Sounds like an interesting game. A longere play period would be nice but for education terms you probably got the required learning from the event in the three...
Well, I have the three sets of wargames rules now and very interesting they are too. You mention that if you did a revised set that you might include a square...
I hadn't really given it much thought. The project is way down on the priority list. I think the rules will work pretty much unchanged. Thye only thing I see...
Sure, go ahead. If you wait a few weeks I'll post a cleaned up revised version of the rules, but feel free to post it as is if you wish. MF ... pages? I...
I'd like to see someone run a round-robin game - one player per day. I think that would help with some of the multiplayer games to keep them from too many...
... Hum, tell us more. This sounds interesting. It could fall in the problem of mad libs, where people have no coherent direction but it might not. Chris Engle...
You'd still have a scenario, but instead of everyone submitting arguments simultaneously, they would submit them sequentially. That would encourage them to use...
I would suggest, however, that the game also use the judging criteria I came up with for the literary matrix game - further encouraging players to keep to the...
... Mike Underwood did this in a Gencon Matrix Game in Milwaukee, the last year it was there. It worked well - so I included it in the Engle MG rules. I've not...
From the "Green & Pleasant Land" pdf in the files section: each argument will receive 1 point for each of the following principles it is judged to be in ...
I think this is pretty much consistent with how I ad hoc evaluate arguments I just don't impose a number system on it. This systems seems good to me. Chris...
... I think it helps to make the rubric explicit, so the players can both gauge the strengths of their arguments better and understand the ref's final...
Hi The sheriff fired again, silence decended on the room, it all went blank. In the distance he could hear children talking about the Civil War, but such...
John, since you have come up with the concept, why don't you run the proposed game? That would ensure that the game is as close as possible to what you...
Universalis has a nice method of keeping to the spirit of the game it's done by using challenges. Basically any player can challenge an argument and the ...
... I'm going to get a copy of Universalis at GenCon this year. I've corresponded some with it's author and it looks like we're coming at the same problem from...
Ok, I'll run a round-robin game base on "A Green and Pleasant Land" (see the pdf in the files section). We'll follow the same turn sequence - but since it's a...
Shocked and amazed I reel away from the computer!!! For those who are new this is John's first game on the list. I want to play because I want to see the...
... This game is primarily a cooperative storytelling game, so I don't think you'll see much difference in the matrix - except with the simplicity of the...
Actually, I want to run Jovian Chronicles as an asynchronous game - where arguments are adjudicated as they arrive. I just need to set the scenario victory...
TURN 7 The sheriff fired again, silence decended on the room, it all went blank. In the distance he could hear children talking about the Civil War, but such...
A day in the life of Henry De Vere Frafflington, by Marcus Young One bright morning, Henry De Vere Frafflington sat in dining room of Frafflington Hall having...
We could also use more description about the setting during this turn - important places about and outside of town (from the characters' standpoints of...
