The New Wasteland Forum: Art, Writing, Philosophy, and Explosive Ideas

The Tavern's Gaming Section

Countless citizens of the New Wasteland gather each day in the Tavern district to enjoy all manner of nerdy games. Here is a directory of the role playing games currently going on and information dealing with the current gaming obsessions of various members.

Coming Soon: The Lego Game

The Lego game is a combination strategy and role-playing game. In it, you manage an empire and also use your powerful hero units to go on quests. Heroes cannot be created in quantity like basic units but basic units can become heroes in combat or other situations. If you want to advance your empire you must go through many different ages of technology and create many different buildings and units.

Everything is based around Lego toys. The game is only limited to the basic guidelines in the rulebook, and your own ability to think outside the box.

Sound intriguing?

Stick around for the next New Wasteland e-zine release, when the basics of the game and the first seven ages will be explained.

Current Role Playing

There is only one major RP going on currently, and it is in desperate need of members:

The Last Resort: At the lower edge of the New Wasteland there is a single pub, holding lonely vigil over the Last Resort. This one is still small, so it is a perfect time to join into the game.

Various Other Games

Darok is the new greatest game ever, according to an informal poll that made no real efforts at quality control, says Sam Keeper. It is a Russian card/drinking game based around attacks and defenses. Yes, everything you expect from a Russian game is here, except for pistols. Otherwise, it is all there, including the bloody coups. With any luck, Stella will soon write out instructions of how to play.

Additionally, Sam will soon be adding an article on Mancala, an absolutely amazing game out of Africa.

Take that, Western European Cultural Dominance!
