Thief RPG
Tuesday, November 10, 2009
I am a big fan of the Thief series of video games. I've always wanted to play an RPG in that world (or something loosely inspired by it). Chatting with Matt just now lead to us writing the game. You have two stats (stolen from 3:16):Sneaking Around (SA)
Not Sneaking Around (NSA)
Divide 10 points between them; roll under to succeed. Done and done. Might have to actually play this at some point.

Story Now play is much more difficult with 5 or more people at the table. Often, the game plain doesn't work at all.Discuss.

"We tried to play Primetime Adventures, but it wasn't exactly like how our group usually plays so we got confused and sad."This sentiment gets posted periodically. It still cracks me up. I always want to say, "It's almost like... PTA is a different game or something! Crazy."
Yesss.

Hammers: Threat or Menace?
Wednesday, August 05, 2009
The game says, "When there's a nail, use a hammer."The gamers see a nail. They pick up the hammer and smash each other's heads with it.
"Ow!" they say. "Urk!"
"Hammers suck!" they say. "For proof, you need only look at our bleeding scalps!"
"This game sucks, too," they say. "Because it told us to use a stupid hammer. Which hurts us in the head."
The game, second edition, says, "When there's a nail, use a hammer. DON'T BASH YOUR HEAD WITH THE HAMMER."
Hands are crushed instead. Little progress is made.
