A short hello

For starters, Hi, and thanks for visiting my blog. I won’t go on to regurgitate every bit of information already in the About Me section.

So you’ve read about me, and know I am going to produce a Risk ruleset for Thousand Parsec. I won’t be simply cutting and pasting the rulebook into my ruleset, I’ll tell you that. For starters, as easy as it might sound, I don’t believe it will create a coherent play experience. Go and pick up TP, its in my links, and see for yourself. Secondly, Risks one-at-a-time play style doesn’t really mesh up with TP. I plan to get around this by “re-engineering” Risk to play what I call “all-at-once.” This transformation, once basic Risk game play is implemented, will most likely occupy the majority of my time. I can tell already there are a few points in the game where there will be the need for conflict resolution, and I hope these conflicts can be resolved in a way that extends the game, instead of simply bandaging it and shoving it into the TP framework.

I look forward to having a reason to blog, and hope I can incorporate blogging into my daily schedule.
