NaGaDeMoN in two months


That time of year is coming up again.

I've been busy working on a pair of games all year, and it's been a slog.

Hell on 8 Wheels is being prepared for pre-release prototype playtesting. Walkabout has settled into a form I'm happy with and now it's time to refine the spread of notes into something that might make logical sense to someone other than myself.

While some people spend the month of November writing amateur novels, a small but dedicated group (led by Nathan Russell), spend the time developing new game ideas.

With a head full of game ideas itchng to come out, I'm wondering whether I should dedicate the month to writing a brand new game, or simply spend the time writing a solid playtestable version of the Walkabout rules.

I'm tending toward the latter.

Not sure what I plan to do for this year's NaGa. I have a supplement in mind for Mutant Future, but I may have that done before then. I do have three RPG concepts I've been wanting to hammer out. Perhaps that's what I'll do. Hmmm...

I concur about Walkabout. Cult of Done and all that.

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.
