Fiasco owns and is possibly the best game. Another game in a similar vein I want everyone to play to justify my purchase is One Last Job, which is all about getting the team back together for the Big Score despite the fact you all hate each other.

Well, you're the worst for making me buy another game.

Has anyone played Ribbon Drive? It looks fascinating but I'm hesitant to drop any money on it, because it is hard enough to get people together for several hours to play a single game, much less ask them to bring a mix-CD with them.

Wait, something is wrong.
Confirmed.

The best game is Don't Rock the Boat. Seriously, look at these penguins.

Recently somebody offered me a chance to pitch a board game idea to a local company but even though I've thought it would be nice to make games, I am not a board game designer. So lately I've been desperately looking up game design stuff.

I am so crazy jealous. I had an opportunity to design an educational game for a startup once but they were all crazy and had bad ideas and I never got paid!

I have several folders full of completed game designs that I haven't prototyped if you wanna talk sometime!

Yeah I'm assuming that this isn't going to go 'correctly' like they'll be weird or I'll just not actually get the chance in the first place for whatever reason. It's a good kick in the pants to doing something I might like to do though.

Also I do actually know some stuff about board games guys.

I've planned on this mechanic where you draw on a random card and then to see if it works you spin a wheel that tells you how many dice you roll. Then you flip a coin to decide if the result is good or bad. Also all of the miniatures are just boobs.

The sun rises, as do many of the denizens of the Apocalypse. Some of you slept, some of you were creeping around during the night. It's a fuckin' ugly mess of a day as tensions start to rise. Everyone knows that everything that's been built up from the concrete, grime, oil, and maybe a little bit of water and hope - everything in this shithole of a World - everything depends on the next few days. You all look at each other, all knowing that in a few short hours, people would, unless hell froze over, start dying. That's the way it goes in Apocalypse World. Get busy living, or get busy dying.

It is now Day 1.
