[The Grid] CORE

So I have had an idea for a game that has been running around in my head for a few days. I want to do another PocketMod game like my Edge of Space game (least that is what it started out that way). I had the ideas floating around for about a week but have not had the chance to put it on paper.

It is not complete, and I do not care for the "Health" bit I wrote in there. It needs work. I am working on something more with the "code" that makes up a program, but the idea is still forming itself in my thoughts at the moment.

Essentially, the idea is something akin to the TRON movies. Programs in revolution against the system. Rebels running for their lives, fighting for their freedom under an oppressive and overpowering empire that wants to locate them and crush them.

Fun, eh?

blah....

These last two or three weeks of work have really killed me. Must have really burnt me out completely:

I saw Iron Man 3 last night, eh, it was ok.

I got on G+, and no offense to anyone out there, but I didn't give a crap. Nothing hit my sweet spot.

I opened up an PDF on my iPad. Nope nothing there interests me either.

A book? Nope, nothing there either.

Maybe I will write something. Opened up Writer....nope nothing there either.

A map! Surely that will do it, I love maps.    Alas, poor Horatio, nothing there either...



What heck?

I am bored with the world......

[micromap] X Twists & Turns

And now we come to Micromap X. This one is full of twists and turns that will make every party nervous and wonder about what lies around the next corner.I am hoping to have some time this weekend to produce these in a pretty scanned PDF for everyone to play with.

[micromap] IX The Altar & The Pond

I am digging these little maps but will probably have to stop at ten, got a big project on the horizon and it will eat up every waking moment I have that is left over after work, gym, family....

I love the size of the card, I can usually fit somewhere between two and four rooms depending on the size I make them. I think these would work great for a night's adventure, not too long, not too short. Just enough to cover a single night, maybe less depending on the level of evil of the GM and the caution of the players.

Right now I am hoping I get a chance to scan these and drop them into a PDF, I plan on putting this on RPGNow for a free download for the awesome folks out there to use. If people dig it, maybe I will produce add-ons. Let's hope for some free time this weekend....

People seem to be interested in the idea of a zine based around these, so I am toying with some ideas with that regard.

An idea for a contest....?

I am toying with another contest (I do like them so). Perhaps I will make four or five new cards, put them up on the site, then give folks the opportunity to arrange them as they want and flesh them out. The person who makes the coolest mini-dungeon would win the actual cards.

A further idea, perhaps we (the winner and I) could make them into a small zine, I could print out and send to whomever ordered one. I would split the proceeds with the winner. It won't be much, so don't get too excited, producing zines will not make anyone a millionaire. ;)

So, what do folks think of that idea? Sound interesting? Let me know!
