I just finished my first 24 hour RPG for 1,000 Monkeys, 1,000 Typewriters. The theme was “Mr. toaster needs a soul.” I ended up writing a narrative-style teamwork and exploration focused RPG. It isn’t done, but it is a decent start. You can get it here: Appliance Adventures
Okay, no one breath on the site funny. It appears that everything is functioning correctly for the moment. It appears that I had a few unclosed tags in my post code, and that caused the shambles you could see on the site a few minutes ago.
Don’t worry, I still plan on redoing the site design, but now it isn’t an emergency.
So, I went ahead and upgraded my Wordpress installation. As you can probably tell by the drab tones, and the distinct lack of the candy-coated skull, I b0rked my theme and ran back to the ol’ classic style.I guess it was about time to do a redesign.� I would have preferred to set my own timeline for the redesign, however.
Just saw this link on BoingBoing. Galaxiki is a collaborative fictional galaxy. A randomly generated galaxy to serve as a canvas for story creation? How cool is that? I haven’t yet created an account, but I have done a little exploring, and I like what I see. The site gives lots of crunchy data on each solar system and planet.
You can buy a system for a donation of at least $6, but it is free to explore and work with the community solar systems.
When I was younger, (about 8 years ago, I believe) I was a big fan of Last Unicorn Games’ Star Trek RPG. I don’t believe I ever played a campaign longer than a few games, but I had a wonderful time crafting settings and scenarios. I probably still have some of my solar systems sitting around. I might have to dig ‘em out and see if I can find any analogs to these randomly generated systems.
I heard this on NPR the other day; I have to say, it was priceless to hear it announced by one of those perfect radio voices:
A few weeks ago, 14 squirrels equipped with espionage systems of foreign intelligence services were captured by [Iranian] intelligence forces along the country’s borders.
Brilliant!
Being a rather poor blogger, this slipped my mind until I saw it on Boing Boing today.
I’ll work on that.
