Amelie, who is being pampered after her op, slept in the bed with us last night. She loves being under the duvet, occasionally poking me with her claws. So I got to combine fear of rolling onto a cat (and I sleep wearing not much to nothing depending on the weather) with nutty dreams about acupuncture.

Which is especially not good if you have an intense phobia of needles.

But she's too God Damm cute to kick out, especially in her still healing state. Plus Dog is still treating her like some kind of alien invader. I think it's because of the plastic cone she's having to wear.

Anyhow, I should be through in Edinburgh for the post Conpulsion meeting tonight to offer more help for next years con. You know I might actually run a game of something. Of course I might have gotten round to getting my game finished by next year....

Just to say

I'm afraid 'Destroy All Cities' was a joke. That I came up with at the last moment or I'd have made a web page for it too.

I am of course working on an actual game and I have got enthused about the whole thing again, more on that soon.

Great news

Well I can now announce that my first published RPG is back from the printers. I know I've been a bit quiet for the last few weeks but I've been working very hard to get this done. Anyway I can now reveal the secret project I've been working away on, 'Destroy All Cities' the game of Giant Monsters. This troupe based storytelling extravaganza finds you playing the fractured personality of a giant creature (robot, dinosaur, creature from before time it's up to you) as you struggle to find meaning in a world that seeks to destroy you.

I'm extremely happy with the new mechanic that seamlessly blends dice rolling, coin flips and card play into a unified whole. The 5 page 'Random Wandering' table you roll on when the players can not agree what to do to simulate your creatures reactions when not being controlled is a great read including 'Hump car', 'Eat Civilian', 'Attack building'. And I do think you'll find the 'Human Reaction Flowcharts' an extremely easy way to work out how the forces of mankind will try and deal with your rampage.

'Destroy All Cities' in shops soon!
