Two Terrible Things Happen at Once

Someone posts on the BGG Print and Play forums about NaGa DeMon - National Game Design Month and on the same day someone else posts in the Risus Yahoo Group about a new One Page Design Challenge - a Risus Steampunk Setting.

*Must Not Chase Shiny Things*

So, the NaGa DeMon project will be Trading in the Mediterranean with Ninjas vs Zombie Pirates - The Solo Deck Building Dice Game (tm).

A game designed by me, specifically to cause Tom Vasel and Donald Dennis to simultaneously explode. ;p

This is past the initial design phase and into the play testing - the only current problem is the need to construct over 100 custom paper dice before I can start. Progress is slow. Each set of 6 dice takes about 2 days.

It also occurs to me that now people in the UK can Kickstart stuff, the joke would be complete if I did a Kickstarter campaign for it... Unfortunately, there's too high a risk that people without a well developed sense of irony would back it. Although I could always put the funding target as £1M...

As for the Risus Setting, it would be a good excuse to do something like a Girl Genius homage. "Femme Fantastique" maybe?

Progress reports as separate posts to follow. Maybe.
