Ryan MetzlerRyan Metzler grew up on the basic board games: Monopoly, Risk, Trivial Pursuit, and the like. At a relatively young age he was introduced, through some friends, to Magic: The Gathering, and a true gaming addiction was born, although never nurtured and limited to the CCGscene. Due to progression through life (highschool, girls, college, the dreaded "real job", and now graduate school), Ryan lost touch with his gamer side for several years. In 2009, a rekindled friendship from his MtG days led Ryan back to his passion for gaming. He quickly found BGG, and has since amassed a (relatively) small collection of games, ranging from simple card games, to his preferred choice, the Heavy Eurogame. Ryan is active in the gaming community in his effort sas a play tester, rules editor, and volunteer consultant for Alderac Entertainment Group. He gets great joy from reading about, watching, hearing about, and playing all sorts of games.
Ryan is a graduate student in the field of Physiology & Biophysics. Located in Wisconsin, Ryan is neither a fan of cold weather nor snow. He hopes to delve even further into the gaming community, and one day flesh out one of the several game design concepts he has been neglecting for so long already.
