WRITING SCENARIOS: WHAT ABOUT CHARACTERS? I am interested in exploring the writing of Matrix Game scenarios. A lot of people on the list have done it and each...
I think if you can personify a group with an individual your better off doing that gaming the masses. Part of the appeal of the matrix game is having the...
Chris, ... Hey - I don't think it is that crazy - after all I served in Germany with a guy whose Regiment burned down the original White House... We Brits have...
Chris, I like the idea (since I did something vaguely similar at: http://www.mapsymbs.com/wdstalingd.html). I used laminated cards for the playing pieces, with...
The original White House still exists, it wasn't razed by the British. Although I wouldn't mind if your people came back and finished the job. Avoid the rush...
Err... Sorry - I was referring to the razing of Washington, D.C., by British forces during the War of 1812, (including the President's residence). I understand...
Colonel, Nice link, I live in the area and we never learned the bit about the extent of the damage done. So if you did it before you could do it again. ... ...

On the ABC web page they have an article on a 1918 letter implicating the President's grandfather in stealing Geronimo's bones (apparently for the Skull and...
(Isn't all this already in the fine print of the Democratic platform?) With games like this you need a mechanism to keep the game following a single plotline...
Actually, I think the best way to handle the player positions would be to have each choose a secret society that is working to get a member of theirs into the...
Granpa stole bones, grandson steals elections: the family tradition continues. As for a game I think you have some good material and a game involving secret...

I've been thinking about changes to the Waterloo system since my work project has started winding down. Current ideas are to remove some mechanisms from the...
Nothing personal Vince but you need to be burned at the stake as a heretic for using a combat results table in a matrix game. We only use SCRUD or SWAG (Silly...
... I wrote a reply which seems to have disappeared in cyber-space, so here goes again... Burnt at the stake? I suggest an intense barbeque sauce for something...
I completely disagree. Combat result tables are fine BUT they should be subject to change by arguments made in the game. If people can re-write the game as it...

I like it, but it's now more of a PBOM boardgame. You can get the same effect, just by having a ref that limits the scope of arguments and always keeps an eye...
I'm not blaming anyone. What's missing from the Matrix Game oeuvre are any guidelines for refereeing a game. But that doesn't mean the only answer is to take...
