Is gently caress You Erick Wujcik an acceptable game name? e; this is not an entry post, to be clear. I want to know if "gently caress You Erick Wujcik" would make a good game name if I were to enter.

Okay, fine. I am making gently caress You Erick Wujcik, a game about bored immortal royalty who can travel trans-dimensionally competing for prestige so they can dick each other over in front of their dad.

I considered keeping this until 00:56 BST, but I want to go buy a big bag of Maltesers now and I wouldn't want to miss the deadline because of stupid posturing. So here's my outline for FYEW: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15337665/FYEW.pdf No fancy graphics or anything but it hopefully gives you an idea of how the game will play.

While we're waiting for RBH to do magic judge stuff, here are a couple of ideas that were collectively had by #badwrongfun but no one bothered to make into a game: Winson Paine came up with the idea of having "God of War: Leverage where you have to scam the gods or punish them ironically." He added, "YOU HAVE RUINED ZEUS" and "THUNDERBOLT FUTURES HAVE CRASHED." On a similar note, Hamboning proposed that "a game where you topple the gods by undermining their faith base via conversion and double crossing would be cool." Finally, RPZip and I came up with the idea of LUCHADOR OPERA, wherein the players are luchadors in an opera about wrestling. There is no combat, only singing. In Italian. Hopefully the theme for next month's contest will be LUCHADORS and I will be able to make LUCHADOR OPERA happen.

And here you go, my woefully under-formatted first module for gently caress You Erick Wujcik, the basic rules: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15337665/FYEW1%20-%20Basic%20Rules.pdf Next module will most likely be advanced rules (with a couple of ideas to make the game rely less on voting if you want to swing that way) plus some setting ideas, and the third will be an example of play either made up or cribbed from a playtest. As I am terribad at art stuff and more importantly believe that my game can stand on the basis of its own artistic merit and terrible 90s-esque jargon infestation, I shan't be chasing any of the bonus points for this round.

alakath posted:gently caress YOU ERICK WUJCIK, by Lemon Curdistan: The basic concept of spoiled space-princes bitching at each other is hilarous. And you know I'm a sucker for voting mechanisms. Hey, thanks for the review - that will be coming in the advanced rules module, along with Advantages (you start with three which are not revealed to other Princes, whenever a Contest is around one of your Advantages you get +1 vote - like a free point of Favour spent for you - and must reveal the Advantage you're using; there may or may not be a mechanic for buying Advantages at a cost of 3 Favour or something).

And here is module two of gently caress You Erick Wujcik, the Optional Rules: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15337665/FYEW2%20-%20Optional%20Rules.pdf I have managed to make this even less legible than module one!  Included are: - rules to generate a list of terms for the King to choose during the Day phase, rather than leaving it up to the King's imagination; - rules to introduce character abilities to the game to help make voting less important, if that's your boat; - rules to basically play something vaguely more like Amber Diceless except without all the suck. These are actually fairly different from the regular FYEW rules and a lot closer to what I had in mind when I originally entered this contest. I'm glad I ditched most of them in favour of making the game about cosmic teenagers, but I figured I would present them as part of this module.

MadRhetoric posted:I would very much like to play gently caress You, Eric Wulgus for the bonus objective. I'll see if I can run a game of Nothing Amazing, using the Alternate Pitch rules in Module 1 if I'm too lazy to come up with a sample pitch. If you do this online, totally stick your logs or whatever you've got online - my third module is going to be an example of play, so it would own if it could be a real one instead of made-up! e; also I find the serial misspellings of e2; designer note: no, there is no fixed list of Advantages. You don't need one because people will automatically gravitate towards broad categories of actions if they want their Advantages to come up in play.

Here is Module 3 of FYEW, the Example of Play! It sucks even worse than the last module, thus continuing my downward spiral: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15337665/FYEW3%20-%20%28Not%29%20Actual%20Play.pdf As my tradgames playing, I was planning on running Last Stand on Monday and offering that up, but I was sick and couldn't. Fortunately, I played DW with fax on Sunday! Unfortunately, he hadn't configured things right so you can literally only hear him and none of the players: aldantefax posted:I figured out that unfortunately it captured my audio but nobody else's due to either how the audio settings on my computer were set or Google Hangouts is incompatible with direct audio capture, so it's literally 2 1/2 hours of me talking to myself while looking at a black screen on the left and two chat boxes on the right. I am Iskandr of Algamar, the mighty Fighter. This probably won't count but what the hell, it was fun anyway.

I might finish it up later, but will unfortunately not be able to make the deadline. Dude, post what you have. You won't be DQ'd and will at least have submitted something.

Druggeddwarf posted:Well, can we do gently caress you Eric whatever over Skype our something like that? There seems to be enough of us. Only the King is allowed to write stuff down, so yeah, use Skype or Google hangouts or something. It's also probably not going to take an hour to play if you go for the recommended amount of players! Whoops. I promised Ettin I would reciprocate and playtest Retrocausality but Ulta has that covered! Everything that's made it to the end looks hella cool though so I'll pick a game to playtest a bit later based on which ones still need testing. Sadly, I can't do Amp 2 Amp or Dinosaur Central Park due to lack of IRL people to play with, and Intersector makes my brain instinctively recoil in fear and confusion and  .European timezone is going to be loving terrible to run these.

Rulebook Heavily posted:Everyone is in some tiny amount of luck! Since this week (and especially friday) are turning out to be immense hectic bullshit for me personally, I will extend the deadline for the playtests to the second of september - that's next sunday. That gives everyone a weekend to playtest, which I am sure many of you will take the opportunity to jump on. Thanks. This means European people aren't totally hosed over.

gently caress you I'm disqualified but I'll still respond to feedback if I want Thanks for playing this, for starters. Second: it's not actually set in Amber, and if it were polished up it would definitely use different names - the Amber/Pattern/etc. names are all just placeholders lifted from Amber Diceless rather than the books themselves. Basically, the only thing you need to know about the setting is that there's a realm at the centre of the universe ruled by a King, the King has X spoiled children as their Princes, and there are an infinity of alternate realities and fantasy realms that the Princes can go exploring. Thirdly: it is designed to be an adversarial game, not a co-operative game - this is why you can't concede contests for mutual benefit, incidentally. You start with 3 Favour to make it easy to be knocked out, as I wanted the game to play fairly fast. I think the problem is mostly that 10 Favour is a lot - it would work better with the target as 5 or 6 Favour. Keep in mind, you're supposed to always be on the lookout for flaws in the other Princes' stories that you can exploit for your gain (this is why the Princes aren't allowed to write anything down). e; also, I did actually write an example of play: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15337665/FYEW3%20-%20%28Not%29%20Actual%20Play.pdf I'm looking forward to any feedback on how to improve the game, though! Thanks for posting it.

Flaky Biscuit posted:Now if this was a party game where you had up to eight or so players, that would be better. It's supposed to be, which is why the rules state the game is designed for six people and a GM! The original goal was for this to be played in under an hour, hopefully with less than three "rounds." Flaky Biscuit posted:Third, I kind of see the King as a peripheral character. I didn't really feel that they were important to the game (besides the tie breaking duty), and could be safely removed without changing anything, which would allow a smaller group to tell more stories. This is why the rules include a suggestion to have the tiebreaker/word-picker stuff rotate among the players every turn. Flaky Biscuit posted:All in all, I'm just not sure what this did that Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen didn't do better.  I'm not sure either.Some good feedback and suggestions, though. Thanks!
