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.

They're the only wolverines I recognize.
Speaking of which, though I'm sure the re-make is going to be a turd, some of the promotional posters are pretty neat:
Anyway, I used to sport a Guile picture from SFII. I figure the fighting american was a pretty good symbol of the Ameritrash ideal. Plus, like classic AT boardgames, I prefer classic videogames. I switched over to the US Soccer crest for the World Cup. Been too busy/lazy to change it to anything else.
As far as the name. It's from an alias one of my Top Secret characters went by in the 80's. Silly yeah, but I went with it in the 90's when I first started logging on. I think Loter has some good points though.

Mine is just a screen shot from the classic computer game Frontier: Elite II rendered to look like a picture from a ZX Spectrum computer (although it's not that clear in such a small size).
That game is one of my all time computer games and Science Fiction is my favorite genre. I also love board games with a similar theme (space trading games) such as Merchant of Venus, so it made sense...
Before that and for a very short while I had an avatar showing the main character from the old ZX Spectrum game Maziacs. I really love that computer and still play many of its games (old and new).
BTW, lots of interesting posts... I remember the first time I downloaded the Jared app on my mac back around 1996. I couldn't stop laughing... The guy was supposed to be singing in Spanish but it was hilarious...
