Looking for players for a new game setup with an All Raiders cast in an advanced hex msp. The game will be flooded with art as museums are also a big part of the game with specialty art bonus points. Also everyone has 4 world hop abilities. Unknown end score (randomly generated). Game will be comple...

Does anyone have any suggestions on types of games they would like to see happen? Those of us in MOHAMMED have thought that the use of the one-character role (Emperors) with the ability to 4-hop in a Q-BERT map style has been a lot of fun. Was thinking that another all-the-same-character game would ...

Dave: Thanks for the excellent detail that you provided. Really explained things for me in a way I am not sure I knew previously. Certainly the "tags" discussion was extremely beneficial. As always, totally appreciate all that you do for us here at RSW and in providing this platform for ou...

Is there a way to "sample" the map constructs and "see" what they actually look like BEFORE setting up a game? I know a lot of times when you are setting the game up, and you come to the map parameters, it doesn't really allow you to see what you are selecting. Further, what are ...

Launched a new game tonight that's a bit unusual: 1) The system will assign everyone their character type blindly. No Multi--it's a one-position game. 2) It's a non-communication anon game that automatically ends on Turn 19--high score wins. 3) There are only 6 available positions. 4) ALL of the par...

Thought we would leave the multi's behind for a minute and play a straight out one-character "classic core" game with a rose map. Most of the parameters are ultra high with an ultra high end-game score so that all character types can have time to expand and develop. I chose to NOT have eit...

Do you play bridge by any chance?

It feels more and more like we are drifting towards oblivion. Games are being set up and failing due to not enough sign-ups. What do we need to do to find new and younger players to keep things going? Maybe we should all use our social media to get word of the game out there for people to see? Just ...

Just launched two new games that need signups and players! One of them we are calling the Absurdly High Game where virtually EVERY parameter has been toggled as "absurdly high" (with the exception of black holes). Thought it would be interesting to see a game like this where there is the p...

The 51% Parameter sounds like a sci-fi movie but it seems to be giving all of us some concerns, particularly with the very odd way that RADIUS ended. I think that the game result there should be revisited as JimE won that game with a vengeance and the record should really be stated as such. Also, wh...

That was a super cool post, Constella. Absolutely LOVED the overview of the game when you guys went to Elliot's to play. One of the most wonderful aspects of the old FLYING BUFFALO QUARTERLY was that certain players would submit articles about various games and they were always riveting to read. The...

That is one bizarre usage of the Pandora. Never heard that one before. I have it currently in another game and it is producing the spy reports that someone else mentioned above. I think whatever the Pandora does should be explained as part of a "reveal" in the Final Game Report.

Hello all! Just wanted to let everyone know that Rick Loomis passed away on Saturday from his bout with cancer. A gaming legend pretty much sums up the legacy of Rick. The sheer amount of games that he created over the years and his creation of Flying Buffalo are without precedent. Of course, we hav...

I think that once you get into the box is when the bad juju starts happening. At least that's how it goes down in Greek mythology (as I recall). LOL

I have had the good fortune to have the PB in a number of recent games and sometimes I can figure out what it is up to and in others I have virtually no idea. I was thinking a cool thing at the end of each game would be for the PB to have an explanatory box so that all could see what is was up to in...
