Actually, its perfectly fine with me if you want to play "Dead and Back" or Sputnik Lost. You could play Eastern Front, Overthrow, Click-MMORPG, or Rings of Jerusalem as well, though the first two in that list are not amongst my better efforts.
Dead and Back stands on its own, though there is a lot of potential story to be found on this site in a number of documents. (Cold Hard Truth, Undead Fairy Tails, located Here and Reanimate Stats) Its not a rules light/one page/solo rpg in the least, so I don't know what your time and player commitment is.
Gangland is in some need of an update, I've just never gotten around to finishing the third document that lays out some of the rules fixes suggested on the 1km1kt.net forums, and a few "micro-settings" that give 2 pages of background info apiece.
As to the wargames, I'm not big on laying out money for models. When I do play these types of games, I tend to go for using bottle caps, chess pieces, or note card chits. As I recall, both of those games should fit on the average dining room table. (as a resident of a US suburb, could my standards for a kitchen be larger than most?)
One of the major I'm into RPGs is that you spend 25 dollars on a book, another 5 for a complete dice set, and you have everything you need. Not many other forms of entertainment can give you so much play time for so little initial cost.
Given that its been 4 or 5 years since I updated that site, the broken links don't surprise me at all. I've been mining to find another hosting service and replace it entirely, but I've never really found the motivation to do so.
Actually, that tends to be my problem with everything. In theory I've got 5 or 6 more projects in various states of completion and plenty of free time, but never really get around to them. Two more one page games (one where you play people in a Jurassic Park like setting, and one where you play the dinosaurs...), two war games based on the rules from Days of Plunder (for WWII torpedo boats and submarines respectively), a third war game with anime giant robots, more material for D&B and Gangland, a new medieval game, a game about ninjas based on the percentile system from GL...
Yes, I am somewhat OCD.
Acknowledgment and feedback are always appreciated. Its pretty rare for me to get a chance to test my games myself. (my player's are not known for being orderly or trying new rules) However, I've gotten more comments on some than others - which is why I suggested testing Dop/LG first.
Good day and good luck with whatever you end up playing.
There is a fine line between hobby and obsession. I seem to have lost sight of it some time ago.
Play what you want to play, go where you want to go
