Look at me, getting the interview.

Tinkering with a new design for the 2nd Edition of Protocol. Feel free to use this in the meantime.

For whatever reason, I am extremely proud of the Carcass. Maybe it’s the fast turn around to make the game. The mean spirit of play. The fact that it’s not a copy of other post-apoc games. I don’t know.

What I do know is that it could not have happened without a lot of angst for passive aggressive behavior. Reading book after book from indie designers, I see a lot of passive language. Stricture instead of structure.

Maybe. Should. Try. Will. Soft, indirect language meant to guide and hand-hold through the process of avoiding a true experience.

What exactly do you want me to do with this?

The Carcass is a byproduct of my love of gaming AND my our philosophies about culture. Not just modern America, but thousands of years of history.

This game is not safe. It is not soft. It is not careful with the language.

The Carcass is something I’m extremely proud of. It doesn’t treat you like a child. It doesn’t talk down to you. And it doesn’t tell you when to take a break.

And. Here are the rules. They are still in editing, but pretty close to finished. Enjoy.

the furnace is a story roleplaying game about WWI soldiers fighting in the trenches. There is no gamemaster. Players take turn framing scenes. All the rules you need are right here (you also need a deck of cards and two six-sided dice). Each character is a soldier on the Western Front, with someone waiting for them at home. Players take turns directing one of three scene types: vignettes, interludes, and ensembles.

Hey Everyone.

I’m packed and ready to go to Gencon.

I have a booth (2730) which I’m sharing with Souljar Games.

I’ll have Carcass there. King for a Day. Solomon Guild. Protocol. Toolcards. And a new game just for GENCON… the furnace.

Souljar will have dice crawl, torn armor, and cairn, plus some maps for sale.

There’s also a special card for Dice Crawl GENCON customers.

It’s a secret.

We have stickers, bonus dice, and a gumball machine at the booth.

I’ll be playing games, demoing games, gaming games, and also games.

I’ll also be at the Trade Day demo night, room 205 of the JW Marriott at 6pm on Wednesday (before the con). I’ll be showing off dice crawl to stores. As well as Torn Armor.

Whew. Maybe I’ll get a minute to eat or drink.

A new review of Toolcards can be found here.

I’ve created a new character class/role for the Carcass. You know? That game that’s one-week old. Yeah. That one.

The snake charmer may heal the sick… or worse.
