Stuff

[prog]

Various items of possible interest to those who know me.

• Planning on hitting ol ' W-ville next weekend.


• Weekend after that is moving day. I mean, that Saturday is. (Yeah, I decided to save the $600 and get it all done at once, after an orker of ORA-flavored yore offered to loan his pickup truck to the effort. I really don't have all that much stuff. (Yes, yes, so say I, before I even get started...))


• Does anyone want to play Gnostica sometime? Kory Heath sent me a rule tweak I want to try. It modifies the win-or-die rule that I so dislike, and I'm looking forward to seeing if it improves the game. (As far as I know, I like everything about Gnostica except for the losing rule.)


• I want to resume development of Currents, which is not yet quite done; I love the gameplay, but don't think it has much of an endgame yet. I'm considering having a special playtest-night at my new home, split between maybe Currents and Gnostica research.


• I think I will name my home The Arbitrarium, and have the name follow me around and attach itself to wherever I happen to live at the moment, much as my furniture does. I first thought of this name quite a while ago, maybe before I moved into a community where house-naming is the norm. Happy that I remembered it again.

Gnostica gnood

I'd be interested.

[queue.livejournal.com]

I'm up for Gnostica.

What's the rule tweak?

[prog.livejournal.com]

The tweak is: if you challenge, and the subsequently drop below 9 points by the end of your next turn, everyone else wins and the game ends.

I see that three locals responded to this, which is rather optimal. :) It occurs to me that MLGN is coming up, so maybe it can be played there? (Despite all my pervious moping about the venue... though suggestions for better venues would be quite welcome.)

MLGN

If that's this Wednesday, I've got a family dinner with the rents that conflicts. :-(

Your mom's coming down, too?

Re: MLGN

Wednesday night for dinner, I believe.

(Somehow I don't think of it as "down", though it is in altitude...)

[queue.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a reasonable tweak.

I may or may not be at MLGN. If I'm there, I'll definitely be up for Gnostica. If not, maybe some time next week?

[treacle-well.livejournal.com]

I'd be up for Gnostica. (I also hate the win or die rule)

ps

I like The Arbitrarium. And if there's anything I can do to help with your move that isn't on Shabbat, let me know.
