Yet another long-time gamer here. FRPGs all through my childhood in the 80s, including (A)D&D, CoC, a bunch of Palladium games (RIFTS, TMNT, Robotech - yes, like many adolescent gamer boys I was able to channel my young id into rolling double fistfuls of dice and imagining stuff blowing up :D), even West End's Star Wars RPG. In college I spent a little time on MUDs, I even participated in a couple of LARP experiences in high school and college, though nothing regular ever got off the ground.

And now, here I am collecting old vinyl and trying to perfect my Zombie recipe. Great minds think alike, isn't that how the saying goes? :)

Nowadays I'm more into computer games -- I just recently quit World of Warcraft for a more boring but rewarding game called World of Grad School. It's not really related to Tiki, but the game I'm most excited for is Pirates of the Burning Sea, which is supposed to finally come out sometime this year. Arrr! I've got Settlers and Carcassone on a shelf upstairs too, my wife even likes to play them sometimes! If I can ever justify the expense of an XBox 360, I'll be very interested to see how Settlers translates to XBox Live Arcade; with everyone's busy schedules and the wide geographic distribution of my friends, I'm really hopeful that the "online board game" idea takes off.

I think a Tiki/Polynesian themed tabletop RPG or a "modern" tongue-in-cheek Tiki game would be awesome. Tiki drinks as potions++!
