Preliminary Design - Gamist Cubes & Narrativist Fate

[Zak Arntson]

Two different game ideas:

Competitive roleplaying corporate drones, a la Office Space (the movie).  I wanted a game that uses cards, is competitive, and a commentary on my workplace.

http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?itemid=18479375">Eye of Fate

Narrativist game where being a hero is far riskier and unattractive to, say, being a shepherd.

Actual Game Design notes to follow later ...

I say:

1) I love Cubes. We play. Soon.
2) Why are you working on this instead of Donjon Krawl? Grr.

1) Yes.  I was thinking this weekend.  My mother-in-law is staying with us and so my wife is busy.  I haven't really seen my wife in a few weeks, except maybe Christmas day.  So either this weekend or the first weekend AFTER I spend time with my wife.

2) I won't get in trouble typing into the little LiveJournal window at work.  I'm also feeling the rush to get a monthly rpg out for December.  I'm thinking Cubes, Eyes of Fate, Fungeon or um, possibly another.  Votes?

3) I got some money for Christmas, and since we budgeted so awesomely for our own Christmas shopping, it equals extra money that doesn't go to debt.  So I'm getting a domain name soon ... Harlekin-Maus will be official and all that!!
