Designer Swap

[DaR]

This is the wierdest thread I've ever seen. You guys have started up a meta-meta-game where everyone plays game designers, where the games themselves are the currency and the actual play of them are the mechanics.

<shakes head>

Now I've got to hurry up and create a character (i.e., become a game designer by completeing a game) so I can join in!

I know this isn't a constructive followup, but I have to say that this just absolutely made my day, as one of the funniest things I've read in weeks.

I think you've hit one of the reasons, artistically speaking, I was interested in this idea, since I love self-referential meta-thingies (yes, meta-thingies, you can quote me).

Yes, create your character, er, write your game...

Reaching back into my early days at the Forge, I find this.

Prescient, I'm prescient, I tell you :-)

Thanks you guys.  I told my group about this thread and they all said:

Oohhhhh...we're playtesters!

So I told them we'd play one new game per week.  With all of our schedules I figure that's all we can do while giving the games the justice they deserve.  

I'm going to start with Chthonian Redux, because Zak has been speaking to me, then I'll just go down the list.  

This is going to be fun.
