Connected as Nicholas Vitek (161 friends)

I am in Quality Assurance at a Texas Oil Rig fabrication company. I am also a writer and design / publish board games (Hopefully for a living in the future).
In 2007, I started Living Worlds Games with an eye to create games, board and other, that evolve over time based on the actions of a large group of players. We are also striving to produce games that are visually appealing and feature good graphic design.
We released our first game, 1955: The War of Espionage in 2011 and our second game, Schlock Mercenary: Capital Offensive in 2012.

On a personal note, I've been gaming for over two decades now. I play everything from board games (LNOE, Dominion), RPGs (Shadowrun, Rifts), MMOs(Eve Online) to video games (Fallout 3). I decided to move into designing and publishing board games a couple of years ago due to a conversation I had on a MUSH (A text based MMO, no pictures).

Another player and I were discussing the inability of a popular RPG designer to properly balance to massive amount of product he was pushing out onto the market when my friend told me that if I felt like I could do better balancing rules and producing product, I should stop merely playing games and go out there and make one happen.
