Pocketmod Games Community


For years I remember people looking for the "ultimate game" where the entire rule set wa written on the back of the character sheet. It was a bit of a holy grail of gaming.

Recently years have seen microlite versions of games that have basically accomplished this. But now things are getting pushed further with the Pocketmod format.

If you don't know what Pocketmod is, then your probably new to this blog...I've been discussing them pretty heavily over the past couple of months. Have a look at the pocketmod site.

If you do know about pocketmods and their potential for game development, you might be interested in the G+ pocketmod gaming community that I've just put together. I'm hoping this will be a place where pocketmod boardgames, rpgs and story games will develop together, feeding off one another's ideas to create some fun an innovative games.

I'll be posting some regular stuff there and I invite others to do likewise.

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 7)

A working computer and scanner...that means it is time to get back to work on the geomorph sequence. A lot of the discussion in this set of tutorials has been focused around square geomorphs. They're the easiest for most people to wrap their heads around.  But my preferred form of geomorph is based around the hexagon, these tend to produce more organic and interesting shapes. This is true for natural environments, but it's no less true for urban environments. The example set of geomorphs above as a simple two-phase system. One edge type is plain, the other edge type has a road piercing the centre. There could be dozens of combinations and permutations for each of the two phases around the hexagonal edges, but a quick look at the variety of buildings and road shapes shows that there could literally be hundreds of possible options when drawing these map fragments. But you certainly don't need to create hundreds of designs for the system to be effective. Usin

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 1)

After numerous requests to get back to map tutorials, it's time to start our new series. This time focusing on the concept of geomorphs, modular map fragments that can be mixed and matched. We'll start with a couple of theoretical tutorials before sinking into a few more practical posts. I'm predicting a dozen or so posts in this sequence, but let's see how long it lasts.
