There was a mis-copied paragraph in the PDF I posted yesterday. It's all fixed now. You should download it again, though. Sorry about that.Danger Patrol Alpha 07.12.09

New draft available!Danger Patrol Alpha Playtest 07.12.09
I changed the Style and Role card layouts so they're easier to use (you just print the whole set and then cut the sheets in half). I also added an example for action scene 2, changed the helping rules, cut action tokens (everything works with power tokens now), and cleaned up the text a bit.
This will be the stable alpha draft for now. I'll continue to collect feedback and suggestions for an eventual beta draft some time down the line. Thanks to everyone who helped out to make the alpha version better.
(FYI: The links in the announcement post, below, have been updated to the new version, so you can still link to that post to share the game if you want to.)

Danger Patrol Alpha Playtest
Monday, July 06, 2009
The time has come. The time... for DANGER.
Danger Patrol is a retro sci-fi action/adventure game designed for fast play with no prep. Grab the alpha playtest PDF and have a go at making your own 50s-style TV adventure serial in the style of Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, and Indiana Jones (if Indy regularly went to Venus).
This alpha draft needs testing! It got a good workout recently at Go Play NW 2009, but more is always better. If you have a chance to give it a read and especially if you play it, I'd love to hear your feedback.
Podcast Interview is Up
Monday, June 01, 2009
Brennan Taylor interviewed me for the Voice of the Revolution podcast and the episode is online now. We talk about the recent mini-game thing I've been doing with GHOST/ECHO, The Mustang, and Lady Blackbird. It's fairly short and sweet, and I forget to actually say what G/E and The Mustang are about, but overall I think it went pretty well. I'm happy to answer questions or talk further about any topic here.Lady Blackbird Play By Post
Friday, May 08, 2009
Some folks are playing Lady Blackbird by post over on RPGnet. Cool things are already happening early on, including the idea of using alternate and foreign words for swearing, Firefly style. "Shacklin'" has been suggested as an all purpose curse, and I heartily approve. "There's a shacklin' hole in the side of the ship!" Yeah, that's going into our games of LB.EDIT: For future reference, the In-Character Thread and the Out-of-Character Thread.
One Seven Design Page Updated
I finally got around to fixing my old home page: http://www.onesevendesign.com/. It now features links to the pages for my games (except for Agon... I haven't made its button yet). I'll keep this page updated from now on so you can always find my game stuff there.Free Quick-Play Games
