3060:: "This study of Laukat's games reveals three different ways his créateur status can be discursively constructed: through the game aesthetics, through the narrative worldbuilding, and through the interplay between theme and mechanics. I chose Laukat's gaming output to represent the créateur for a number of reasons. First, there is a manageable output of games to examine. Red Raven Games has published thirteen games, ten of them designed by Laukat. Compared to the output of some designers, for example Reiner Knizia (who has published over 600 games), ten can be studied in a time-sensitive way. Second, Red Raven Games all have a recognizable aesthetic sense, mainly because Laukat does the art for all the games himself. Third, Red Raven Games has become a success in the board game industry: Above and Below (2015), their best-selling game, has sold around 50,000 copies, while the Eight-Minute Empire (2012) series has sold over 40,000 worldwide and has been translated into over fifteen languages. His highest-ranked game on BoardGameGeek (BGG) is Near and Far (2017), with a rank of 132 (as of December 2019). Fourth, on a personal level, I enjoy playing his games—while not a scientifically valid rationale, the fact that his games are fun while also retaining a sense of his particular style is a meaningful factor in the discursive construction of the créateur. The games that I researched for this chapter are all designed by Ryan Laukat, with art by Laukat as well: Eight- Minute Empire, Artifacts, Inc. (2014), Above and Below, City of Iron 2e (2016), ..." 6991:

approaching 40 and never married, have lived together for 18 years, give or take a revolving guest roommate, cohabitating in spaces like an East Village walk-up, a Chelsea loft and, now, a converted office space in Queens. ... Imagination and creativity have always been important to the men, who met at N.Y.U. in 1991, three of them through a role-playing group organized by Mr. Crane. While still in college, they lived in neighboring dorm rooms. For a brief stint in 1994, a two-bedroom, fourth-floor walk-up on East Fifth Street was home to Mr. Crane, Mr. Brown and Mr. Dempsey. ... Mr. Crane channeled his interest in fantasy into creating The Burning Wheel, a role-playing game he first published in 2002. None have come close to making it big, although Mr. Crane is somewhat famous in the niche world of role-playing. ... Hart Crane, Mr. Crane’s younger brother, started visiting the men from his home in North Carolina when he was 9. Now he is 22. ... In December, Mr. Dempsey will be the first roommate to turn 40, followed by Mr. Theerakulstit and Mr. Crane in the spring, and Mr. Brown next August."

was one of a few employees, Hammack was one of 350 employees. The firm's best-known game, Dungeons & Dragons, had caught on. "TSR got a burst of nationwide publicity. The company really started growing. It got more like a big impersonal corporation than the group of friends it had once been." Hammack became a victim of the company's growth. The company hired more employees than it could afford, got in financial trouble, and chose to extricate itself by letting go middle-level management personnel. Hammack was one who got let go. He left Lake Geneva, Wisc., where TSR is based, and returned with his wife Susan to Birmingham, where he grew up. Two months ago he opened his own game and bookshop, the Lion and Unicorn, in Five Points South. "I was ready to come back South," Hammack says. "The Wisconsin winters are notorious. I learned the true meaning of 'wind chill factor' in Wisconsin." Hammack, 29, splits his time between running the shop and writing for game companies. He writes well-documented supplements to adventure games like Dungeons & Dragons."

Anche per questo la giocabilità è molto alta e basta una lettura superficiale del manuale per entrare subito nello spirito del game.

depicting a rocky coastline and divided into 227 numbered hexagons. At each turn, the player controlling the shark secretly writes down the number of the hex to which he intends to move (this may be the same hex as he is currently on or it may be up to four hexes away), the player or players controlling the swimmers moves them each a distance of up to 2 hexes , and the player controlling the shark reveals his move and places the shark piece accordingly. If the shark lands on the same hex as a swimmer, the swimmer is swallowed whole. If the shark lands on a hex adjacent to that of a swimmer, the swimmer loses a leg and continues to move only one hex per turn. Swimmers losing both legs merely drift one hex in the direction of the shore. Dice are used if a swimmer lands on a hex depicting a Red Herring which offers one of twelve instructions, half of which are favourable and half unfavourable."

the gaming community, Peterson references many nearly-impossible-to-find fanzines and rules books from the early days of the hobby, as well as telephone interviews and correspondences with numerous individuals who were involved with the development of role-playing games. Appelcline's series relies on Peterson's book at many points—especially in the early volumes—but expands on that prior work by focusing more intently on the business end of the early hobby, with special attention paid to things like intellectual property rights, marketing, and distribution. Both authors manage to present a mountain of information in a very accessible, engaging format, and anyone interested in particular stages of the development of the hobby—from hit points and character classes to the first “indie” games and the rise of "story-based" role-playing—will find a rich trove of resources in either work."

the identifiers of the various military departments easily recognisable, even at a superficial glance. The game can be managed entirely with the sole use of the mouse. Working in a Windows environment makes operations easier and more immediate, in practice everything is managed through the drop-down menu, numerous windows open and close on the video which show the status of the various departments or explain some ongoing situations. This is also why the playability is very high and a superficial reading of the manual is enough to immediately get into the spirit of the game. The program contains very detailed help, which can be browsed as if it were a real book, as is the WINDOWS tradition. It is possible to choose between six different scenarios, or if you want, you can create a completely vast battle theater, using the editor that comes with the program."

11347:, a bundle of board game design essays by Jeremy Holcomb that came in a box with game prototyping materials such as dice, colored cubes, cardboard chits, and multicolor wooden person tokens (or "meeples" in board game parlance). The 10.5-page chapter on rulebooks comes relatively early in the book and is the only reviewed chapter that speaks to the implicit/explicit rule dichotomy that Salen and Zimmerman cover in detail in Rules of Play as an important part of game manual style. This chapter gives a thorough explanation of each of the crucial sections of a standard rulebook and attends to the order in which those sections should appear to make the rulebook easy to understand for a new reader. Though this chapter does not cover in any significant detail how to conduct usability testing on the manual, this is covered in later chapters." 1347:

Mixing tactical battles, role-playing elements, and action sequences, Sword of the Samurai was a great game that never received the acclaim of its predecessor. ... Hendrick parlayed his military history background into the original M1 Tank Platoon. Then, Hendrick created the most detailed role-playing game imaginable. Darklands was one part detailed historical setting (Germany during the 15th century AD) and another part open-ended fantasy. Unfortunately, Darklands arrived over budget, past due, and with hundreds of thousands of lines of discrete code instead of the promised software engine that could craft 15th-century Italy and 15th-century Britain as its heirs apparent. It also arrived with so many bugs that it ran through seven patches before it was playable on the average machine."

I refined the search by searching for "Oasis" and people or topics related to the television series such as "Carlton Television", "Carlton", "ITV", "CITV", "Zenith North", "Dean Gaffney", "John Simm", "Posh Robert", "wasteland", "The Jungle", and "Byker Grove" which helped filter out irrelevant results. Another tip is I used quotation marks around search terms so that the query returned only results with those exact phrases. When there were too many results, I also refined the searches by narrowing search results to the years 1992 to 1994 since the television series aired in 1993. For some topics, I do several combinations of searches in multiple places which is why for some of the harder cases it takes me between one and three hours for source searches. 10062:"Dungeon Masters Guide," as well as the games "Boot Hill" and "Top Secret."

Reviewed by Don Bassingthwaite. ... According to his bio, these are author Andrew Bates' first three novels. Well done! The action is suitably intense and the plotting is brisk. Slotting the world-views of the different monstrous factions of the World of Darkness together is no easy task, nor is smoothing over the game jargon, but Bates has done a good job of both. The few rough edges that do remain — frequently repeated information, jarring bits of dialogue, extraneous details and actions, and the odd plot line that ends up going nowhere — are distracting but not detrimental to a good story. ... If the Year of the Scarab Trilogy is anything to judge by, you may want to keep an eye on Andrew Bates." 11625:

Price earned a bachelor’s degree in physics and went on to graduate studies in theoretical astrophysics. After deciding not to pursue a career in academia, he began work as a designer for the company that made the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons.

there, so he started a Kickstarter for producing RPGs. He designed larger pieces such as the 132-page Goblin Quest (2015) but found the scheduling too grueling. Howitt's wife, Mary "Maz" Hamilton, then suggested one-page RPGs. Howitt embraced this model starting with Force-Blade Punk (2016), which like many one-pagers was as much of an artistic design as a game. Howitt's most famous design was certainly Honey Heist (2017), a game of animals stuck between criminality and bearness. Multiple Critical Role sessions ensured that the whole world knew about the one-page game. Meanwhile, the idea has continued to explode, with itch.io beginning to run One-Page RPG Jams in 2020."

magnitude and relevance. It also sports system rules that serve to illustrate some of the deliberation on the ways to integrate setting and mechanics, and thereby demonstrates how TRPG game system processes can function as a procedural rhetoric modeling experience. The game illustrates how setting ideas and system modeling can function in conjunction to create a player experience of productive and eye-opening estrangement.

Things work in different ways in different media, and not all transfer; some aesthetics intersect, but some don't. You always need to adapt a work of art for a different medium, and therefore you always have to adapt your understanding of works of art for different media.
