Title: Figgys guides?
Post by: chuckhazard on September 22, 2006, 12:16:24 AM
Hi all, I was going through the resources links and discovered Uncle Figgys Guides was no longer a live link.  I found a link to parts of his guide via Google, but the 'new' home at dragondogpress.com is a dead page.  Does anyone know the status of these guides?  Have a version they can link or upload?  The material I read via Google was superb, it would be a shame to lose a resource like this to the entropy of the internet.

The reason I was looking (and not necessarily what I found from Figgy, even though his stuff is great) is writings on game mechanics.  Choosing mechanics, balancing them, etc.  If anyone can point me to resources on this topic, I would be equally appreciative.
