I'm matt and am completely new to this site and this whole world of gaming and cartography.

I stumbled onto a post on this site while looking for a fun father-son project for the summer. After wandering through the forums a bit, I was amazed at the artwork and intrigued to learn more about the games that they were created for. That has birthed a desire to create maps and game boards, and of course you can't adequately design a map or game board for a game style you've never played. Thus my addictive personality style has gotten the best of me, thanks to the wonderful artists on this site, and I blame all of you!

That said, I now ask for help. Either some form of intervention to wean me off of this new found interest, or some form of mentor to teach me everything there is to know about this stuff!

I (and my friends and family who've listened to me blather on about this for the past week) Thank You!
