Last week I used a impromptu MG in a thearpy session. The individual was exploring basic social skills - reading situations and imagining different futures. I...
I'm throwing this out there to see if people are interested in a game. The basic idea behind "Gateway to Cthulhu" is that a group of normal kids (on a museum...

GATEWAY TO CTHULHU June 2009 A group of bored students tours the Museum of Ancient Mysteries when they get separated from the crowd. Being curious chaps they...
I've done games like this before but not written about them. The game is less important as a game - it's more just s way to talk to people in a non-threatening...
I would think the addition of die-rolls would make for an interesting variation in itself. For example, the person is not only making comments on what they...
Well I'm back from Ohio after a busy five days. All in all it was a successful show. I ran around 35 people through "Thunder Hamsters and the Temple of Cheese"...
I'm in the middle of making Matrix Games for Gen Con. I'm presenting them as board games with fold out hard boards so the map and counters (along with written...
... Intriguing. I can imagine this would be really good for discovery and exploration games. Will tile placement be random? Ongoing? One-time? Adversarial?...
For different games it could be done differently. What I do know is I like games where the tiles then form the "dungeon" the players move around in so that...
I worked long and hard this weekend and am begining to finish up my Gen Con games. All the old games are nearly done. Pretty shiny boxes with colorful shiny...
Exciting! I can't wait to see what you've got at Gen Con this year. My copy of Duffer's Drift is, alas, still unplayed. L My local group aren't as excited...
I've greatly improved the boxes. The covers now wrap around all the sides and the map boards also wrap around. I've switched from polyurethane to shellac as...
I've thought for sometime that the "Kids'n'Parents" demographic is where Matrix Games wouold truly catch on. I'm very happy to see that experience bears this...
...about that game I was discussing over at Howard Whitehouse's Astounding Tales site. I used a variant of your coin-buy system, and thought you might like to...
Ahoy! I have a couple of printed copies of Politics By Other Means, but I'd like to have a .doc file which I can savely archive and preserve for eternity,...
Should anyone be curious (or bored enough) to know how that played out, here's a transcript. We had the battle at work, so it was slow going -- and it remains ...
Zombies and Plasma Cannons and scarecrows oh my! Good luck with the game! On Sat, Jul 18, 2009 at 10:24 AM, Andrew Dr Rotwang! Reyes ... -- Hamster Press =...
I was thinking the matrix game would be good for an idea I had, but I want some input. The idea is to retell the story of Dune by Frank Herbert. The initial...
Depending when it ran, I may or may not have time to participate, but as a Dune fan, I'd be interested. I think that Dune gives you a pretty set up. It's clear...
Yes, if you were championing Baron Harkonnen, then you would be automatically championing his faction, but things aren't as clear if you were championing Paul....
I think that a Matrix Game would work very well for this scenario. Please feel free to use any rules on my web page (or any part of them you find useful). ...
I was planing on running it at www.rpol.net. One idea I had was that when people made arguments, they would have to provide reasons that were derived from the...
Okay I looked at rpol.net and I think you could run a game there easily. I've not done one on a forum but it should work even better than email because you...
Gen Con was a little slow this year but we did okay with the games. There were a good number of Matrix Games run and everyone seemed to enjoy them. That said...
I'm eager to try a game. I'm still nervous about running that Dune game I was thinking about, maybe playing in a matrix game first will help me wet my feet. If...
