I don't know that the game would have been special, but I really want to use that map sometime.  It was delightfully stupid.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">For Burning Wheel, I pitched an all-dwarf game about colonizing a remote mountain stronghold to my old group.  Admittedly, I was playing a lot of Dwarf Fortress at the time, but I think that it would be pretty flexible as a starting point.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">No system idea for this one, but I was talking with a buddy of mine earlier today, and we have a relatively longstanding in-joke about the Ogallala Aquifer being the largest submarine base in the world and America's gateway to the Pacific.  There's part of me that wants to take that sort of gross misunderstanding of American geography and turn it into some sort of game, misreading other features, too (like the San Andreas and Hayward faults being lizardpeople superhighways rather than, well, fault lines).</li> </ul></blockquote><p></p>
