quick update to test out Chrome OS. That's correct I am typing this within Google Chrome OS. This operating system is running from USB drive! I downloaded a few tools for free and used Hexxeh Flow build of Chrome OS. Now it is a bit slow to load on this machine (and yes it didn't work on the first two machines as the BIOS couldn't boot from USB HDD but 3rd desktop let me load it up). But once it is loaded it works beautifully. It still has bugs and the hardware support is very restrictive but after spending an afternoon playing with it I am confident that it will be fantastic when it comes out!
For the last few years David Schirduan and Marshall Miller , have run a 200 word rpg challenge . The simple concept is a competition to " Design a role-playing game using 200 words or less ." With a panel of judges going through the dozens and dozens of entries. Reading through previous years entries has inspired me to give it a go. Below is my attempt at writing a simple rpg in 200 words. I would love to hear any thoughts people have after reading it. The Labyrinthine Library Need Scrabble tiles, DM & 3-4 players Players are the Arcanist’s assistants. Sent into the labyrinthine library to find a lost spell scroll. The DM makes up a series of challenges. Character creation Characters have 2 HP. Take 2 scrabble tiles. The Letters are your Initials. Make up your names. The numbers give you 2 abilities from list below. 1 = +1HP 2 = nimble 3 = goodshot 4 = brawler 5 = small animal companion (cat/owl/ferret etc) 8 = academic 10 = 1 (DM approved) spell
