Alex Ava fell in love with the con as a general volunteer, and accidentally started running the games lounge with a beautiful gang of Shut Up & Sit Down forum mods. Zey love teaching, playing and sharing games, so it's worked out pretty well for hir. Back on Midgard, zey live in the elbow of two gorgeous valleys in West Yorkshire, work with co-ops, and write about board game feelings at 'Tactics and Tactility'. Nineworlds has helped hir find community, love and hirself, so zey're pretty into it.
