Play by Post Boardgame sub-board...
« on: June 15, 2011, 04:46:14 PM »
..namely, can we set one up? I was inspired by the Alice Chess thread over in the Tabletop Games section.

After all, it would give people a chance to try out stuff like crazy chess variants, and other such fun things. So, any interest?

On a strange note, would anyone be put out if we had a post about people or events we can spare a thought for, or if its within their creed, a prayer for? Just a random thought, but ... hells I wouldn't have known about either Archangels daughter or Saeomons niece if I didn't happen to be on these threads.
Sounds fine to me.
probably over on "Off-topic".
might want to put a little disclaimer in the first post.

This is the Min/Max board. We should be able to figure out a way to optimize the POWER OF PRAYER(TM) that doesn't involve "Pazuzu, Pazuzu, Pazuzu".

Well, it would be for any board game your heart desires, and quite a few wargames...


I offer to be a mod on it, if it happens.

I would be very interested on a forum of this kind as well. Don't really have the time for properly joining more online campaigns, but a wargame match or two would definetely be nice.

Me, I assume.

So... did you mean one thread for each game?

Yeah, I thought it would be a child board for each game, since you need both a map thread where you can put the current map for things like Axis and Allies. And you need a map for heroquest and stuff like that. Also for chess it would be easier if there was a map to reference now and again.

One subforum, and then people create threads for the games they want to play?

Well, why would you need a different section then? ??? There have already been games here using 3.5e, 4e, M&M, Paranoia, Burning Wheel, Dresden Files, Freeform, whatever.

Yeah, just declare a game and it gets a subboard with everything else.

Ok, so it's okay to set it up here?

Well, if anyone is up for a game of chess (any variant you want, as long as you explain all the extra rules at the beginning), I wouldn't mind playing them.

I'm just wondering what would happen to games after everyone is done playing; would their sub-board be removed (deleted), to avoid clutter? After all, a game of chess is much faster than your average campaign.

I think a board for each TYPE of game, should be fine, we just need to use thread titles to differentiate inside each.
