If you read the About page at all, you saw I mentioned that Space Daddy Games was created due to an urge to be more creative.  There are a lot of options out there to be creative though, so the question that has been asked by a few people close to me is, “Why games?”

Its a good question.  I have other creative pursuits.  I’ve got a bit of a knack for woodworking and have built a few pieces of furniture, so I could go that way.  I’ve played instruments most of my life, though only with mediocrity, so I could take up music.  I’ve written a lot over the years, so that could be an outlet as well.

So, why games?  Because of community.

Playing tabletop games has always been a part of my life.  I remember childhood games of Sorry and Life.  I remember running the first session of HeroQuest for my friends. I remember first getting to join the adults game table at family events to play cards, Rumikube, or Scrabble.  I remember the excitement of learning about roleplaying games for the first time.So many of my favorite memories are of playing games around the table with friends and family.

If I had to choose anything to put my time into, why not choose something that makes me happy, engages my mind, and gives me the opportunity to spend time with people I love being around.  Games seemed like the perfect solution.
