I looked over Jim Wallman's "A Drop Too Many" game and it looks cool. I know Jim's name (I believe from Wargame Developments) so he is aware of Matrix Games....
First, I want to thank Chris for rating my argument, clearly the man has sensibilities and wisdom bordering on genius, but the more importantly I thank your...
I think a version of the MG rules should be put out under an Open License. I think that would encourage people to make use of them in a number of different...
Nick, All I could find on the net was for the movie 'Zulu Dawn'. You really don't need a script, you should have the movie memorized by now like the rest of...
... Ah... Zulu Dawn, Burt Lancaster surrounded by Zulus... historically more accurate but not near as fun a movie. I just watched "Zulu" I didn'r memorize it. ...
I know that the hobbyist wargaming arena tends to be pretty informal about these things (and that wouldn't change), but an explicit license encourages others...
... This is correct. I've had to change the name of Cthulhu on Campus to Chaos on Campus because my business associate was worried over who owned the copyright...
... A common misconception - WotC can quit making content available under the licence in the future, but they cannot retroactively invalidate past versions of...
I think the D20 license adds value to the Wotc product line. If you want to play Space Nazi Pigs in the 25th century you can use the base D20 system from WOTC....
... You can't base a law on purely subjective criteria such as 'bad' or 'good', though. Some people think d20 is the *best* system out there. I disagree, but...
I note the d20 OGL states that the licence is "perpetual", and the only provision for termination of the licence refers to termination in the event of a breach...
... I didn't know that. Thanks. I stick with the concern that the open license is great free advertising for WotC, though. They get a lot of people doing...
James just joined the group today and has dove in head first. Welcome! Just so you know, he has written a neat little RPG that is available for free down load...
I was taking a bit of liberty with Gresham's law which states that bad currency drives out good currency. In the merry old days when currency had an intrinsic...

Since we were talking about collaborative games, I uploaded one to my folder in the Files section. It's for a dark fairy-tale setting, but I think the general...
I don't know that I've ever seen a situation where a Social Contract as such actually works. They certainly haven't worked in the games here - but that's also...
... This is interesting. I've always thought of barriers as geography but they could be seen as a geography of story. I'll need to think about that. Chris...
Chris, If you read your own writings you know that barriers can be physical, psychological or anything else for that matter. For example my spy character is...
The Social Contract never existed and was used by one class to protect it's property rights during the English Civil War, against those crazed levelers. I...
