re:Upcoming Games

Mine will either be Everest or Plunder (yes, another pirate game), or possibly Anasazi, so it's hard to say. I've got a couple of weeks to decide.

Thought I'd throw you all a change-up ... my game (under the working title of "Circle of Influence") will first be delivered as a computer game, with a later tabletop port. It is essentially a heavily-themed land-control board game that will rely on the computer for heavier calculations, a more complex map, and faster handling of the physical game-play (dice-rolling, piece movement, etc.).

The setting is in the distant future -- a handful of generations after the invention of the jump-gate, which led quickly to space exploration. The player is coordinator for a "planetary administration" company, whose job is to woo a newly-settled planet into using their service. Competing companies are allowed a short time to promote themselves to the planet's settlers, who will eventually vote for which company wins the service contract for the planet.

It was converted from a wargame concept I had previously been fleshing out, before I had an epiphany about making a non-combat oriented capture-the-map game.

Hope that's enough ... and not too much ... of a tease.

Folks,

I want to keep the schedule 'clean' so that we can refer back to it with out all of the clutter.

Jwarren,
You can either unlock the schedule topic and edit it as needed or delete the old one and create a new one as you see fit.

Thanks for understanding,
