I went to a wargames convention on Saturday just south of Sydney and I discovered to my joy that the second edition of Howard Whitehouse's ground-breaking...
... I'm a tad intimidated by this cyberboard thing. I've never used it. I'm a mainframe programmer but no ace on these small ones. Also, a recently widowed...
John has been a member of this list for a number of years. He has made some very useful contributions to Matrix Game discussion. His PBEM game "A Green and...
Oops! I have a problem with cyberboard as well. I do all my internet at work. I'm not allowed to download any software onto company machines. If I can get a...
I would like to recommend that those interested in purchasing a hard copy of SvP contact Howard directly. He has in his posession 200 copies of the game (2...
Chris,
The function of the Moderator of a Group like this is to "moderate" - I
fully support your decision (which can't have been easy).
Thank you.
Tom....
It is a shame it sometimes must come to these kinds of hard decisions. As a regular lurker and right-of-middle-of-the-road conservative, I must agree that the...
Cyberboard can generate a map with units on it in jpeg format which can be used to show the progress of the battle. Players will not need cyberboard itself...
Chris, It was a brave and undoubtedly correct decision. As a libertarian (rather than a liberal), I hate censorship, but in any company, the others have the ...
Despite disagreeing strongly with most of what John has said over the years on any topic, be it politics or Matrix Gaming, I have always been happy to read...
Hi Chris I am also sorry that John is off the list, but I do feel it would he safer to keep politics out - one will always offend some one. Indeed I was about...
I like the baby killer part. Nice, given that I am writing this from Tirana, Albania and have my wife and newly adopted son sleeping peacefully upstairs. We...
Hi All, as part of my ongoing research on the use of Matrix Games I would be keen to hear what type of game boards are useful. My understanding is the the...
Jamie, Matrix games come in all shapes and sizes. Most games don't need any sort of game board at all, because the position of game objects is recorded in the...
Congrats Dylan! Kids - they change people's lives. Terri and I have neatly evaded that by the non failure of birth control - Ha ha ha ha ha ha! The money is...
I second what Marcus says. MGs can be exptremely simple or range to the complex. My experience with game boards is mainly from face to face convention games....
Congrats My first was adopted. Second planned. Third, I actually blame him on the local pharmacy/chemist being closed for renovation during the month he was...
Congrats, Dylan, My two were both planned. The first was conceived under a full moon at Beltane's feast during our hippie period, all very new age pagan. The...
Thanks everyone for their kind words and congratulations. It is interesting to see all the different paths people take to parenthood. Although Dorian's Beltane...
I purpose that we play a short game while the battle game comes together. I will offer up my suggestion for a game in my next posting but invite others to...
"How to date a Super model or go down in flames." Here is the situation. Each player plays two characters. Everyone is part of the brain of the super model -...
Yes, There is a lot of work to be done setting up the cyberboard. I was hoping there was already an Austerlitz set I could use, but no such luck! Chiz! Dorian...
Oh well. I'll see if I can't come up with something else. It's still Ramadan so my mind isn't working so well now but I'll see what I can come up with. Chris...
Jamie, as others have said, no board is necessary. However, I have found that some sort of map is almost always useful as most games I play do require some ...
Okay - here is another short game. LOST SURVIVOR Each player writes a brief write up of a passanger on an airliner that has gone down on a mysterious South...
Lost Survivor is a take on a game I wrote in 2000, after watching the first "Survivor" show. It was about a cast of character crashing on an island and having...
I have found an Austerlitz gamebox, but am struggling how to deal with the huge pic files (2MB or so) that even a gif conversion creates. Any re-sizing rapidly...
