Fairly deep DM, I do believe in party wipes but try not to. Good story telling.
I like board games like betrayal, 7 wonders, dominion, tanto cuore, diplomacy, acquire, alhambra, iron dragon. I would like to clarify that I do -not- like Settlers of Catan. I like Magic (MTG) and will play standard, common, unhinged, but not Type II because at this point it's just too expensive. I would draft in a type II tournament though or if we played sealed decks. I play all D&D editions.
