I figured its about time to survey the forums and see who is participating in what contest, or which games are being prototyped. Everyone all right? The Free RPG Blog hasn't had any new reviews in six months.
As for myself, it is the usual over abundance, plus or minus a few new ideas.
Every time I sit down at my computer, there is work to be done on Dead and Back. I think its mostly collecting the stories in a reasonable collection, combined with some editing and some more discussion of the optional rules (default game modes/difficulty). Of course, every time I sit down at my computer, I end up playing video games instead.
There was a brief flurry of activity on the Sputnik 2 project with the April 12th anniversary (30 years since the first shuttle fight!)
Our recent discussion of espionage game has me making some notes on a project called "Everyday Spies", and in turn, a variation of my spies as a rock band: "Intrigue on the B Side".
I've also made notes for an aviation/cyberpunk game. Think "the last free bush pilots"in a world with no highways, and tightly controlled rail connections.
Not necessarily an RPG, but with some of my friends, I'm designing a tabletop 4X game. We noticed that there are a lot of these that focus on space (Master of Orion, Eclipse, etc.) or long periods of history (Age of Empires, Civilization) but none that follow the recovery after a major disaster. So we're making a post apocalyptic of exploring and and recovering resources from a city.
