The Rationale for Simple

I know.  I know.  The last word in the title should be “simplicity” but “simple” is just so much more… simple. I’ve been thinking a lot about the objectives of the game I’ve been working on.  Which I am calling The Broken Veil.  At least for now. Anyway, objectives.  What do I want the game [...]

The Tearing of the Veil: Another Option for Gamemasters

About two weeks ago, I wrote a post outlining one possible explanation for the bizarre conditions that exist in the world of the game I am writing.  I am still working on the game, poring through mechanics and solidifying the pre-game story of the world.  I am also still working on a title and am [...]

Behind the Shift

This morning I was having some internal debate with myself about mechanics vs. setting in THE GAME.  Thankfully, it didn’t come to blows.  It remained a civilized discussion.  The internal discussion revolved around which sections I am working on writing and in which order (setting my writing plan).  At the core of it is one [...]

Turd Pudding

In the proud tradition of “Shepherd’s Pie” (or Sheppard’s Pie, as the case may be)… I bring you “Turd Pudding”… As promised, I have a quick teaser with some information on the game I’ve been working on, which I’m giving a new working title (since it’s what I’ve been calling it anyway lately and since [...]

Star Wormwood, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Backstory

Note:  Before you read below and assume I’ve gone completely batshit insane and have joined the ranks of those predicting the end of the world in 2012, I want to warn you that this is all backstory for the game I’m working on.  I’m still crazy, but the following is just one possible explanation I [...]

What’s In A Name? Announcing My Working Title

Just because I haven’t added anything new to Geekcentricity for a few days (I sure fixed that today) doesn’t mean I haven’t been involved in the writing process. I’m working on setting and mechanics for the game I’m writing. I have the second draft of my outline finished and I even have a working title. [...]

Welcome To My World – Building an RPG, pt. 2

Imagine waking up one day and realizing that the world has suddenly, drastically, changed.  It is no longer the world you knew.  The world seems dim, less colorful.  Maybe something is wrong with your eyes.  After all, you’ve been meaning to schedule an appointment with your eye doctor for months now, but just haven’t gotten [...]

Sheppard’s Pie

Have you ever eaten shepherd’s pie?  Unfortunately, I have.  From what I can tell, it’s an unappetizing mish-mash of whatever happens to be leftover from previous meals.  At least it was when I was eating in school cafeterias.  Which wasn’t all that long ago.  This post is the shepherd’s pie of Geekcentricity.  These are odds [...]

Fear Itself

What scares you? There it is.  I asked the question.  I want an answer.  What scares you?  I don’t mean having your cell phone battery die so that you can’t get your text messages.  I don’t mean realizing you forgot where you put your car keys last night. What scares you?  I mean “makes you [...]
