Break into servers, steal credit cards and military secrets, brag about it.  What's not to like?

Proving grounds is a Chainmail version of a D&D dungeon crawl, that is, a statistical abstraction of the movement and combat involved in such a venture.  Each player runs a party of adventurers who are trying to win a competition staged by the Invincible Overlord by clearing out a dungeon carefully stocked with Goblins, Orcs, Urakai and Dragons.  In order to win, they must prove themselves generous, ingenious, and successful.  Generous by providing the most of a single kind of gem to the Overload, ingenious by collecting the most gold, and successful either by capturing the most rooms in the dungeon or surviving with the most heroes.

Kind of cheating, I'm afraid... this is just a shiny new GUI wrapped around the old MHGC game engine.  Resurrection occurred at the request of some of the old players crawling out of the woodwork and asking for a new game!  On the other hand, the rules have evolved quite a bit and I think it's a more balanced game than the original.

This is, in Counter-Strike Parlance, a "surfing map," created at the request of my son.   By setting a in-game parameter (sv_airaccelerate) to 100, you can "slide" down the long concrete ramps suspended in space to get to better weapons.  It has a jail, teleportals, etc. 

Timeline is a bidding and tile laying game.  An international group of scientists have perfected a time machine and are going to turn it over to the government in 40 hours.  At a celebration where they’ve all been drinking heavily, they realize they have the potential to change history and end up agreeing to a competition to see who can change the timeline and accelerate technology development the most.

Sidion, Death of the King is a game of power, money, and magic.  As the King’s health fails, the eyes of the Kingdom turn to his many sons, one of which will take up the mantle of Sidion’s throne.  The Archbishop will select the new King, but ancient tradition provides strict guidelines on picking the successor.  Each Prince must gather money, magic, and political favors to prove their worth, while spending them at the same time to install cronies in the important Baronies and collect ancient artifacts of past Kings in order to win the support of the nobles. 

Turns are fast, typically under two minutes.  Negotiations between players… sometimes less so. 

The Kethem Campaign is a play-by-Email Fantasy Role Playing (FRP) game (I also publish it in Interregnum); the following writeups include the game plus background/mechanics used to make it playable. The campaign scenario is your typical post-holocaust tale. Humanity, once prosperous and technically advanced (magic tech, of course), gets trashed for reasons not clear at the beginning of the story. One final bastion of civilization (Kethem) survives the long night. Now things seem poised on the edge of turning around, and it is time for adventurous, entrepreneurial types to reclaim mankind's heritage. The question of why the original collapse occurred and whether the factors... or people... that caused it are still around remains (evil chuckle from the shadows).

It consists of two towers in opposing corners of a courtyard and a basement / dungeon. The towers are connected by two catwalks. Ammo is plentiful on the tower level, as are weapons in the dungeon, encouraging movement. There are not may places to lurk; most locations have at least two entrances.
