Need Violence! 24 Hour RPGs (Now available for download!)

Holy crap! That's a great idea. I am so in.

Imagine if we had 20-30 designers working on the games at one con.

The real key to success would be following this sort of schedule:

Thursday morning -- designers meet fans in a 1 hour seminar. Designers then go to their rooms.

Friday morning. Designers go to bed as their games are taken to the local copy shop/printer and turned into finished booklets.

Saturday morning. Let the gaming commence! Each gamer that gets a slot at one of the tables walks home with a printed copy of the game.

You could make it like an improv. At the end of hte seminar:

Mod: "Okay, someone call out a genre."
Audience Member #1: "Gunpowder fantasy!"
Mod: "Good. Now we need a mechanic--just one mechanic."
AM2: "Uses only a 12-sided die!"
AM3: "Make it competitive!"
AM4: "Uses coins!"
Mod: "Coins? Sounds cool. Finally, we need a title."
AM5: "The Root of All Evil!"
Mod: "Excellent! Okay, game designers, your clock starts ... now!"

I am officially organizing this. Gen Con '06?
