Things I've been doing

[benlehman]

I wrote and laid out a game for a contest. It's here. It's called "Being a role-playing game on the topic of the High-Flying adventures of Beatrice Henrietta Bristol-Smythe, DBE, daring Aviatrix and accomplished Exploratrix, and her Gentleman Companion, who for a Modest Fee, accompanies Beatrice Henrietta Bristol-Smythe, DBE, when the Occasion warrants her an Escort." It's one page long and completely reinvents the concept of the role-playing game resolution system*. You might like it.

I got a fellowship for this summer. Late, sadly too late to cover my airfare, but better late than never. This is pretty exciting. It saves me almost six grand on tuition and living expenses. I'm willing to take suggestions as to what to do with the money, but I'm probably just going to fritter it away on tuition and living expenses for the fall.

I'm going to take a shot at finishing the Drifter's layout before classes start.

*It's actually cribbed from another game of mine, Clover, which itself is cribbed a little from Polaris and 1001 nights. Still, it's pretty darned nifty.

That's a really awesome-looking game.

This is the best game ever: Vin Diesel, you've lost this round.

I love it! I want to try playing.

I really like that it could conceivably work for almost any number of people > 2.

Hmm... I'll have to try that some time. The single page format really helps for the conflict resolution system, since it helped me figure out fairly quickly which parts really just weren't there.

A game well worth playing. Most excellent, sir.
