[Chronicles of Skin] Help in November
« il: 2010-09-20 11:02:49 »
Help. You guys have been the biggest supporters of my other game and I don't think there's any other community so alive as yours, so I've decided to come here to pitch my idea.

I just wrote Chronicles of Skin for Game Chef 2010. Chronicles of Skin is a 60 minute game of ancient atrocity and propaganda.

"Pictures on leather record the history of an ancient civil war. Tell the stories of the people of that war and write your history through the eyes of the victors."

The more times it gets played during October, the more chance it has to win the competition. So, that's what I'm wondering. Does anyone want to play the game online with me? Or play without me (in Italy) and write an AP report (in Italian/English)? It only takes an hour and you get to draw pictures! (And, maybe just for Tazio, you can draw booooobs!)

I'd be glad to play with you, but at now I'll be able only through MSN or GTalk. Edit: I wanted to imply that playing via text could be quite uncomfortable, so maybe it'd be better to avoid it; I don't know, do you think it'd be feasible?
Anyway, I'll try to play it this week; now I'll read the rules and try to get enough players. But don't count on me for the pictures, I'm not so good at drawing...
And...

Whoa, I was waiting the playoffs to write something like that too, but now I see you are playing dirty, so now I'll probably do another thread for my Brachininae, just to be sure :P

Cause I'm in the game too ;)

I have the impression that the italian croud will define the winner. We are.. so much... and so nerd...

Wao! Your game seems really cool!

I hope to have the chance to play your game with my friends one of these days.

If you think I'll stop supporting you, you'll be sorely mistaken.

Really cool idea!

I can't wait to test it with my friends!

60 minutes, you say? I'll probably organize a run of three of the game, vis-a-vis my local friends or at a convention somewhere. I'll leave it to the other players to write AP reports, though, because I'm just that lazy.

Hey! We gotta do that together! I demand it!
How about a minicon like the one we did with shock:?

Yay! You guys are fucking sweet.

Mauro I agree with "playing via text could be quite uncomfortable." I'm old school when it comes to story gaming. I must be able to hear the other people or I get frustrated. However, in a pinch, I'd give it a shot. We'd need some kind of whiteboard software so everyone could scribble on the Skin.

60 minutes, you say?
Bearing in mind that that I've only tested this fella in the privacy of my own apartment, I'm not happy guaranteeing a 60 minute turnover. But the game generates one scene per player and each of those scenes will probably last around 10 minutes. Add in the doodling and culture generation, and I'm guessing it will hit the 60 minute mark. But that could easily stretch out to 90 minutes, or shrink into 30. Know what I mean?

Sorry Rafu, did you say you intend to run it three times?! Holy moly. That's very sound of you. Are either of you artists? Tazio, are you so keen to do a minicon because you know you'll be the one to boob-ify the Skin. Wait a sec... chronicles of skin. That name's sounding more and more porny the longer I hang around this forum. I better get out of here for a bit...

I completely understand you: sometimes I played via text: it'd be quite good, but is not the same thing.
Anyway, if you agree let's try; I'll sarch some whiteboard.

I am innocent. It's you suggesting such things when you talk about victorian age latex sado-maso lesbian elves. Hereby I am but a victim. I swear.
