Doing game design has always been something I really enjoyed spending my free time on… so it must be a great thing to consider for a career, right?* The role as I would like to pursue it is “Generate ideas and refine them into playable game experiences, for [a] given target audience(s).” At Wizards, currently, I am spending a fair bit of time helping out with TCG Game Design, specifically for Magic, which has its own detail-driven and schedule-specific goals. In the past, I have already done some indie board game design (and “development,” which for games means final game design - iterating for fun and balance) and even some simple online game components.
