THREE SPONSORSHIP RELATED QUESTIONS:
KC: What about Granite Game Summit helped you decide to be a sponsor?
WF: When the opportunity arose, especially after years of hearing about Granite Game Summit from listening to “Flip the Table,” I had to get involved!
KC: How did Top Shelf Fun start?
WF: Building a company from the ground up with the help of Kickstarter truly was a dream come true. I would not be here doing what I love if it wasn't for all the people that helped me bring them what they love - Meepillows!
KC: What does your company do that you are most proud of?
WF: Our Game Haul bags were some of the first board game carrying bags to hit the market years ago. Since then, we have expanded our line to a variety of sizes and now licenses. It is always thrilling and rewarding to see gamers walking around cons with our bags.
THREE QUESTION JUST FOR FUN:
KC: How frequently do you get to the game table?
WF: Before my son Atticus arrived just over a year ago, Thursday night was always game night. Now, gaming is fit in whenever possible, which can be difficult to say the least.
KC: Do you have a favorite game designer whose designs hit the mark for you?
WF: Corey Konieczka, Eric Lang, Jamey Stegmaier
KC: Are there any obscure games that you love that you feel do not get enough attention?
WF: I’m not sure that it is obscure, but Alien Frontiers is my all-time favorite game that I wish more people would play!
