Ari Ashkenazi

Ari is a generalist nerd and all-around game enthusiast. His goal is to become the very best, like no one ever was. He spends most of his time playing various video and board games. Although his main focus is on multiplayer PC games like Heroes of the Storm and Hearthstone, he’s always happy for some old fashion tabletop adventures like Legend of the Five Rings or Fifth Edition Dungeons and Dragons. He has many opinions and is always happy to share them, backed up not just with mere facts but cold hard speculation.
