-themed deck of playing cards. After announcing our pre-launch, I was told about this forum. And now I am really kicking myself that I didn't find this place earlier. :)

I look forward to interacting here.

Welcome at UC.

Hi everyone, I'm the illustrator of the deck of fantasy themed playing cards jon_bg was mentioning. He let me know about this site and I'm amazed at all the depth! I'm fascinated with the history of playing cards and finding ways of incorporating that history into my artwork.
