The Wages of Creativity

I posted yesterday that I'd started making a Fiasco playset. What's a playset? Here's the glossary entry from the game:
Playset: The heart of a good fiasco - a combination of setting, situation, sub-genre, and kick in the pants. A Playset consists of four lists - Relationships, Needs, Objects, and Locations. The last three are collectively known as

Sounds neat. :) I love how versatile some of these conflict-based indie games are.

[anarchangel23]

I do too. I especially love how the most unlikely seeming combinations can fit so well together. I still want to try a two tier espionage game in which the strategic decision-making level is run with Best Friends.

Hee hee! Love that so much!

I've had in my head for a while doing a D&D-themed minicon where every game had to be about D&D, but not a single game was allowed to be any edition of D&D (or OGL spinoffs). This would fit right in.

My game would be a Prime Time Adventures take on the Keep on the Borderlands. I've heard someone talk about using Best Friends for D&D characters. Mountain Witch is an obvious hack, and Storming the Wizards Tower and Red Box Hack are already written to do just this. And someone would surely turn up with Rolemaster.

It sits in the idea basket with nunLARP...

Dude, that sounds great! You should do that in May when I'm back. Seriously.

[anarchangel23]

Well. That just happened.

*high fives everyone*

And nunlarp happened too! Seriously it's like you just livejournal comment and two years later it comes true

That sounds really cool. As does Morgue's idea (D&DCon, not NunLARP).

[anarchangel23]

You NunLARP hater!

Seriously though. Morgue.

*starts to suggest that you should organise it even though you're in another country, then hesitates and falls silent*
