Unfortunately I was't able to get onto the 10 year anniversary thread during the allotted time. Right now I'm in a classroom at New York University where I am teaching a course in narrative theory for single player scenario designing. My students are hard at work on exercises and I'm... well, I'm goofing off! So I wanted to make sure I got my $.02 in, congratulating HGS on its extraordinary success.
Eight years ago I logged on here to upload my custom scenarios for AoE. Thanks to that opportunity, I was contacted by several game developers and have been a professional game writer and scenario designer ever since. Last year I was tapped by New York University to teach narrative theory in games... and here I am!
HGS has been a tremendous place for game enthusiasts like me to get their start, exercise their creative vision, test their mettle, and improve their skills. I have been challenged, annoyed, inspired, and forced to grow in new and important ways by my participation in this community.
HGS, if I can ever do anything to return the favor, just let me know! (I'm talking to you, Spiney!)
All my best wishes go with you for another awesome 10 years.
