GAME DESIGN BLOG

Every gamer is a closet designer, that's a fact of life. I make no claims to be an exception. My interest in designing games goes back to a very early Zulu game based upon the movie by the same name (I think I was ten). I'm not in the big leagues (i.e., think I can do something good enough to publish), so I usually give away what I create. Most of my designs are not hard core wargames, they are instead rather whimsical objects. If you are interested in one of these, click on a link. If you would like to playtest, I'll set up an account for you on the SECRET PLAYTEST PAGE.   Being the exceptionally dysfunctional fella that I am, I blow hot and cold on projects based upon real life factors; after all, I don't make a living at this and therefore am not on a deadline.  So expect a fairly mellow development cycle from me and very little in the way of demands. Free Game - WEREWOLF No, I didn't design this one, it's been in public domain for quite awhile.  However, I did design a card set and made it available for download as a PDF file.  Help yourself, it's over at the 50Megs site, on the boardgames page. Free Game- AMISH RAKE FIGHT, THE BOARDGAME ARF: the boardgame is a work in progress.. a microgame about .. let's say the scene in WITNESS where Harrison Ford gets really pissed off!! :-D SSTS: Simple Shipboard Tactical System A game about fighting aboard galleys.  Designed to be a cut out, paper soldiers game where you maneuver the soldiers on shiptemplates.  Fun!
