Just found Play Dirty, John Wick rocks

Okay, two reason John Wick (wickedthought)rocks:

1. Play Dirty clips on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/LordStrange

2. After I told him we did a Narrative Control episode about Living City, he plugged it on his LJ and the show was nearly instantly flooded with downloads. It was very cool of him to throw a little love our way.

DundraCon 33 Submissions

Wow, it never ends.

So, I’m thinking about DDC 33.

Here are my ideas:

1. My first thought, based off how well My Life with Joker was received would be My Life with Palpatine. And while I LOVE the idea, frankly My Life with Master kind of underwhelmed me mechanically. I think the scene framing is cool, but the actual crunchy bits varied from mediocre to disappointing. So, I might run it with PTA instead, or Paul Strack’s Improv. Whatever it is, I want short scenes with only one test (die roll, card comparison, whatever) for conflict resolution. Any ideas on that front?

2. Star Wars Sons of Liberty / SotC mash up. The players take the roll of important Star Wars characters (like Luke, Leia, Han, etc) for a short (1/2 hour) Sons of Liberty engine driven (using turns rather than free play) vs. a character playing the Empire (maybe me). The result of the short game conveys the state of things in the long game. If the rebels win, things look good at first, to reveal the dark side hidden in shadows. If the Empire wins, thinks look grim from the get go. The long game would use SotC to make minor (non-cannon) characters doing something minor that will help the major characters along. Once they succeed or fail, we finish off with a SOL sytel game with the major characters kicking ass and taking names. Hmm.. this game is still very rough around the edges but I like the idea of macro/micro play.

3. 1001 Parsecs. You’re a slave of Jabba the Hutt. In efforts to stay alive and maybe be freed you must entertain him and appease his disgusting tastes. Using the engine for 1001 Nights.

Hmm.. can you tell I’ve got a Star Wars kick and an Indie game kick going on right now? Any thoughts.

I’m Burning for the Dresden Files RPG

I just got accepted for the second alpha test of Dresden Files RPG. Our group is collectively known as the Burners and we’ll be seeing the product packaged in a different form than the previous batch (the Bleeders). We get one chunk at a time to review, consume, shout about and then give Evil Hat feedback on.

I’ve got a lot of games going on right now (D&D, Buffy, SotC) but I’m confidant I can squeeze in Dresden, simply because so many people will be exited about the content. I’ll either be posting here, on my small games forum, or some new fangled Wiki just for DFRPG, This Modern Death’s Forum, or maybe all of the above.

For now, I make you all jealous with my new fancy banner add (compliments of Evil Hat):
