[QUOTE="Richards, post: 8968512, member: 508"] I also used to design and build board games on rare occasions, when my nephew was much younger. So far I've a board game designed around Godzilla/Gamera/other kaiju franchises, one based on Ultraman, and two separate board games built around the Skylanders console games. (I seem to have this bad habit of building my homemade board games around franchises with product identity I'm not able to use, which puts the real kibosh on me ever getting any of them looked at by a serious board game company.) I also built the "Superhero Harry" game for my nephew when he was a wee lad, which he helped me draw the board images for when he was about 5 years old, but even that reaches out to use product identity from "The Incredibles," so it'll just remain a board game that sees use in my own family and nowhere else. (Actually, I took that concept and stretched it into the family of one of my coworkers who had a lot of young children, so I made an identical game featuring versions of them based on DC superheroes for their copy of the game, which I gave to them for Christmas one year. But still unmarketable.) We still have a lot of fun getting them out every now and again, though. (Edit: I suppose this whole post is only "non-gaming related" if we assume we're just talking about non-RPG gaming. Otherwise, this whole post breaks the initial premise of the thread, for which I apologize.) Johnathan [/QUOTE]
