[eHalcyon]

I like science fiction.

eHalcyon: How many times do you think on this thread someone posted before you and you had to come up with a new question?

4-5, I think.

Robz, have you ever designed a full, complete tabletop game?

[werothegreat]

Game of Thrones, Bob's Burgers, South Park, Little Mosque, Colber Report/Daily Show (tie).

eHalcyon: If you had to pick a Dominion card for an avatar, which one would you choose?

Robz, have you ever designed a full, complete tabletop game?

Absolutely. Well, partly. I never designed, like, the pieces--we always just stole those from the regular RISK set. But I made gigantic, elaborate maps on posterboard, colored them with colored pencil and markers, laminated them, and designed the cards for the games. I seriously have a dozen of these. I designed several fictional worlds--at least one set in space--and made a bunch of boards based on established mythology. I think I did Pokemon, Super Mario Bros, Zelda, the University of Michigan, ancient China, Medieval Europe, Lost, and at least 4 wholly fictional ones. I might be missing some I can't think of. They usually contained between 2 and 3 times as many territories as normal Risk, with a bunch of other rules, including morale, upgrades, items, etc.

Does this surprise you? Clearly I'm crazy for games.

I meant a new game wholly yours, not fan stuff for another game.

eHalcyon: If you had to pick a Dominion card for an avatar, which one would you choose?

Silk Road, I think.  The art is quite nice and I haven't seen anyone else with it.

Um, going back a step, Robz, any attempts to write a novel?

[werothegreat]

Both of you need to figure out how to ask questions.

Robz/eHalcyon: Would you be interested in looking at the Hex Deck I posted about in the "Other board games" forum?

That was the first one I missed, and I was editing it in!

I must have missed that, but I'll go check.

5 favourite novels/series?

[Ozle]

FIGHT THE SYSTEM!!!

No questions here!

[Robz888]

Answering Ehal: Well, the versions of Risk I made actually have very little in common with the original, but I have not ever created a wholly unique gaming project, no!

I do write fiction periodically, including novels, and have made several attempts to get my short stories published. I will be trying again soon. The big problem is, I write for a living, so in my free time I don't always feel like firing up the word processor.

Answer to wero: I can't fit in another game right now, sorry! I'm swamped as it is.

Question for Ozle: What do you do for a living. Serious answer pleas~!

[sudgy]

Robz: Could you explain your earlier question?

[liopoil]

/in.

robz, have you seen http://www.wargear.net/? It's a risk site with a ton of different versions and such.

[werothegreat]

Song of Ice and Fire, Harry Potter, We the Living, Terry Pratchett's Discworld Series, His Dark Materials

liopoil: Why Chapel?

[sudgy]

wero: Why did you have to post right when I had gotten a question for liopoil?

[Robz888]

Like what sicence fiction

[sudgy]

Star Trek is a big one.  Most real-life like science fiction is nice (Star Trek tries to do this but fails most of the time).  I remember when I was watching the Avengers and understood their technobabble.  That was pretty cool.

Robz: Think you've played more irl mafia, or forum mafia?

[Ozle]

Question for Ozle: What do you do for a living. Serious answer pleas~!

Where would be the fun in that! I might as well start posting under my real name and talk about Dominion and stuff!

Unbelievably I have a very very boring and serious job, one that has 'Secret' level clearance!

Haha, naaah, what I really do is hunt stray dogs down and take them to the Pound, or possibly Disney Animation studios.

I stole it off a smaller kid.

Ohh, best ask a question I suppose....hmm........

How many Dominion players does it take to change a lightbulb?

[liopoil]

because I like trashing cards! . I'm considering switching to forge though, because that can trash as many cards as you want!

ozle: I don't know, how many dominion players does it take to change a lightbulb? (barring edge cases of very hard-to-reach lightbulbs)

3
1 to Screw the bulb
One to run the simulator and the last one to find an edge case for not needing light.

You forgot one to say how much better everything was on iso.

sudgy: Because.

Ozle: If you had to have a Dominion card avatar, which would you pick?
