Although not exactly game design, creating new worlds and stories, and making their custom rules for the games they've played, lit their fire and opened the road to the game design. In 2004 they had had their first actual contact with real game design. Together with Panagiotidis Panagiotis, Pantou Pantelis, Polizoidis Vaggelis and Kostas Zachopoulos they created Liquid Fire Team to design a new Role-Playing Game called “GUN TALE, Adventures in the Wild West”.

After being the circle complete and with the passage of time and experimentation with many aspects of game design, the journey brings them nowadays creating Goblins On Board, the present game designing team of Christos Giannakoulas and Manolis Zachariadis.
