Flashback

On Sunday morning I purchased "Yoshi's Story" on the Wii Console. I had played it a lot when I owned it on the N64, often with friends, taking turns. I fired it up and it's still as annoying and difficult as I remember. V loved it! He loved the sound. He loved the bright colours. He loved picking which Yoshi would be next to die.

Good Fun.

Fifty Two Hooks Part 11

As promised to babalon_93, I'm going to be doing 52 items of my own for the next year.

I'll be trying to come up with a new "game idea" for a RPG every week. These can be very minor (Suitable for a single session), to medium (suitable for a multi-week campaign) to major (Suitable to build a whole world around).

I have used NONE of these before, so although some of these have been kicking around the old grey matter for ages, this is the first time I have most of them down on screen.

Hook : Countdown 30
(suitable for a multi-week campaign)

This is a short, sweet concept game:
30 Gaming Sessions. 30 Days of gameplay. 30 days until the end of the world.

Watch your players go through the stages. Denial. Anger. Bargaining. Depression. Acceptance.

SYSTEMS: Almost anything. It can be injected into almost any genre.

Hook : Rule in Hell
(Suitable for about 2 months of gaming)
