¿Question #951?
ejmowrer: Do you wish you were a board game designer?

Woelf: I am, technically.
ocdspectrum: Kind of - but it doesn't pay that well and you have to deal with gamers ;-p
sweetgotham: Yes, I have designed some for contests though.
teg2: It is, indeed, a secret dream of mine
robertcompton: i wish i was a good board game designer
Pithagoras: I am. I just wish it were official. I have two prototypes for games, I just haven't playtested them much.
Felimid: A paid one? Yes. But I'm still an amateur one (not even up to PNP level yet).
Caerid: Who here wouldn't?
phil_standen: No
pwilz: No, I like the job I have now.
rinelk: Not a paid one. I'd feel a responsibility to be more careful about it than I'm inclined to be.
pestigor: no way I'm not into pain
Phil Fleischmann: I already am. What I wish is that I was a *published* game designer making a *living* off of being a game designer.
WiiGame: Player: Yes. Designer: No.
The Unbeliever: 42
ZeroZilla: Naturally.
capt yid: yes, sometimes I try out a few ideas...
Mondior: no
spleek: It would be foolish to sit and wish for something that would take a short time to achieve. Now, a GOOD board game designer might be something to wish for...
dogzard: Yes
rowdyray: Yes
TrimChris: Only on bad days.
echdareez: I only wish for shooting stars and the 6 lucky numbers.
mdornbrook: I try. It's hard. The more I think about my game mechanics, the worse it gets. The more I try to make the game enjoyably complex, the worse it gets. The more I run statistics to make scarce resources work out for the player who manages their resources best, the worse it gets. Pretty much, the best game ideas that I have are simple, like Diplomacy - negotiation + rock paper scissors.
Greedo: I would design a game and then whack you over the head with the board. ::POW!::
DHEK: Sometimes, yeah.
White Stone: No, or I would be
