Preliminary Design - Gamist Cubes & Narrativist Fate
Two different game ideas:
Cubes
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.
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!!
