Sycarion:
Playtested a game called Tactique or Tactical March. It is similar to Stratego(R), but based more on Chinese Chess. Thanks to tool for the Duct Tape pieces. The game is modular with six different sets of ‘add-on’ rules to make the game more challenging (and longer). For example, you could play with rankless pieces and use dice to resolve the winner. You could have different attack/defense numbers. You could have a different sized board (or a hexagon board). You could have all three. More details forthcoming.

Also provided a draft of Greed, akin to Monopoly(R). Not tested, may be discarded.

Also also provided a Geography of Lenga. Some browsers may not display the name of the third country correctly. It is Il-Zehar (spelled eye-ell dash zee-e-aich-ay-ar). The Ogdan have been renamed the Gruyet (groo-YAY), but the change has not been made to the website.

Work continues on Lenga, but it is slow due to other considerations I cannot post about. It is also why I have posted little here.

Prairiecomber:
Power to the People serial stalled as the details of the exploit mentioned became problematic to explain or even make reference to. The story wasn’t going to focus on the technical aspects of the crime, but on the central relationship. However, the premise of the hack only works if I don’t explain it – I am not a network guy.

I figure the serials would do that from time to time, I just want to writing exercise.

Another story set in Lenga called Barat is in draft form – it is a story of how a young spellcaster discovers himself.

Also, the theme presented problems in some browsers, so it has been changed.

A couple of My Life posts, more on the Unity Proposal, communion, and good teaching from the new minister. Not a bad month, even if I say so myself.

The forum idea didn’t take off, so I’ll probably take them off. Besides, I miss my old permalink structure.
