TOMMY ROUSSE wants to be an academic when he grows up, so this whole game design thing could be a little awkward. First of all, he can't program or draw for shit. In fact, his only real specialty is writing about how American free speech theory applies to video games– but if your game is about that you better pick him first, 'cause he's RULL GOOD at that. Not doing that? Who would have guessed.

TOMMY ROUSSE doesn't want to be picked last so he better come up with some good reasons why you'd want him on your team. First of all, if you need someone to present your idea then he's pretty good at that! Second of all, he knows about all kinds of games– role-playing games, card games, board games, indie games, old games, new games– pretty much all kinds of games. Third of all, he knows a lot about game studies. Fourth of all, he's really good at learning and figuring things out– so even if he doesn't know much about programming you could probably point him in the right direction and he'll figure things out.

TOMMY ROUSSE is good at organizing, compromising, and scheduling. He had to corral a team of eight undergrads for the last year so he picked up a few tricks. He's good at imagining potential players and (EVEN MORE IMPORTANT!) he's good at imagining potential players being total assholes. You cannot balance a game or figure out if it works without this ability! He's so good at figuring out what's wrong with things he has a dang minor in Critical Theory!

TOMMY ROUSSE has to apply to law school when this whole Games thing is over, so the ideal team should not be afraid to bust ass to do well on this project!!

TOMMY ROUSSE wants to be your fraaaaaaan – add him on Facebook or tweet tweet. Plus he figures if he keeps repeating his name you will remember it!
