My name is Mike Suchcicki (soo-chick-ee), but you can call me Mike Sooch. I'm a retired journalist in Pensacola, Florida, whose hobby is creating card games and novelty items. I also do a little writing here and there. I've created this site to show off my works and to gab about creativity and how important it is to me.
I don't consider myself a game design professional. My goal is not to create a big company or to sell millions of games. I'm kind of an introvert who's not that big on networking, schmoozing, or even getting out of the house much. I don't even hang out at the local game stores (even though I know I should). I'm just a guy in his office who loves designing games from scratch (I do everything on my games, from the graphic design to writing the rules). Everything I create I put up on my Etsy store. I hope you'll check it out.
