Twenty Questions

These 20 questions were from the "Introduce Yourself" section of the BG Hub on Discord. Not sure if this is "cheating" when it comes to forcing myself to write something here everyday. I realize that I won't be able to contribute equal levels of content all the time, and there will be times when I won't have any idea what to write about. 

So, I am giving myself permission to include posts that are "less inspired" from time to time. I might write about my cat, or what I had for dinner. That will be okay. I just need to write every day.

These questions are focused on the board game hobby. The BG Hub, which stands for Board Game Hub is a discord channel run by some board game review content creators on YouTube. This was one idea for a "getting to know you" exercise.
