The <a href="https://200wordrpg.github.io/">200 Word RPG Challenge</a> is a pretty simple idea for a contest - you have to write an entire Role Playing Game in 200 words or less. Actually getting a game that small which is still exciting and still makes sense is the hard part.<br />
Toppy's game; <a href="https://200wordrpg.github.io/2018/rpg/finalist/2018/05/18/WordCross.html">Word/Cross </a>has been chosen from nearly 800 entries as one of the 50 finalists.

You stand about the deck, watching the marvels of the ocean, enjoying the wind in your hair and talking of the bright future which awaits you on the newly settled skisland of Yinnar. The day is warm, the sky clear, and flying fish leap from the waves beneath, but then, with the suddenness so characteristic of these tropical waters, clouds close in, the wind picks up, and the rains come down. Soon the crew are fighting desperately with the Herald’s sails, lightning flickers about the mast, and the hurricane screams through the rigging. One of the crew, eyes wide with panic shoves you below and shouts at you to stay there until the storm is past. The ship lurches and sways madly, driven pell mell before the winds, the rain beating on the deck and the roaring wind filling the hull with noise so loud you cannot hear one another. How long this lasts you cannot tell, and then, unbelievably, a louder noise assaults you. The hull bucks as it is struck a thunderous blow, hurling you and every loose object below decks upwards, and tearing great jagged rents in the hull timbers. To your horror, you realise the Herald of Eagles has crashed. In the maelstrom of water, shattering timbers and howling winds, you desperately grab at any solid objects you can lay hand to. As the ship is torn apart, you lose consciousness…</span></span><br />

If that's not enough for you; we're going to be using the prototype V.4 rules, which add a few interesting new wrinkles to the gameplay.

Club funds have been wisely invested in a copy of the latest edition of Blood Bowl, the game of fantasy football. A game which can best be described as exactly like American football, but with orcs and slightly more violence. At the moment, we'll be limited to playing one game at a time since there's only one board in the game, however I have enough teams to allow for multiple games, and will be building a second board. So this Thursday you can learn to play, and hopefully the week after will see some more serious games happening, with the possibility of a league.<br />

Tim has announced his intention to run a Star Wars EotE campaign at Gippsland Gamers. Character generation will take place this week (Thurs 5th) and games will kick in the week after. I for one am really stoked because I will finally get the chance to play in rather than GM my favourite system.Puddingwrestlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05028533494896159225noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1536719120034286299.post-33515804489110027532016-11-26T11:21:00.005+11:002016-11-26T11:21:54.351+11:00GeekFest 2017: Tickets and eventsGeekFest 2017 tickets are now on sale!<br />

Star Wars: The Edge of the Empire is winding down.<br />
The campaign has been great fun, but relying on having everyone available has meant that we often can't play. We have also been restricted in the number of players who can take part, meaning that not everyone gets to take part.<br />
This is all about to change.<br />
When EotE finishes, we will start playing Pathfinder.<br />
Pathfinder is a fantasy RPG which evolved out of Dungeons and Dragons. It is robust, well supported, and fairly easy to learn. We'll be playing short adventures which will take up a single session, and we'll be playing as mercenary adventurers, so it doesn't matter if someone can't make it to the session - they're off on a mission somewhere else. We'll also be using published modules, which will cut back on the preparation time and DM fatigue.<br />
<br />

Here are a few house rules:<br />
<ol>
<li>We are using only characters, races, spells etc. from the core rule book (Classes are: Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer, Wizard. Races are: Human, Halfling, Half-Orc, Half-Elf, Elf, Gnome, Dwarf.)</li>
<li>No one can play a chaotic neutral character.</li>
<li>Character stats will be generated by the 'Roll 3D6 six times and assign the results to stats' method.</li>
<li>You can use a <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/leonsec.vic.edu.au/spreadsheets/d/1P7-Z38l2WemSJ5TcIbPsYlqUNbTNSF8vBuML_cqiaIY/edit?usp=sharing">spreadsheet</a> or online generator to create a character, but you must have a hard copy character sheet at the table.</li>
<li>No laptops at the gaming table (unless you are the DM)</li>
<li>Please familiarise yourself with the rules and spells specific to your character. If you have spells, it's a good idea to make a spell book which you can refer to for the rules for the spells you can use.</li>
</ol>
<div>
You will be able to find the Pathfinder Rules online <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/">here.</a> They are not in the same format as the book, but it's all there and it's easily navigated. If you are having trouble with creating a character, we will have time to work on them at club.</div>

Pirates day at Coal Creek is on September 18th. Gippsland Gamers will be running Escape from the Ghost Pirates, a fun and easy adventure game for 4-10 year old kids.<br />
<br />
The Escape from the Ghost Pirate adventure sees the adults and kids of Rivenshore captured by pirates and thrown into the hold of their ship. Can the kids escape from the hold and rescue everyone from the pirates, and will they discover the pirates' terrible secret?Puddingwrestlerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05028533494896159225noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1536719120034286299.post-65381404955181582462016-06-11T11:18:00.002+10:002016-06-11T11:18:57.221+10:00Dice Chucker V.4 playtestingBobby Wallen of the rather annoying to type OvErSoUl GaMeS has just sent me the Dice Chucker V.4 playtest rules.

Eagle eye readers may notice that the Learn To Play Warmachine session has been canceled - the new edition of the game is coming out just before the session was scheduled, and there's no garantee that a copy would be available in time. This has been replaced by High Seas Fleet, an exciting naval action floor game using Gippsland Gamer's newly constructed wooden battle fleets!<br />
