Is there a master list of games played that newbies who are brainstorming rulesets can check their ideas against?

[Chief Rum]

I'll put my name on the list, please (assuming someone is keeping a list).

EF's sticky WW History has the first 100 or so games, but I don't think there's a master list beyond that (though all you have to do is scan a few pages of this subforum to get an idea for the others).

[Autumn]

Yeah, if you're worried about doing a remake, a search is your best bet. If you're just wondering about ideas, or mechanics, best bet is to PM some of the guys who run games a lot and ask.

[Autumn]

1. Coffee Warlord (Clue: Master Detective)
2. Chief Rum

[saldana]

if anyone has any requests or suggestions for games they might like to see but dont know how to GM it, let me know and i will try to put a ruleset together and would be happy to run it.

[Coffee Warlord]

Go ahead and throw CR ahead of me, if he's still willing. Next few weeks are gonna be busy for me.

Sure, that's a good spot for me. I can run the next one.

[JAG]

Just got inspiration for what could be an interesting game and theme, so please add me after Coffee (Matrix game still needs work before prime time).

[Danny]

SO we have

1. Chief Rum
2. Coffee Warlord (Clue: Master Detective)
3. Jag

[EagleFan]

I'll throw my name in the hat.

[Autumn]

1. Chief Rum
2. Coffee Warlord (Clue: Master Detective)
3. Jag
4. EagleFan

The list groweth!

[Autumn]

I'll add myself on. I'm thinking of finishing up the sequel to Vegas, Baby.

1. Coffee Warlord
2. JAG
3. EagleFan
4. Autumn

[Chief Rum]

You can put me back on. If I'm going to do my Game of Thrones game close to the show run, I'll need to get back on the list quick.

[Autumn]

1. Coffee Warlord
2. JAG
3. EagleFan
4. Autumn
5. Chief Rum

You're welcome to jump my slot if it works out, Chief, particularly while we have the numbers for big games.

According to my sig he already is letting him...

[Chief Rum]

Let's play it by ear, see how things are looking when your turn comes up. I'll just be sure to be ready to go when you come up, just in case.

[hoopsguy]

JAG up next?

[Autumn]

Yeah, I think he's finishing one up.

[JAG]

I'll post the basic theme and such tonight / tomorrow, still fleshing a few things out the next couple days but should finish it ok.

[Autumn]

Chief if you want to go first and take advantage of Game of Thrones excitement, feel free.

[Autumn]

I have my next game ready but next week is a bad time for me to run it. If someone wants to run a game before me, please do!

[Chief Rum]

Yes, due to a busy work schedule, I am not quite ready to put my game up. Autumn is also maybe too busy at points next week, though, so if someone wants to run a small game, now is the time. After that, Autumn and I can figure out which of us will go.

Or we can also take a week off and just recharge.

[Autumn]

As always, I advocate someone just put up a simple game, especially for some of the newer folk. It's good sometimes to not have to worry about mechanics and just play with the basics.

[Autumn]

I suppose I could actually do that if I did very barebone writeups. but if someone else wants a shot, go for it.

[Zinto]

This looks like a job for Zinto!

[Chief Rum]

I am prepared to run the next game, but I need a day off to clear up some details, to just sit down and re-check the ruleset.

That day off, because of my hectic schedule, won't come until Sunday. Shortly after that, though, I will put up the game and hope for a midweek signing (Tuesday or Wednesday, May 14-15). If signings are slow, I would push it back to the start of the following week (Monday, May 20).

The theme will be the Game of Thrones.

[Narcizo]

Could you not run sign-ups before you finish up everything? It'll get you an idea of the number of players as well.

[Chief Rum]

I really shouldn't until some decisions are fleshed out in my detail work, but if I can come up with a quick post up with the basic game theme, I may do that today.

[fontisian]

Blue and I are working out a Doctor Who themed game. Does anyone want to help us balance it?

[Chief Rum]

I can help if you like. I'm unlikely to play in the next game because of some busy times at work right now, so I can give your ruleset a once over if you like and it won't spoil anything.

[fontisian]

JAG's already looking over it. Thanks for the offer though Chief.

[Autumn]

School for me and the kids starts on Monday. I'd love to play in a WW game in my spare moments since I'll be chained to the desk.

[Danny]

A new fof will help a lot. I'd like to play here again. I stopped playing on bgg after two games cause I can't keep up with the games while working

[Autumn]

And if Danny can't keep up, that tells you something.

[britrock88]

It is kind of nutty over there. A lot of emotion, a lot of posting. EF and I replaced into a game yesterday, and a lot of our posting was basically to the effect of "CALM DOWN."

Holy crap, I felt like I just ran over someone's dog the way she greeted me. Wow. But it has calmed down now. I like the added posting but they do take way too much from day one posts. Can be fun though.

[EagleFan]

dola: this game isn't even as crazy as the last one I was in. In that one I would go to work for the day and when I got home there would be about 20 pages of posts to read through. That was insane.

[britrock88]

Right. Usually need to be able to check every couple hours to be able to keep up. The game that violin ragged me about being AFK in was one that had a 4pm deadline on a day where I was totally sidetracked at work.

[britrock88]

We could flood some night deadline games, though, and get more of an old FOFC-style WW feel over there.

[Vaevictis_386]

I'd like to get into a game here. Please add me in for whatever is next.

[The Jackal]

Who's next?

[The Jackal]

I'd be happy to run something at some point but my night schedules are often very busy so people would have to be cool with uncertain deadline process times.

[britrock88]

Seems like that'd be fine with a single-deadline game and a house rule to stop posting substantively after the stated deadline.

[Autumn]

Yeah, i don't think we can be picky at this point.

[The Jackal]

I don't have anything in mind but I could think on it over the weekend and post something next week with the idea of starting on the 7th. Unless anyone else wants to go

[The Jackal]

Has anyone done a Dark Tower (Stephen King) themed game? I looked briefly through the WW History and didn't see anything. I'm leaning towards that.
