Yeah so it's a new one. So the rules is, you say something you said IRL, and all you need to know is .... OK, I having a problem saying L=W and I=R R=V so, that makes sense so a model M is the triple <W, R, V>, like the usual. Yeah, so...

I would like to give my own shot at running a campaign, perhaps. I discussed this setting briefly with Zuul and went "Man, that'd be pretty good." The premise of the setting is as follows: You are on an iconic super-hero world, filled with...

Rather than have to go back through the setup thread when you need to find out more about one of your fellow USS Yorktown player characters, I thought it might be helpful to have all of the Starfleet Personnel Files collected here. I've included,...

Gosh. Now what have I got myself into? And in front of the whole rec room too. What am I doing sitting down against a Vulcan? Oh well, what's the worst that can happen? Mate in two. But we can discount that since I'd have to actively help...

A new KriegSpiel game - White to Move

Hi, Just wanted to put up a board of Black's moves for confirmation. Also, any thoughts and plans you wish to share?

It is White to move in the initial position.

First move: White pawn, C2 to C4. I make no claims to being a good, let alone a great, chess player.

Opened by Malacandra to help WES.

I used to run an RPG on a chat server, but 1) chat games eat up a lot of time because everybody has to be online at the same time or the game dies and 2) I have the attention span of a gnat and always fail at #1. I do miss that world I created,...

There are going to be two main theatres of play. There will be those staying in the colony itself and those in the exploration party charting the planet. Those who stay within the colony will be free to start scenes and move about as they wish and...

A long time ago, there was a small community over on the Apolyton forums that ran a series of role-playing games not unlike what we do here. The difference, though, is that in those games the players took the position not of heroes but of the...

This might belong in Arts and Entertainment but I feel it fits well here. "Carnival of Souls" is considered a cult classic, I did not know this. I know this as the movie that gave me nightmares for weeks when I was only 3. It is one of the...

A Sub is required in my Space Hijack Mafia Game running on Idle Thought's Mafia Board. Please PM me if you are interested. Thanks CIAS

If there is any interest, I'm thinking of running a quick / easy Mafia game that we played in chat with Vox. Works like this: Roles: King 3 or 4 Guards Assassin The object is pretty simple - if you are the King you want to stay alive, if...

All right, gentlemen. Everyone's confirmed, countries are assigned, and I got tired of messing around with photoshop, and just downloaded a mapper which, while not very pretty, at least is very clear, and gives useful abbreviations so hopefully no...

Based on a conversation from this thread: I actually have a few ideas of my own... not that I am likely to mod a game before December, but I was wondering... should we have a roster or something? We don't want too many Mafia games running in...
