2010: The Year We Make…uh…Games

Steve Johnson16 years ago3 years ago01 mins

Here we are nearly halfway through the first month of 2010 and there hasn’t been a new installment of “Hexagrams” since sometime back in September, so you’re probably a little curious about what Hex has planned for the coming year. We’ve meant to update this column for a while, but we’ve been kind of busy…

The Road to QAGS 3E

Steve Johnson1 year ago06 mins

I posted a while back that I’ve started work on QAGS 3rd Edition. Since I’ve spent the last 10+ years writing, rewriting, and then completely reworking versions of a completely different game system (Cinemechanix), some of you might wonder why I’ve changed course again to work on a new version of QAGS. The short answer…

The Road to QAGS3E, Part 8

Steve Johnson1 year ago1 year ago010 mins

We ended 2001 feeling pretty good about ourselves. We’d just released our first full-sized book, we had nationwide distribution, our con games were overflowing with players, and we beat Steve Jackson at TOON!. For 2002, we had even bigger plans, focused on two things: first, we’d go to the GAMA show in March. Then we’d…

Cinemechanix Design Journal: Finally Some Class

Steve Johnson9 years ago3 years ago01 mins

In case you’re wondering why the blog is late this week, I’ve re-joined the ranks of wage slavery, so new posts will probably be Monday instead of Friday from now on. In Cinemechanix, every character has a set of character concept traits that allows him to roll a d20 instead of a d12 as his…

Has Elvis Left the Building? (Elvismancer Preview)

Steve Johnson5 years ago3 years ago01 mins

I just posted an update to the Elvismancer Kickstarter. The plan was to include a writing sample, but the completely reasonable few paragraphs I originally meant to write combined with a throwaway line from an old Death Cookie article and became an 1800-word in-world article. Since that was way too long for a Kickstarter update,…

Random Holiday Adventure Seeds Table

Steve Johnson10 years ago3 years ago05 mins

It’s a holiday weekend and I’ve still got 7000 or so words to write by Monday, so here’s a dumb table for your super-hero game. The characters are forced to attend an awkward holiday gathering with a PC’s family. The PCs have to plan the super-hero team’s annual Christmas party (knowing that it will be…
