By day (and night, far too often) I'm the Operations Manager at Digital Motorworks.

Most of the rest of the time I'm with my family or gaming, or thinking about gaming.

Currently playing a 14th level Shifter Paladin in a 4th edition DnD campaign. I'm also just starting to run a campaign of my own.

Willing to play boardgames whenever I can find people willing to lose to me :)

comment How to Measure Luck vs Skill in Games?
@SevenSidedDie I disagree, to me, the root of this is a fundamental problem that boardgamers face. IE, did I win because I was lucky or was it my mad skills?

comment Why do cards have different rarity levels in Magic: The Gathering?
Hey Max, welcome to B&CG. I've trimmed your answer as it kinda transitioned from being an answer to the question posed to more of a rant. There was also a fair amount of profanity there, which is not allowed on this site. Please take a moment and peruse our faq when you get a chance. Thanks!

comment Can the pirate be placed on the edge of the board?
@user1873 - "When a terrain hex borders on the sea (i.e., a frame piece), it is called a “coast.” You can build a road along a coast. " This counters your strict interpretation that roads cannot be placed on the edge border.

@user1873 - note that the Almanac defines Coast so that roads/ships/cities can be built between land hexes and the frame by the rules as written.
