Rule of Carnage - Designing Better Miniatures GamesEp 111: The Social Contract and Magic Circle.In Episode 111 Glenn has been considering what we mean by the social contract in tabletop games.

Our stories.In Episode 104, Mike is now working towards self-publishing some games, having previously worked with a publisher.

Rule of Carnage - Designing Better Miniatures GamesEp 102: Miniatures Game Design - I just want Closure.In Episode 102, Glenn has been thinking about the fact that games often offer, as things that life sometimes doesn't, freedom and closure. These two elements, however, seem almost directly contradictory. Also, minis games feel like they almost inevitably give closure, but hardly ever give true freedom. So, can we make a wide and free sandbox minis game? Should we try? All these questions and more remain entirely un-answered in the following conversation.

Rule of Carnage - Designing Better Miniatures GamesEp 101: Miniatures Game Design - Is horror a cursed problem?In Episode 101, Glenn has been pondering the idea of horror as an experience in tabletop games. Horror as genre is extremely popular from Universal movie style monsters to Lovecraftian entities, but very rarely as an experience. It is often based on surprise, but games require pre-knowledge, so how can it be achieved? If it can?

Rule of Carnage - Designing Better Miniatures GamesEp 98: Miniatures Game Design - You don't have to have anything in your game.In Episode 98, Glenn has been thinking about Boarders and Black Flags, his game of high seas piratical action, and about how he hasn't allow players to stab or shoot each other in it, to make it more fun. Which seems counter intuitive for a game about pirates with cutlasses and muskets and all that, but the lesson he thinks he's learnt is, nothing has to be in your game, no matter how obvious it seems.

Glenn watched it too and didn't really get it. So Mike's going to explain why it excited him. Then Glenn will probably explain why it didn't excite him. So that should be fun.

Rule of Carnage - Designing Better Miniatures GamesEp 95: Miniatures Game Design - Your resolution system doesn't matterIn Episode 95, Mike has been considering resolution systems, many designers of miniatures wargames do, we find it quite comforting. In his consideration Mike has come to the conclusion that they don't really matter. Or rather, which one you use doesn't really matter. Glenn thinks sometimes they do, but yes, mostly they probably don't. Which is probably freeing or something.

It might sound easy, but its actually not, and just saying that a game is minis agnostic because you don't have a range of minis to supply doesn't really cut it. Here Mike and Glenn talk through some of the specific problems, and even one or two solutions for them. Mostly just problems though.

Rule of Carnage - Designing Better Miniatures GamesEp 68: Miniatures Game Design - Extrinsic and Intrinsic information.In this episode Glenn has been thinking about the information that a miniatures game offers its players. They can see the tabletop like a god, the position of every trooper is public information. Some of that, as a general, they should have access to, and some they should not. At the same time, they are allowed to ask questions and check facts, some of which they would, again, not have access to.
