If you are willing to spend the money, there is always the Formula D Board Game, and its expansions.

I have played it and greatly enjoyed it. For my son, for Origins a few years back, I wrote a Smurf adventure, using the Toon rules, "A Night in Smurf Manor," and he ran that a few times during the convention as an event (I've run it as well for family a few times). I did a follow up, "A Smurf...

You forgot the very next sentence: " "You", in this case, includes the GM as well as the other players. "

On questions of design, and "advancement," there is a lot of wisdom in the well known quote: "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." (Antoine de Saint-Exupery) Board games are my other hobby, and the mark of a good board game...

I cannot differentiate between those two options. If I am having fun, then it is a good experience and if I am have a good playing experience, I will be having fun. How do you have a good playing experience without having fun? And why do you want such a thing? What is your idea of a good...

Ah. I think I understand better now. The problem here is the use of the word "advanced," which it turns out, is meaningless, because you have no set destination in mind as to where an advanced game will take us. I am not sure that there is such a thing as an "advanced" game, though I have a...

I've read through the entire thread, and all your definitions, and I am still not quite clear on what you are looking for. I think you are wanting graphs and charts to provide versimilitude, but at times it sounds like you might be wanting something a little different. The problem is that you...

Well, in fairness, with murder there is generally a body, which is itself evidence of a kind.

A few years back, we released The Curse of the Golden Spear Trilogy, set in the realm of Kaidan. These modules were well recieved, and encouraged us to begin work on a full campaign setting. We are glad to present The Gamemaster's Guide to Kaidan, a full campaign book exploring this oriental...

The closest gaming store of any kind is an hour away from me.

Way back in 2002, it was a Saturday, and I asked... It might be interesting to find out what traditions people have made for themselves with this holiday we created... In my family, we try to make the time to play a game, either an RPG or a longish thematic boardgame but, since it is GM's...

And we have a winner!

Congratulations to Deuce Traveler. Looks like you held on to your title! And good job to everyone else involved. I would also like to thank my fellow judges for their work; and kudos to Lwaxy for slugging through what sounds like a nasty bug to help us bring this across the finished line...

I am really hoping that our contestants aren't wearing out their refresh keys as the days pass and we await Lwaxy's return to health. :)

I just read Iron Sky's judgment and for the first time in this contest we do not agree. Get better soon Lwaxy, it all rests on you. :)

Well, it took me longer to write up a judgment than I thought it would and non-internet life kept wanting to interfere, but my judgment is posted. Now to go read Iron Sky's

We come to the last round, and two good entries, Deuce Traveler’s “The Hulk,” going up against Rune’s “With Strange Aeons…” I will be sticking with my point system of scoring, grading on Rules, Ingredient Use, Usability, and Style. As far as Rules, both entries were on time and under the...

The thing about taking off two days is that one ends up two days behind. I will try to do a judgment by this evening if I can.

I didn't want to mention it before the entries were done, but my grandmother passed away at the age of 97 this past Saturday. The funeral is tomorrow, and I will be traveling today and tomorrow. I will not get to the judging until Thursday. Though I will have internet access, I doubt my brain...

Ladies and Gentlemen and other sundry onlookers! We come to the moment we have all been waiting for. Iron DM 2016 - The Final Round!!! In corner one we have Rune ready to take on the Champion. Rune has been rarin' for this match for some time and has managed, after a close semi-finals, to...
