Welcome to one of the oldest board game communities on the Internet. That may sound like hyperbole but it really is true.
We are really happy to have you here. Unfortunately, being online we can't bond with you over a game so you'd know right away how happy we are to meet you. For now, you'll just have to take our word for it.
This site has always thrived on lively discussion and spirited but civil debate. We hope that newcomers here will find a welcoming atmosphere where game enthusiasts of all levels of experience and commitment will have something to add to the conversation. You never need to prove your “gamer cred” here. Whether you have been playing board games for a few months or a few decades; whether you have a huge collection or a small one; whether you have been a member here for years or just joined today – your opinion is valued here.
We know that it can be intimidating to jump into a new community and want to assure you that this is NOT the kind of forum where people will tell you that you posted something in the wrong place, or that you should have found an existing thread on the topic, or that you shouldn’t have resurrected an old thread.
So if you find a thread or an article discussion that interests you, whether it is old or new, feel free to jump in. Want to discuss a specific game or board gaming related topic just start a new topic. If you don’t know which forum to put it in, just make your best guess (we really don’t care all that much. It’s easy enough for a moderator to move it or merge it, if necessary).
A good place to get started is by introducing yourself in the “New Members Introduce Yourself” thread (below) or by telling us what you have been playing in the “What BOARD GAME(s) have you been playing?" thread ( therewillbe.games/forum/35-mos-eisley-ca...ave-you-been-playing ).
Have fun, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Everything old is new again with the redesign!
And if a relative veteran like LilRed can step up with his 117 posts. I'll do the same from my weanie pile of 24 or so.
My name is Todd. And I'm an AT-holic.
... and recovering compulsive game aficianado. Well, recovering with a lot of backsliding. Ok, I don't even try to contain my hobby.
I'm from Mineapolis.
Wife, 8yo son, house in the city. Cabin in the woods.
I am He Who Makes the Email Flow! for a living.
Games: 70s typical stuff. D&D. Trival Excess in 80s/college. 90s *vacuum* and back to boxes of risk/monopoly/clue littering the floor.
No I don't 'get' MtG. Went right past me at the time.
Rediscovered my inner gamer ~4yrs ago. Wandered the EuroDesert for almost two years, before discovering F:AT and finding the FUN.
When I'm not playing, or pimping-out games, I collect goofy Tiki junk, substantial quantities of oddball caribbean rums and mixers, and have an unhealthy obsession with Hawaiian shirts. Oh, and too many guitars and other stringed instruments.
And once in a very long while, my wife doesn't complain about the space all of the above take up around the house.
Generally after one or two Demerara Dry Floats.
I hath lurked F:AT for a year or more before posting. And I intend to continue to lurk and post from the periphery. So like it or lump it. And I will _not_ cut down the ridiculous length of my run-on posts. Nor will I stay on topic. It's all part of my distinctive character. Er something.
Enjoy!

I am Chris; long-time lurker.
37-year old lover of ameritrash, dogs, snowboarding, basketball, video games, sci-fi and silk underwear.
I am a social worker though I currently do more recreational therapy with adults with brain injury and MS. Live in Denver and have been married to a strictly party-game only aficionado for about 2 years (need to work on that). Have a 3 legged mastiff and a rottweiler mix for children.
Very entertaining site that y'all have here. Update only makes it better, although how do you improve on perfection?
Thanks Uba for putting up a topic that got my ass in gear to finally post here. I look forward to having a more active involvement in the site in the future.
Thanks in advance for listening. I think you guys rock btw.
