Hello fellow gamers!
My name is Andreas Propst, I am the creator of Elemental Clash! I am known as jilocasin here and on the BGG. I am 23 years old and live in a rural part of Upper Austria together with my younger sister and my parents. Besides being a hobby artist and amateur game designer I have various odd hobbies like searching the fields of our homeland for coins and trinkets with my metal detector, reading english literature, staring at the night sky with my telescope and collecting antiquary books, coins, fossils and minerals. And yes you can call me a nerd!
I started designing games in my childhood and never stopped since.
Until I designed Elemental Clash about four years ago I had a few failed attempts at making a CCG-style game. Then in 2006, in what I can only describe as kinda an epiphany, I scribbled down the basic rules and many of the cards you can find in EC today in my sketchbook. The biggest and most important step for my game was joining the geek ( www.boardgamegeek.com ) and putting the game up there. Since then EC became a free pnp game, then an artscow deck, then available on thegamecrafter.com and now it is going to be published by TOG entertainment. That is the story in short. If you got any questions just ask em. I will frequent the forum regularly.
Please join Elemental Clash on facebook, check back at www.elementalclash.com, check my artwork at ap.o-nan.org and follow me on twitter (i am jilocasin1 on there).
Looking forward to your many questions,
yours,
Andi alias jilocasin
