I don't even play any video games beyond the odd racing game (I do love GranTurismo). I love the good old hex-and-counter wargames, both Euro and Ameritrash-style boardgames (Agricola is just amazing, but I suck at Power Grid in a big way), sci-fi-n fantasy, and historical miniatures games, and I've been playing role-playing games like D&D since I was 11.

Let's make this a geekier place!
