Does anyone have one prepped to go? If not, I may develop one, but it will take a few weeks to get ready. ---

I tentatively “claim” the next game, which I am developing and think can get ready fairly soon. However, if you have a ready-to-go game and want to run it, I’ll happily get behind you in line and join your game. 🙂 Otherwise, I’ll start one soon enough. ---

Now, I am 90% ready, so I untentatively and assuredly claim the next game. 🙂 I’ll have it up soon enough. 🙂 ---

Yeah, I read over the last couple of pages of it. Knowing how it happened doesn’t make it any less surprising. ---

I have a game in the planning again, but I gladly step aside for anyone who has one ready to go or thinks they can get one going after Hotel of Heroes, which is down to 5 players left. Seriously, I gladly step aside for anyone and want to sign-up to play if anyone else is nearly ready. 🙂 Otherwise, I’ll get one going soon enough. ---

I was inspired a couple weeks ago and worked out a skeleton for a game, but it’s light years from being playable. Sort of like Scuba\_Ben a ways upthread (and a couple years ago), I may impose upon one or two of you to take a look and tell me if I’ve got anything worth putting more work into…but even that is a little ways off. I think I need to look on as a spoiled observer for a game or three to get a better feel for exactly how and why things are put together as they are, so that I get a better feel for how to do it myself. Along those lines, if anyone needs an eager but slightly inexperienced hand to assist with setup (or just to observe a game from soup to nuts), I’m available… ---

I got a open game that’s in the tweaking stage. I’ll chime in if I think it’s ready when Hotel of Heroes is done. ---

Ok I think my game is ready. It’s colorless, but it’s 100% open and a bit strange, so if there is no one in line in front of me, i’ll go next. But will defer is someone already has dibs. ---
