Game Creation – the hard way (twice).

Greetings from Tulsa~

and….. here it is. The start of my blog.

It took a while. I have been holding off until I was sure this whole “inter-net” thing wasn’t just some fly by night fad that would die as soon as I got started on it. But I think I’m safe for at least a little while.

So what is this blog about? GAMING. Specifically – MY games.

As in “games I am making” games. These will be divided into two groups.

One) Dungeons and Dragons. OK. Obviously, I didn’t make D&D. But I have started building a new world. Quite a task for someone who hadn’t picked up a D&D book or die since first edition. But I am back, learning fast, and hope to create something… well…. worthy of being read. Much more on this in future posts.

Two) Board Games. I made a board game. Actually – I have made TWO board games. Actually – I have made two board game variations. I created a new version of Monopoly based on the television show Mystery Science Theater. The game, naturally is called “MST-opoly.” Completely re-designed board, redesigned cards, redesigned tokens, redesigned properties. It is available for download on my website http://www.acyn.net/MSTopoly.html

I have also made a new version of the Avalon Hill game “Vegas Showdown” – my game is called “Conestoga Showdown” based on the local science fiction convention “Conestoga.” In this game, you attempt to buy “”events” for your own Scifi convention, instead of rooms for your casino. It is actually good enough that I am contemplating finding a way to market it. more on this later as I mull the possibilities.

So – right now I am in the beginning stages of thinking up a third – hopefully all original – board game. This blog will let me bounce ideas around and hopefully will chronicle the beginnings of an actually successful product.

So that’s it for now: a short (for me) welcome to my tiny hidey-hole on the web. I hope you come back and see how I am doing from time to time. I will be here posting a couple times a week. Let me know what you think, or share some stories of your own!

Peace!
