Sigh. Another round of testing for the Hubris- Great Stanky Creek OutdoorFest Game has come and gone. Since the previous round, we added a game board, and changed some of the statistics on things. We know more about how long a game can last, and how many rules it’ll take to make it work. Yow.
It’s fun, though. There’s some silly interactions between players that’s built into it now. And there’s some more fine-tuning to do before it goes to some hotshot gamers for an acid test. Cross your fingers for us, and if you have any suggestions, or silly things that you like about games you enjoy, post a comment for heaven’s sake.
One of the deck cards requires the player to take their pants off and run around the outside of the house yelling, “I meant to do this!”
As much as TSOJ’s comment makes me smile, don’t do Paranoia (TM). I knew some of the playtester designers from that one… and they would test modules out at gaming conventions. Paranoia you COULD force your players to do jumping jacks… just sayin’
Won’t ever be close enough to be one of your acid testers, unfortunately. I would love to volunteer…
I knew one of the Paranoia scenario writers – John M. Ford. He left the really evil stuff out of the games just so that he could keep it for his own books.
or third option do both less and just do some other out door sport like maybe kayaking or white water rafting.
