Cheating Chess

So I created a chess variant.

Most Current Rules

Plays as normal chess, except as follows.

Instead of checkmate, you lose if your king is in check at the end of your turn.

On your turn you may declare an illegal move (moving a piece to a space it can’t legally reach.) If you do, roll a 6 sided die and follow the result below.

1: Your piece is removed from the game, if it was your King, you lose the game.

2: If your piece is a pawn attacking a queen, remove it from the game.

3,4: Nothing happens.

5: If your piece is a pawn attacking any other piece, or a knight, rook, or bishop attacking a queen, then nothing happens. If not, your piece successfully makes the illegal move.

6: Your piece successfully makes the illegal move.

You may not move onto one of your own pieces.

Reminder: Capturing your opponent’s King makes it impossible to put it in check, don’t do it.

Project Updates

A summery of projects I'm currently working on:
Pre-Alpha
Horror Movie (No link yet, a rebuild of my Horror RPG as a pure board game)
Rust Days (Hiatus)
Bargain Front Page
Endgame (Early development, it'll hopefully get it's own post soon)
Alpha
Hunters Index
Black Magic Club Main Hub
Green Victoria Disorganized Homepage
Beta
Mastery Open Beta

This is mostly to create a collection of links for playtesters. I'll be making specific posts for each game as they get closer to a releasable state.

Now that I'm off work, I should have more time to get these to a playable state. Mastery I'm hoping to get to open-beta in a week or so, it'll get it's own post when it's ready.

Horror RPG

Index URL
A "competitive" RPG, where the Evil (GM) is trying to kill the Characters (Players.) While both sides should try to win, roleplaying is strongly encouraged.

Investment Poker

Link to Game
Similar to Texas holdem, meant to model investment. Just a doodle really.

Merchant Princes

Merchant Princes
A quick little card game I whipped up, to be played with a regular deck of cards (no Jokers.)
Let me know if you see any breaking strategies, come up with neat house rules, or are confused at all.

One Shot Story System

One Shot Story System
This is designed as a universal system for running murder mysteries and other combative LARPs. It uses the module-based design, like Heist, so if there are particular settings or mechanics you want to integrate, you just have to find the appropriate module. If you make your own module, let me know, and I can add it to the official page.

Final Mastery

I've finally come up with mechanics I'm happy with for a martial arts RPG. This post is a link homepage for the public materials, I'll be explaining more about the game later.

Setting and GM materials

Something Like Alive

My entry in the 2013 Game Chef competition.

My Game

Elevator Pitch: Saving a spaceship that doesn’t want your help, in a world where wounds never heal. A game of perfect infection, and the imperfect cure.

Trigger Happy

A new game in the same family as Werewolf, Mafia, or UME.
Trigger Happy
Nobody seems to put comments on the blog, so I'll leave questions to the doc.

Partnership Game

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yB6w0OFNITkdHJpfepFO0J3zJCwLRVLyhtk2jXnTRKI/edit?usp=sharing
I hesitate to call it a 'party game' unless you are at a very nerdy party. But this should be a quick and fun game for a group of people of fairly arbitrary size.

Cyborg Deathmatch

A post-apocalyptic rpg, with elements from the mecha and survival genres, as well as some unique twists.
Game Book

2 Rule Game

So I found out Go technically only has 2 rules. I had to find out if I could make such a simple game, so here’s my take on it.
Rule 1: Each two player pairing submit secret integer bids to the third player.
Rule 2: If their bids sum to less than 11, each receives that many points.
Scoring: The player with the most points wins.

Presenting Darkgate

Presenting Darkgate
A supernatural game of investigation and transdimensional entities. It shares some similarities with "Lovecraft" genre games, but the protagonists tend to be much more capable, though no less vulnerable.

New Game: The Island

A werewolf/murder-mystery style game of survivors stranded on an island.
The Island
My primary intent is to test it on Antifinity Games (my new forum) but in theory it should be playable anywhere you could play werewolf/mafia.

New Mastery

New Mastery is finally good enough to reveal! It's an extremely combat oriented rpg, with few-to-no mechanics for handling non-combat situations, but since it's exclusively for telling the stories of martial artists, I feel that's a fine trade. Enjoy!
New Mastery

Government

Came up with an idea for a neat new game. It's a quick decision-making game to be played with 4 players and a judge. Many of the mechanics in the game are inspired by game theory problems.

Government.

News

Two new things.
1) For those not participating, the Just War Alpha is going great, coming up on the 7th week now, with 2 of the Candidates eliminated. I've already got plans for a streamlined sequel, so check that out linked from the "Updates" page, and sign up below if you want me to let you know when it's ready.
2) My Sin, a new RPG in a style mixing Don't Rest Your Head, Persona, and sprinkles from a few other sources. It's a game about Friendship, Sin, and Acceptance.
Here is the doc in progress: My Sin

Just War

This new (mostly complete) rpg has all the PCs competing in a tournament. The game is meant to be self explanatory, so anything you don't understand just ask about in the comments.

Wiseman Council

Dirt

Dirt is my latest attempt at a narrative RPG. The players are dirty cops in a city of corruption. The setting is currently up in the air, favoring an ambiguous modern city. Rolls are on a d6, and slightly favor the player. The primary themes will be corruption, hard choices, and disaster.

P2 reboot

I'm recreating P2 as a simpler game with the "Paranoia" material stripped out. It'll still be dystopian and awesome, but not bound to the Paranoia timeline or mechanics.
