Had an idea for a space game the other day:

The players are on a ship headed on an expedition into "The Dark Star," a huge event horizon that seems to have far less mass than a black hole should have. Nothing that's gone into it has ever been heard from again, though aside from probes no one's ever intentionally flown into it. Might be some alien races already planned for the space setting in which the dark star exists, but players are encouraged to make their own, like in many space games. In fact, to encourage creativity, no Earthlings allowed. No humans, modified humans, uplifted Earth species, nada.

Dooo eeeeet.

Plot twist: The Dark Star got the 2,000,000th post on Bay12.

You know what, I think I'll go ahead and make a planning thread.

I was thinking of doing a Dwarf fortress game where one player (or the GM) assigns jobs and the players have to go about doing them in whatever way need be.
I think a player should be overseer so the GM could sit and watch and do rolls for the dwarves actions and post other things going on and whenever a goblin siege or FB happen and watch as the overseer attempts to get his dwarves/players to defend the fort.
Just a thought and I have no time this semester to even set it up so I don't even know why I'm talking about it .-.

What's the name of that one recurring game on FGRP where people roll dices to move and place effects or items on the tile they land on and race each other to go over the track twice?

[Tawa]

I'll have it up sometime before the end of the week. I wanted to write personalized character sheets for the villains.

It is time.

I've never heard of such a thing. It sounds interesting, though.

That would be (insert number here) tile dash if you're referring to what I think you are. I actually ran it once but I'm horrible at running games so it kind of died. Don't think anyone else has tried to do it here, though it'd be great if they did. I originally sort of stole it from the mspa forums when they still did forum games. IIRC, it was 100 tiles at first. The amount of times people go over the track tends to vary too. More laps means more chances each tile gets used to cause chaos. If I were to re run it nowadays I'd probably do maybe 20/25/30 tiles and 3 laps because of reasons. Tiles are defined by the players by the way, usually within certain limits and rules.

Edit: Here, links to some more complete games for examples. (They didn't finish either but hey, they did better than I did.)

I'm already running a DnD game and a mafia game, but this sounds fun enough to run that I'm going to possibly run it too.
But first I have to read those links you gave me.

((Dear lord where does my time to be a PLAYER go? ))

Anybody know if there is a free pathfinder book on the inter webs? I can get a hold of one and would like one for a game I want to run in a month or so

I'd be down for it... IF you let me play a gunslinger.

Done reading through the two linked 100th square threads.

Thanks
Do you mean down for playing the game I want to set up

Also: that site is not at all set up for mobile devices

I already learned the intricacies of PF and wrote up a character sheet and I'm working on a second just in case.

The game I want to run might be a bit confined when it comes to guns, it's going to be like flintlocks, wheel locks, and mussle loaders, maybe revolvers.
