And wow, someone's running A Flower for Mara? That's awesome! That someone is me! I'm either really awesome or really foolhardy.
-
Honestly? When I first saw this thread I thought it was a Monsterhearts-themed playset for Fiasco, not a Fiasco-themed generator for Monsterhearts. Looking over the document, I see no reason it couldn't work either way.
-
Update: here's the Indie Hurricane schedule as it stands now. There are also some IH events on other tracks, such as A Flower for Mara in LARP, Go Play Music in Panels (strill unscheduled, Saturday Noon requested), and of course Sea Dracula in Spec…
-
Hans: They don't appear under IH events when they're just proposals, awaiting approval to become real live events. THey should show up now.
-
Guh. Sorry to hear that. I think you can still submit game proposals regadless of paying your membership? they're two separate systems. #confusingiknow
-
I will commit to facilitating Geiger Counter Saturday night, but I still haven't succeeded in registering so I can't slot games. Do you need help making a website account?
-
Wait, is THAT why there are no game proposals going up on Saturday night? That's gonna make for a weird evening.
-
PS and by the way, it looks like y'all are playing "Saturday Night Facilitator Chicken" (and annual Gamestorm event!) wherein nobody's putting games up in the Sat Eve slot, presumably because they're waiting to see what OTHER awesome games go up the…
-
It's a service I provide. EDIT: I figure one person learning to navigate that site is already one too many. (PS Gamestorm webmasters who are probably googling this: said in love, I believe you have the power to change, help me help you, etc)
-
He means Monday. DUH
-
For the record, the spots where our schedule is thin are Thursday evening, Saturday evening, and Sunday afternoon. As per spec.
-
Player signups going live in two minutes! #nopressure
-
So hey, the time is fast approaching, Winter is coming, place your bets, know when to hold 'em, there are no status quos in Hurricane World, etc etc. Player signups are going live MONDAY, two days from now, so if you've got a sweet game proposal yo…
-
We need to schedule it as a panel, however, so it can be placed in the room they use for panels.

By the way, if you have a game that you feel fits better in different category from Indie Hurricane, or you'd just like to run it in, say, regular RPGs, that's A-OK. I think it's great to branch out and mingle across gaming cultures, and allow folks…
-
Hey y'all! So, here's the deal: If you want to run games at Indie Hurricane, go to the main page and create an account (little "register" button under Login in the upper left corner). Then from the main page go to the scheduling page and log in (i…
-
I dig it! I especially like "Dare the GM to hurt them," "Take foolish risks, make bad decisions, and enjoy the fallout," and "Get attached to things. Try to care for them. Cry when they break," because they point toward setting a perfect tone while …

It's more zoomed out than you think, maaaaaan
-
I finally noticed this thread! I played the Quiet Yeart early on in playtesting and even though it was a slightly awkward play, I fell in love with the game. It has the breath of wonder about it, while staying really close to home and treating egal…
-
OK, I'm out. The Neurotypicality of Lajos Egri is DEFINITELY not something I will Knife Fight a Man over.* *It is, however, a great name for an indie rock EP. Someone get on that.
-
WATCHMEN THREAD, RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE THAT SOMEONE MIGHT GO FORTH AND PLAY POLARIS: WATCHMEN.
-
Hey, is it still possible to order this game? Cuz DAAAAAMN did I miss that boat.
-
I have absolutely no stake in "literal brain damage," but I will Totally Knife Fight a Man* over "Story-telling is innate to humans." *will not actually knife fight a man** **because that forum*** is closed, duh ***in-jokes, yay!
-
PRACTICE: SORCERER! THE ZEITGESIT HUNGERS FOR YOU! ARISE!
-
Hey, this is a neat thing! Out of the grave it goes!
-
OH NO! THIS THREAD DRANK THE POISON MEANT FOR PETER! EVERYONE CLAP YOUR HANDS! This is a really rad idea I just found! I wanna try it. Mayhbe other folks wanna try it too?
-
A suggestion! (after talking to Joel) Take this link: http://www.story-games.com/forums/discussions/p100 Replace "p100" at the end with anything from "p100" to "p167". Go to that page, look for a thread to resurrect! The higher the number, the old…
-
O...kay? Is there some objective scale of opinion-words that places "disdain" above "not my thing, but I got nothing against it" and below "dysfunctional, harmful mess and no one should play it"...? I was not aware. Please provide me with this list …
-
And he had a real axe to grind about Vampire for some reason. Which is odd because in looking at it from my current perspective, the White Wolf games are actually pretty damn well thought out in most cases. Even by 'story game' standards. Well, Ron …
-
A: I'm really, really excited about this. B: Since the in-your-fae blurb has been excised from the document apparently, I'm wondering what in fa it said? Do you mind quoting it in this thread, or whispering me or something?
-
Apocalypse World is a great pick for this; the only possible bug is also a feature: there is no plot for you to railroad them through, only a series of progressively worse crises that will continue to erupt, all the more so if they hesitate or ignor…
-
Well, this idea comes on the heels of one particular player whiffing his Growth rolls two episodes in a row.
-
(Are you sure you don't now want something new from your opponent if you're doing it for someone else and for some other reason?) Well, your Telegraphed intent can and does change with each new exchange, so yeah.
-
Are you sure you weren't playing Monsterhearts?
-
Wait, you roll the same dice pool for the whole conflict? We've been assembling a new pool each go-around, with different Values and Relationships as appropriate.
-
I thought about doing that, actually, but I don't want to render Growth dice meaningless. I like the way Growth point toward doing the Awesome Drama Stuff (and getting yourself in Awesome Drama Trouble) within the episode. Though this group might do…
-
So, while we wait for that to shake out (I mean, I'll make whatever call seems best given whatever info I have tomorrow night, I'm just curious what the rule was supposed to mean), I have another issue to explore: Advancement. So, the Smallville bo…
-
So Cam, what is the designer intent [here we pause to allow Mr. Corley to cease hyperventilating] of the "Give a D6 to your Opposition" trigger? That the opposition gains a D6 for the next roll? For contest duration? Scene duration? Does it make sen…

Monsterhearts: me playing the Werewolf, Sam playing the Witch, Nathanael playing the Queen, Annie playing the Mortal. Noah MCing. Mortal Celest rushed on Queen Vladimir, exchange student and mysterious organizer of a local Larp ("Will be best weeke…
-
It seems weird to me that the D6 would just stick around, for free, across multiple rolls. No other die-granting source works that way; it's either a free die or you pay a PP for a one-time usage. That seems like a big advantage to hand your opponen…
-
Thanks, Cam. What's your read on this one: So, does that mean you can't use this Trigger DURING a Contest? If Commodore Krieghoff tells Franz "Trust me," while just conversing, tyhe D6 doesn't do anything? We played it that Franz would use the d6 fo…
-
Thanks! 2. Does it cost a Plot Point to roll one of your own stress dice?Yes. (Final para, p. 7) 3. When an Asset Trigger instructs you to Give a die to your opponent, when does the opponent use the die, and how long does it last? For a contest?That…

I'm pondering my Meta Frame Pilot Heritage a bit more. I gave it the Limit: Alien Technology, which I was thinking could cause shutdown if other alien tech interfaces with it catastrophically, or if the alien tech does freaky things to the Pilot's b…

The Watchtower report introduces "Integrated Gear," where several Gear Abilities are combined in one physical machine. One Ability is central, and instead of the usual Gear limit (broken, stolen, lost), has the Limit: Chassis (takes damage for other…
-
Ok, I've checked out the Watchtower report--WHY IN HELL DID NOBODY TELL ME SMALLVILLE ALREADY HAS RULES FOR MECHA??? (except Mike. Mike told me. Thank you, Mike.)

[Portland Zines 2] Well, it's currently in alpha testing and review. It's fun so far, but I'm not going to make it wildly available until I've had a chance to mull over initial player feedback, tweak the design, and probably add a few playbooks to …

[Television 3] JUSTICE ALIEN will be the perfect show to follow WAR LAW in our new Thursday night lineup! And don't miss TRUCKER BABY now airing Sundays!

I blogged about my second year tabling Story Games at the Portland Zine Symposium.
