Party Games

[Nathan]

I would gladly assist in a layout/website/whatever of this sort of project. I really do like the idea of selling it for a bit of cash to keep the Forge alive -- but, that may not be exactly feasible.

If we do it for free, sounds okay too I suppose.

Thanks,
Nathan

There's nothing wrong with including the very same Donate button that's currently available.

Best,
Ron

I agree with Ron on this one. If Vincent wants to do this project, this is the way it'd have to be for me to support it:

- All the authors agree to let someone compile their games. I don't want to see any contracts or anything like that. I want e-mails between the authors and whoever compiles this, cc'ed to webmaster@indie-rpgs.com. If the game's for sale elsewhere, I don't want to see it. All the games must either be already out there and free, or something the author did just for this project.

- The final product is a PDF - not hard copy. Maybe it'd be printed and given away at a convention - that's fine.

- It's given away here. It would, definitely, have the same donate button beside it, with a message like, "Like this? Donate some cash" but wordier.

Clinton,

I suggest "Like our shit? Give us lots of cash!" right next to a "Buy Our Shit" button.

Just to chime in, I have a game I make people play at parties, and the rules take up maybe half a page with examples. It's totally RPG-unrelated, but I should think that's okay. You can use it if you want.

It's about drawing strange creatures, and was invented by myself when I was a wee one. I forgot about it for years, but Monster Party reminded me of it and I've had great success with it since. (thanks Jared!) The basic gist is, everybody is drawing a strange creature, but you have to include certain features. Everybody takes turns specifying features, and each person has to include every feature. Nobody can look at each other's papers. This creates a bunch of differently ugly-looking monsters and a lot of people regressing to childhood.

Yeah, that's probably too short to count. I'm going to write it up longer and put in up on the 'net when I have a place for it.
