1 Page Rules Challenge
« on: January 18, 2013, 10:51:29 PM »
To stimulate some ideas in wargame rule writing I have set a Forum up to try and gain some interest in simple sets of rules on one sheet of paper.These sets are not for competition games but for people who want a nice simple pick up set for a club gaming night.

The idea is that we decide on a period / battle / war from suggestions. We then have a poll to see which wins. We all then write a set of rules for the chosen challenge.

I have also set up an area where some existing 1 page rules I am aware of have been added to give ideas or just for general interest.

So if you want to join the challenge, join us over at the forum and register:

Seems very interesting!

My only doubt is about making a forum only for that contest! Beside of that, the idea is really great. Probably the best way to evaluate a ruleset is making at least one gameplay per ruleset, though.

The idea is to have multiple challenges so there will be different castegories and each will have multiple submissions.

Why wouldn't this forum do for proposing & writing rules?

Edit: took a quick look at this new forum just in read-only-mode; discovered confusion over the difference between a "sheet" and a "page". Here's a hint for any interested parties: one sheet of paper = two pages. One page = one, and only one, side of a sheet of paper.
