Under the Hood – Grabbing Eyeballs
Grabbing Eyeballs
By The Warden
PREVIOUSLY: After weeks of humming and hawing over what I wanted to attempt, building up a core ruleset, establishing a concept, and writing about it extensively for nearly every week over the past couple of months, I have over 3,000 words ready to share as Project Phoenix’s initial draft. But not yet. Last week, the topic was filling in those unexpected gaps...

Rebuilding the Gazebo with Plugable
By Cape Rust
As you can tell it has been a long time between Gazebo installments. Excuses are like underarms, everyone has them and they all stink, so no need for any of those…..

Last week, I defined the exact terminology for two of most pressing and challenging elements in the game: Minor and Major Complications. With a clear...
Convention Report – UK Games Expo
UK Games Expo
By Martin Tideswell
I’m going to stick my neck out and say that this was the year that UKGamesExpo went from being that skinny lad who everyone either ignored or pushed around at school and became a man. With a swagger and a Charisma of 17. And tattoos. Measuring it in terms of attendees, the eighth UKGE was a huge success. Initial estimates say 6,000 unique visitors and an overall...
Under the Hood – Establishing Terminology
Establishing Terminology
By The Warden
