Who’s doing this?

Posted by kirin at 10:11 pm on January 5, 2010.

Not much to say. I’m a thirty-something graphics designer from Los Angeles. I’m certainly not any sort of professional game designer, just another hobbyist looking to put together a fun game, albeit one that’s approachable both graphically and intuitively.

I have a more general (and largely neglected) gaming blog over at Gelatinous Cubed, if you’re curious as to what else I’m cooking away at. When I’m looking to talk gaming, you can usually find me hanging around online at Circvs Maximvs or Story-Games.

If you want to, you can follow my twitter feed here.

Read oldschoolhack, it’s great. Haven’t tried it, but I bet it rules! Reminds me of basic d&d, 4e, and Donjon (and maybe spirit of the century with awesome points…). You should consider renaming it… Arenas and Awesome points!

Wow. I read the rules, and wow. They’re fantastic, and I think exactly what I’ve been looking for in an RPG. I think they can easily replace D&D for me. It’s everything I like, minus everything I don’t.

Plus, the visual design job is great. Love your use of icons. RPG design needs more graphic designers onboard.

Amazing, I love it.

I’ll try to get a play test going with my own troupe. I love the addition of the Goblin.

OSH was brought to my attention thru Michael Wolf’s blog yesterday, and I must say it’s so bloody close to its mission statement (which just happens to coincide with my own preferences) that I’m completely in awe. I’ll try to write a more thorough analysis on my blog soon – as soon as I can find the words to do so!

My one gripe at this point is the audacity of the writer at daring to create something this perfect. What’s left for us mere mortals? (Inspiration, that’s what.)

I also have to wonder… Is the “inflammatory halitosis” line just a throwaway dragon gag… or a MWWG reference…?

Impressively presented.
