Hi! Joe Foner here, I live in Southcentral PA, in the same area I grew up. I've been around games most of my life; playing games as a young child, re-writing rules when I got bored, making a game suggestion that prompted my dad's first game design, making my first formal game adaptation, working at my dad's game store (and running games there and at his mini-conventions), designing games in high school and after, and continuing to play all through adulthood. Games are a great tool for connecting people, and a way to exercise the mind, and that's the two biggest things I get out of them.  I grew up playing stuff like Dungeons & Dragons, Talisman, Civilization, Junta, Uno, Scrabble, Othello, Boggle, just a wide variety of games.  My goal with crowdfunding is to see if I can do this as more than a hobby. I have at least a dozen designs sitting around, and my plan is to slowly develop or re-develop those games (or ideas), playtest them, and try to get them to a larger audience through get-togethers, conventions, crowdfunding, and other means.  My designs tend to run old-school, with boards, dice, cards, and pawns. I still think there's some value in that way of game design. But the fun will in playtesting them, listening to ideas, troubleshooting, and adjusting them where possible for the present-day player. Or more importantly, to just make them the best games they can be, ones that people enjoy playing. Seeing people having a good time playing my games is the best reward.

You may also know me as Eden Emory. I'm a sapphic author that writes spicy, darkish, romance for fellow queers.  I was born and raised in California but love to travel the world with my wife and baby boy. Many days I can be found at 5 AM with a coffee in hand and pushing out as many words as I can get before my son wakes up. I fell in love with writing from a young age and even went as far as binding my own stories together. I was also an AVID fanfic reader and a lot of the tropes I love def came from my late nights binging 100k+ word fics.  Writing is not only an outlet for me, but I have fun with it and have been able to build a wonderful community of readers over these last five years. I can’t wait to see what else I can accomplish in the next five!

From teaching child monks English in Thailand and guiding white water rafting in Swaziland, to renovating a vintage campervan and building a deck from a back of napkin drawing, I've spent a lot of time saying YES to otherwise crazy ideas. And then working to figure out how to make them happen. As a Make Shit Happen coach, I've also been helping others turn bucket list ideas/ dreams/ passion projects/ side businesses into reality since 2017. I believe: Making Shit Happen is less hustle / grind, and more bold + tenacious. Your audacious goals are figureoutable, attainable, and you deserve to go for it. Black Lives Matter. Trans Rights are Human Rights. No Human is Illegal. Love is Love. Allyship is earned.
