What would you like to do here?

I'd like to know what you think a roleplay game is.

If you don't know what a tabletop roleplaying game is, or want to know that view from around here, look in the left-hand bar, under Fundamentals.

I'd like to set up a great session for my existing game.
Under Setting & Situation, you'll find a few different ways to put together world material that should help you set up great session.

I'd like to throw together some rules.
The Engines shown on left each contain a quick slideshow describing a set of rules, and one or more downloadable variations on those rules, in PDF form.

I'd like to hack my existing rules to do something new.
Plugins are your tools here.  Each of these in an article on modifying your rules to do some thing different.  Not all plugins go with all rules, of course.

I'd like to use this stuff elsewhere.
Do it.  Unless you see a note on copyright, things here don't have one.   The site standard is 'public domain'; do what you want.

I'd like to collaborate, edit, or contribute. 
Sweet.  Point your email at levi.kornelsen@gmail.com, and let fly.  That's a very serious invitation - the site could always use help!

I'd like to have a public discussion about the site.
Sounds good, too.  Grab some space on your forum of choice, or on your blog.  If you'd like to send some email, go for it - but don't be stunned to get called on even if you don't; google alerts are pretty marvelous things.

Yet another thing to put in the awesome stuff folder.  Random generators for all sorts of everything!   File it right next to Abulafia, if you know that one...

This is a gaming social network site that's pretty recent, but looks pretty good so far.  So hey, possible discussion space there.

Impending

posted Oct 22, 2009 11:41 PM by Levi Kornelsen

Impending is a new situation generator in the setting & situation section.  As with most such, it comes with a form, although this one isn't yet fill-and-save; it needs to be printed.  The form may be replaced with a fillable one if people feel it would be useful to do that (let me know).

Slime Story?

posted Oct 19, 2009 12:47 PM by Levi Kornelsen

Over on Yaruki Zero, there's a happy little playtest document for Slime Story.  It's a bit wall-of-texty right now, but the game is a cute monster fighting thing.

Never mind the beholder.  Fight the brocolli.

So much google.

Coming to grips with the tools for site analysis is mind-breaking.  Google has told me that my front page was not very helpful (lots of bounce-away), so I've worked on that a bit.  It's all very fascinating.  Unfortunately, it's also very distracting, and pushes my priorities towards "I want lots of traffic"...  when what I actually want is traffic from people who find the sitestuff useful.  There doesn't seem to be a widget for that, though.  Pesky.

Exchange

The Exchange has been added to engines, after much wrestling.  Wordy presentation is wordy.

Dmitri brings us Beatdown.  It's the right game for those nights when, bleary-eyed and hung over, you look at your group, and you just want to swear at and possibly thump one of them.

There's a pretty fair chance that I'll be putting together a quickie presentation on the rules here and dropping those rules and the file into Engines - but I wanted to get it to you NOW, because it's fun and stylish just to read.

You Should Visit The Mighty Atom

And get the free games there.   You should do this because they rock.  You should do this right now.

After you have done that, you should pay attention to it in future - there's a beta coming for Danger Patrol (and once you see the Alpha, you'll understand that you must have this and cannot live without it).

Then come back here.  Because I will be missing you the whole time.
