Clearing the Decks

A few interesting links:

Forgeworld's new releases, the classic land raider and a new Dark Eldar vehicle: Proteus and Tantalus. How is that dollar doing against the pound anyway...

Vincent Baker on why game designers can learn things from playing bad games: You Should Play Bad Games. Even Monopoly!
He said something very cool about Monopoly in ( Read more... )

What lessons am I learning from Dora the Explorer Bingo, I wonder?

anarchangel23 September 20 2011, 16:42:30 UTC

I have a half written game based on Bingo :)

drbunnyhops September 20 2011, 22:46:48 UTC

Oh well... Dora is clearly the missing half!

8 hour slots seems a bit long, but I think I'd find it easier to write for a 4 or 5 hour slot than for 3! I guess my games would expand to fill the time, though :-)

Yeah. I could see playing certain games over an entire day (in fact, I look forward to doing that at Christmas!) but a con game with a bunch of people I don't know? That makes choosing the right game very important.

Four hour slots is the norm here, and in Christchurch, so that's super familiar to me. Since getting into indie games, I've come to terms with the idea of Wellington's short three hour slots. Although a couple of games at Day of Games did seem a bit rushed.

Gaming over Christmas in Chch or Welly? If it's the latter, then I have to take leave for a whole 2 weeks (24th Dec-9th Jan), and boys will be at their Dad's for some of it... so I'd be up for roleplaying if my free days coincided.

I'll be gaming it up at Big Gaming Week (Dec 26 to Jan 1) in Christchurch (it's pretty much a house con at this point). I'm not sure when I'll be in Wellington, but it will be sometime in early-mid January (before Kapcon, but I'm not sure how long before Kapcon...).

Are you going to actually be up in my area for Big Bad Con?

anarchangel23 September 21 2011, 01:46:38 UTC

Yes! I'm running Dungeon World (Tree of Souls) on Saturday evening and 3:16 (Delta Company) on Sunday morning. The rest of the time I think I'll be in open gaming.

Very cool! If I can participate that'd combine meeting you with scoping out Dungeon World.

anarchangel23 September 21 2011, 20:56:53 UTC

There's sure to be a lot of Dungeon World happening in open gaming too.
