You can find me at GenCon every year! I love board and card games and have a collection of over 300. I knit, crochet, dye yarn, and occasionally try my hand at spinning (to mixed results).
My go-to movies are usually by Mel Brooks and Monty Python. But then there's also Clue and the Princess Bride. And Tarantino, always Tarantino. The Scream movies and Wes Craven's New Nightmare belong on the list, as well. Rise of the Guardians was a magnificient piece of world-building, and the Dungeons & Dragons movie with Chris Pine is a special sort of amazing.
I will forever love-love-love Beavis and Butthead. (Go ahead and sneer, Sir Patrick Stewart and I will be over here eating it with a spoon.) Rick & Morty, The Twilight Zone, and The X Files have heavy influence on me.
I love Gloom, because it's a story telling game. Of course. Big fan of Tokaido and National Parks; Villainous, Betrayal At Baldur's Gate, and Azul are also perenneal favorites. I especially love games that are beautiful to look at. Bonus points if there are cats.
