3/14/2003 anonymouse: [Donjon] Permanent possessions at character creation?

3/23/2003 anonymouse: [Donjon] Abundant dice got you down?
Use a Palm! Or a souped-up calculator. Or something along those lines.
I've been playing Donjon for a few weeks now; most of that has been online, over IRC (hopefully…

3/25/2003 anonymouse: [Donjon] using Attributes for lack of Ability
Is this good with the rules-as-written? Obviously if it works for me, no problem, but I'm trying to stick to the rules for awhile before branching off and tweaking things…

3/31/2003 anonymouse: [Donjon] Setting: Hyrule.
Been playing a lot of Wind Waker recently, so a Donjon-themed Link was on my mind.
As a variant, it'd be interesting to turn an Attributes dial and use -…

4/16/2003 anonymouse: Spotty HTML code?
Specifically, I occasionally want to use a horizontal line to mark off sections in a post, but the simple and standard:

4/22/2003 anonymouse: Go as primary resolution mechanic?
Idea:
You use a 9x9 board; the 13 and the 19 are probably too large for any kind of quick resolution.
Every action has a stone-amount associated with it; maybe…

6/13/2003 anonymouse: Gamist Article-inspired character advancement mechanic.
Specifically, this question/bulletpoint:
How tough and effective should a starting character be? If it's too high, then there's no reason to improve; if it's too low, the early stages of…

6/13/2003 anonymouse: the Gamist Hard Question.
(side note 1: 'NIMBY' probably should've gone in the Glossary. the only reason I recognised it was from reading SimCity manuals over the years)

7/20/2003 anonymouse: HEX/cyberpunk characters.
HEX is technically "techno-urban" roleplaying, but traditional cyberpunk is certainly found under that umbrella. I mention HEX specifically because I don't know of anyone else working on such a game…

So, check out: http://www.indie-rpgs.com/viewtopic.php?t=7616
If this looks interesting, but you're not really sure how it'd play out, we could get together somewhere and spend a couple of hours watching FLCL,…
