Game: We Stand Alone - Co-Operative Boardgame Playtest
System: Dice/Card Based Co-op Game
Format: PbP
Players: 2-4
Description: We Stand Alone is a co-operative 2-4 player dice and card-based game in which intrepid and possibly doomed heroes try and stave off waves of enemies from destroying their precious town. The game has a strong emphasis on challenging players to work out the best possible outcome from limited resources, and on providing multiple options to achieve the same or similar outcome. Despite being dice-based, luck is minimal and up-front - essentially player's options are somewhat randomised, but then they have total control over how they execute them. This has been playtested about 15 times so far and runs very smoothly, but I'm looking for some more opinions about balance etc. It's typically fairly challenging and a lot of fun!

Game: The Fragile Gods of Somewhere
System: Wingin' it! My last game, Sundown Run, tried to go more rules heavy and I didn't dig it
Format: CYOA / Godgame Hybrid
Players: 5 Gods BUT other readers can pool together to influence their rolls for good or ill, so we need all sorts of people!
Description:
The world is a mutable, malleable thing. In the immeasurable vastness of the Ocean, tiny pinpricks of Something burst into being, only to vanish. Without a stabilizing presence, they are hopeless against the crashing waves of Nothing. Without Gods, Something has no hope.

Gods float above the Ocean, droplets of dew against its immensity. Without worship, they perish, snuffed out. Small crumbs of Something draw countless Gods, feeding on eachother and on the life they nourish with their presence. All are doomed to return to the Ocean, but for a time they grow strong and fat, and it is enough. Without Something, the Gods have no hope.

Something new has risen from the foam. Something big. Somewhere. Unmolded, untouched by divine powers, it floats on the Ocean, drawing forth ever more matter with its gravity. Bounty beyond reckoning for any God strong enough to take it. Nothing like this has ever been encountered before - enough Something for dozens of Gods, or hundreds. But not all at once, oh no - it would have to be carefully rationed...


This is my 3rd CYOA that I'm running - it will be fairly fully illustrated and very casual. You should be able to drop in at almost any time and not have missed out on anything - or just lurk in the thread and look at pictures!

The Citadel is moving as quickly as it can to recruit them, but governments and corporations are moving just as fast to secure them for their own means.

*So, this game is a little weird: we aren't using a system. What we're doing is playing with the idea of making a system through play. It's explain in the thread proper, but we start with just a basic way of handling uncertainty and work from there to handle cases that pop-up in play, if we feel that the current rules aren't good enough.
