Well it was bound to happen, when different points of view mesh some times you offend. It seems I did so. I had no intent to be offensive, just want some point of view from any who have use the sites I was looking at. Be that as it may I can only conclude from the small on-pour of "WTF is wrong with you"s that I was asking something wrong. While I will not be stopping in my attempts at writing C.O.R.P.S. as well as posting it here, I can not but feel hesitant in asking anymore questions.

thank you for your time.

I Play Rage, Precognition, Grace!!

A great game for introducing the basic concepts found in most all RPG's with a clever title and core mechanics by Jeff Moore.It is well suited to making new converts. I just had to mention it, because it was one of the first games that I downloaded from 1km1kt.net.

A short review on this game coming soon!

I Play Treason Season!

A timely political commentary in the form of a 1 page solitaire game by Errin Famiglia, a true game master. If you take cautionary tales like A Brave New World seriously, study history like the McCarthy Era or just ever wanted to rule Illuminati style, then this game is for you.In Treason Season it is decided within a few turns whether you make it in the halls of power vying for leadership of the Great State or face persecution, possibly surviving to play on as treasonous Freedom Fighter. Either way you need all the tools of a politician to survive: Amorality, Religiosity, Warmongering, Disinformation, Bureaucracy and Patriotism.You must use these means of the corrupt on Big Brother missions, in order to either gain Prestige or become Treasonous.A major victory is to prove your villainy and become Leader of the Great State.This game is fun and only really needs the page, a d6 and a pencil to play. You might shorten that list to the sheet and a pencil by coming up with a thicker sheet and adding a spinney wheel or something as some one suggested else where for a game. Since I took a class on politics I couldn't help noticing how a rise to power in the game is a like an election, all it needs is the fund raising and bribes. Play it now, and see what the 2008 elections in America might be like.

the Battle Royale RPG keeps to the spirit of the first movie and has most of the items found as "weapons" in the students' survival packs.There aren't any of the combo assault rifles/grenade launchers from BRII, though. For those who don't know by now Battle Royale is about sending trouble high school students to an island to kill each other off, with a last man standing goal. That it was written by an actual high school student, Evil1 AKA Robbie Cousineau adds to the flavor of the game. Unfortunately there are a lot of spelling mistakes and the rules for character creation, skills and combat.The rules though simple, are not clearly expressed. These sorts of typos and errors found in other games are annoying, but they actually kind of add flavor to this game. Also, with a little work, the presentation could be improved and it doesn't keep the game down. So, no big deal. The weapons list follows pretty closely to the first movie as does the suggested dangers and plot set up. Character creation should allow you to play most of the original students. That by itself makes this game worth playing! Especially if you can get a cut of the video that the students are shown in the first movie to have your players watch before the game. I checked and Evil1 is fortunately wrong about the availability of the movies and manga: Battle Royale and the sequel BR II are both in fact available to rent or buy in the United States as is the manga series! However due to "Community Standards" laws these and other fine movies and products may be banned within your local area of the USA. Watch these movies before playing the game for a wonderful time re enacting your favorite blood baths. This game is also a great outlet for playing out violent revenge fantasies on your class mates. Just make your class the one kidnapped into the BR program.(Because, of course in real life violence is wrong.) Battle Royale RPG also provides opportunities to create back stories, plotlines, relationships and all the drama to be found in the world of Battle Royale.

Not too long ago, I downloaded Evil1's CBP RPG. For a while, I was annotating the PDF (one of the few benefits of actually using the Adobe program rather than using a 3rd party program)to send back. However, since one of our new members started a new trend in reviews, I figured I should share with everyone.

As with any other review from my collection, this is based on a read through as opposed to actual play. I lack players interested in trying a new game every week.

Overall, I think its a good idea, and the game would be fun to try. There are some questions about the various abilities and attributes. The layout is in dire need of redesign. My most pressing concern, however, is with the professionalism of the document.

A magical thing has happened since I started working on I Play Games! the folks who make the games started asking me to play the games. So, in celebration of Fire Works Day I am starting The I Play Games! Request Line. If you have made a game and you want me to post a play record and review to I Play Games!, I will. If you want my opinion on any game just ask.

I Play the THE CREATURE OF MURKY COUNTY RPG! I Play Games!

The game simulates some of the plot from BOGGY CREEK II: AND THE LEGEND CONTINUES a movie that can normally only be survived by watching it as an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000.The legend of the Fouke Monster aka the Big Foot of Arkansas aka the Creature continues and continues in the movies and you just want it all to end.The RPG took the hokey events of the movie and turned them into a "serious" game with out the humor of MST3K or the flaws that made the movie worthy of an MST3K episode.In the game, you want the search for the Creature to continue as you explore Murky County,gaining bonuses.This is because meeting the Creature is deadly, especially if you aren't "prepared" with the various bonuses. Most of the places you search in Murky County will either send you on further along your search,present danger or provide opportunity and sometimes all of these.Many places are different depending on whether it is day or night.This increases both the amount of possible play and the length of time you could play this single page with out getting bored or seeing the same things happen.

This is my series of reviews, I Play Games!

I came across a interesting game the other day and I wanted to discuss it with everyone on RPG Lab, as I feel it is very innovative in its narrative concepts.

The game is called Wushu, which previously was sold but recently has been provided in an Open format. Being an addict for all things martial arts and fighting, I found that the game was much broader in scope. It has a unique little system where the more you describe stuff in actions and combat, the more dice you get to succeed.
At first I couldn't quite wrap my brain around it, but there are links on the site to various play examples. These demonstrated the great fun that could be had with the system.

Now, some of you must be telling yourselves "not another RPG". Well yes indeed. Now lets take a look at what can make S3 different or similar to others. These are also some of the reasons that have pushed me to develop my own engine.
