The Gaming Den

It's profoundly dependent on GM quality, like most Magic-Tea-Party-heavy games, but the basic premise and mechanic gives a good improvisational GM several solid tools to work with to craft deeply tense and compelling games. Get it if you know a GM like that.

Erich_Zahn is not a dev to the best of my knowledge.

Big thanks to all of you who supported Myriad Song. We made it to $7,325!

In the actual Jack Vance novels, wizards were very competent and dangerous people well before they actually cast any spells. If you want Vancian casting, you'll benefit from Vancian everything else - which is to say, the spells aren't your default means of interacting with the world so much as the a...

Thanks for comin' out, Schawrz.

Join Jason Holmgren, the Fearless Imperator of Sanguine Games, creator of “Joe Genero”, “Ironclaw”, and “Myriad Song”, for an IRC (text-based chat) on Thursday, May 23rd , hosted by Dan Davenport of The Hard-Boiled GMShoe . The show starts at 7pm Central Standard Time (GMT-6) . You can join the cha...

I dunno about that, Schwarzkopf. We're hella angry people.

More or less, although it's a bit less absolute in hierarchy than that.

Buy MY book instead!

At this point, the Kickstarter looks more like a way for them to giggle helplessly as money rains down on them hand over fist.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29136974/myriad-song-photo-main.jpg So I'm the editor for this game , which I believe the Gaming Den as a whole will have a wonderful time tearing in to pieces in Gaming Den fashion. This is a shameless attempt to advertise this product to you in the hopes that y...

Playtesting hasn't actually started yet, which isn't a great sign. It won't be an actively BAD sign unless/until they decide to just skip it altogether.

None of the physical books you get by pledging to the Kickstarter are PoD.

Plague, you are frickin' omnipresent.

I'm one of the editors. Ask me anything.

Not necessarily, but the game then becomes about protecting the cart.

'Inventory management, the game' is not necessarily something with mass appeal, but it's something that I've wanted to play for a long time.

Can you give a link to these studies?

why

It's like having a really nice sword. Sure, it's nice, but it isn't irreplaceable. You aren't hot shit because you've got the deck; the deck is hot shit because you're wielding it.

Carrying a 'deck as an INTERFACE, i.e., basically just a keyboard, would make it disposable but no less iconic.

If you're really paranoid, you might want to get a faraday hat, but I'd be more worried about people shooting you with bullets than jacking in to your head.

I actually like the idea of the Lemurians looking like what our vision of the future is. Glossy Apple aesthetics dominate and all the technology is clean, sterile, and safe-looking...But that's because the Lemurians put all their effort into being what humans think advanced technology should look l...

Being able to program up a quick monte-carlo simulation can do a lot to compensate for difficulty with probability.

All the games by Sanguine Productions use 'Game Host'.

If you could put one of them BENEATH the other instead of BESIDE the other, that would also help.

My understanding is that Morke is aiming at a more human scale, narratively. Way less cosmic wack-out nonsense.
