My name is David Grimsby and I am a self-published game designer. I have always loved tabletop games and from a very young age would make my own to share with my friends. That hobby turned into a life long passion, which lead me to finally try my hand at publishing the games I created.After discovering The Game Crafter I hit the ground running, publishing a few games. It wasn't until my creation of F.L.O.W. during the pandemic that I really found my stride and my voice when it comes to game creation.I tend to like games that are lighter on rules to allow the gaming experience to be more of a social one, and not so much a number crunching, rules disputing affair. The games I create reflect this.
