I have noticed that there is a certain section of social sharing that has of yet been ignored. I am rectifying this mistake. This is a place to share games native to your world, and to find other players that you would like to play those games with. I will start. Arabek.txt (1.62 KB) |

A lot of my favourite games require technology that isn't available in all worlds, but two of my more ancient and portable favourites are chess and go; I'll attach descriptions.

If people were to want to play that game with you, how would you recommend ensuring fairness for the random elements? Anybody could easily lie about whether an acolyte betrayed them or about what territory they rolled, and I don’t think anybody on this forum has a way to verify the result of a die roll in another universe. The keeper comes closest, but I expect she would have a hard time finding the right die.

Interesting.
I realize it was perhaps not clear - I am willing to play Arabek with anyone that asks, and am willing to try other games.
Leaf, I have read your game rules, and I believe I would like to play chess.
Andrew, I will manage random elements if other players do not seem trustworthy. I am trustworthy.

I enjoy Sprawl, which is a variation on Go. Sprawl is played on an infinite board with an unlimited number of stones available and an arbitrary number of players, and instead of a strict turn order each player may place at most one stone per day. Additional players may join a game already in progress.
Placing stones very far away from existing stones is discouraged but not forbidden.

Gray Librarian, I do not believe I have the patience to play Sprawl, but maybe someone else will. Thank you regardless.

I'll play chess with you if you like, Raezenoth. By private message, maybe?

I could add a random-number feature, if it wouldn't be redundant with Raezenoth.

I would not lie if I were handling random elements, but I could understand if other people didn’t believe that. Unless you have Esthfora’s power, saying that you are trustworthy doesn’t necessarily get people to trust you. The first game that comes to mind which I enjoy is Clue.

Mother of the light of stars - I would welcome a random number feature, in case people that are not gods would like to play with each other.

Testing.

Moderately resistant to cheating, though edited posts might be considered suspect, especially if there's more than one possibility about whether to roll, or what a roll means.2d6

For me, its just showing up as text that reads "2d10". Is that supposed to happen?

I see this as rolling two ten-sided dice and getting 8 each time. Is this what everybody else sees if they see any results?
Mother Starlight, how do you mean about edited posts? Do edited posts count as a reroll, or do they get the same results?
And, checking another roll:
The original roll was 5, 1, 1, 6, 12.
