My friends know that I’m the strange man who loves to cook and bake.

I’m sure many of you have already seen it or at least read lots about it in your Internet wanderings. And for your convenience, if you have the time, I’ve got it for you right...

A few minutes ago I clicked the “Launch” button over at Kickstarter.com, going public with an effort to raise the funds needed to go to press with my company’s very first sold-through-distribution product, a card game called Building An Elder God.
