A friend of mine once mention just working on a pen & paper game. I've often wondered if doing so could lead to makeing a game later. Take "Vampire: The Masqurad" for example. It was a book before it became a vidio game. I remmember seeing a lot of people wanting to do an RPG here, but we never realy covered dropping the code aspect for a time, and working on hard rules.

Good idea, Angel!

Attending the Christian Game Developer's Conference this past summer was an experience, and it was sort of eye-opening for me -- normally when I think of Christian games, I think of either board games or computer games, but there were people there making a variety of games (though I didn't see any pen & paper RPG's there this summer).

Great idea! It seems like so often, we get caught up in the code, that we lose the rules and the storyline.

I'm more interested in rules, story line, and verity in games. The old change the color to a monster to make five different kinds makes me ill. To boost a games playbality, I like to see multiple endings that can be achived (that even works outside of RPGs). Then rules are a fundimental basis to any game.
