Jim Courtney

 

Currently all One Day Games releases are designed by Jim Courtney.  He is a freelance/independent game designer who is also involved in convention organizing, writing, illustration, and talking about himself in the third person.  Though he dabbled with game design ever since being far too influenced by games like Magic: The Gathering in his high school years, his serious endeavors into the medium didn't happen until 2007 with the creation of Farg You!.  He began to demo/playtest his games at ConnectiCon and also at its Member Appreciation Days, creating games at an exponential rate-- going from 1 in 2007 to 5 in 2008, 13 in 2009, and slowing down to 19 in 2010, when his wrist started to get tired and he devoted some of his time to cursing whoever came up with the notion of exponents.

    Courtney's other creative projects include creating comics, random chicanery and nonsense, and creating useless internet garbage such as image macros.  When he's not doing that or designing games, he helps organize ConnectiCon, a multi-genre fandom convention based in Hartford, CT, indulges in anime, film, videogaming, and other "geek stuff", and strips nude on the night of each full moon, ascending to the top of Mount Everest to offer the lunar deity the traditional offering of a dead squirrel, a half-empty bottle of "Yoo-Hoo", and a issue of Vogue from 1983, in petition of the celestial body to answer the question "Who is the one for me?".  So far the moon has only answered by glowing and spinning imperceptibly.

    Though he is currently publishing his games independently, prospective publishers who wish to discuss releasing any of Jim's games may contact him here. Beautiful, intelligent women who find Jim's jokes funny may also use this form to propose marriage.
