Most of the setting info as such will just be lists for inspiration. That way the setting will expand in detail to match the preference of the players. World War II history nuts can nitpick stuff, and the game can reflect that. Those who don't care as much can just pick up interesting tidbits from a list and then move on.The lists themselves probably need a lot of work, largely because I'm not

It's a pity that rock and roll is never invented in the game's timeline. Because the flag of the British Fascist puppet government is just asking for some heavy metal guitar riffs:Can't you hear it right now?If the game ever made it to complete published book, you could see that flag showing up in the background of any image depicting the setting.

I've pretty much decided to go with this idea. Already I have a decently compelling situation, some decent mechanics and a good idea what more it needs.You are resistance fighters in Nazi controlled Britain. Somehow the war did not turn around for the Allies… anti-interventionist forces in the US took power, or the Germans developed the bomb first or something. Maybe the Russians and Germans

So at this point I have two decent ideas, but I'm not sold on either one. I'll flesh each out a bit more in this blog later tonight or tomorrow sometime, then eventually decide on one and develop it further. Hopefully have a rough draft before the 1 week mark, then a more complete game before the two week line.Basic ideas:A star chart (maybe astrological) game, where each planet reprresents

So, continuing my initial overview of this year's rules. Now we have "Special Distinctions", which are like the Achievements you get in various videogames.I'm trying for the Service Medal just to be helpful, but that really just means reading and commenting on things and doesn't tie into the game design portion directly. So what other Special distinctions are interesting? Let's see: The Al

Ingredients and themes and optional medals for this year have been posted. So what do we have this year?We have a theme of Intrigue. That's interesting, though in the last year I have organized a half-dozen LARPs with varying levels of intrigue and started a D&D campaign where the PCs fight in a resistance movement against evil efreet in the City of Brass:If you do something here, you'll get

My name is Nick Wedig, and I design games for fun. This blog will cover my attempts to create a new game, as part of Game Chef 2009.If you care, you could follow my personal blog, which is about whatever things that interest me at the moment: usually roleplaying games, video games, mocking creationism, strange metaphors and similar geek pastimes. You could also follow my attempt to write a
