Hi!

I'm GManAvalon, or the Moss Tank. I've been playing games since I was old enough to put cherries in a bucket, but I was introduced to hobby games by a friend 13 years ago. Since then, sitting around a game table with friends has been my favorite way to spend time, and I've slowly grown to also enjoy playing games online with other awesome BGBers. I play a little bit of everything except 18XX (yet...), and I mostly like trying new strategies. Winning's great, but if I've won the same way two or three times, I'm moving on to test something else.

I also love writing, and when I get bored I have been known to write anything from poorly-received game reviews to Twilight Imperium fiction. I've DM'ed a homebrew D&D campaign for an awesome group for almost 5 years now, which has allowed me to let out my artistic side in voice-acting, mini-painting, and map drawing. I'm a Texan, but I'm currently living in East Tennessee with my amazing wife and five pets.

Play games with me on...

Tabletop Simulator as SplinterBlade
Board Game Arena as GManAvalon
Tabletopia as GManAvalon
Yucata as GManAvalon
Boiteajeux as GManAvalon676 (stupid site messed up my login)
