Games I Play

Board Games

• The Game Cabinet is perhaps the best resource for board games on the net.
• Go: Largely unchanged after thousands of years of playtesting, go is the primal essence of all board games.
• Titan: Why, it's the monster slugathon fantasy wargame, of course!
• Winners of Germany's Game of the Year Award. These games are all excellent, and many of them have been translated into English. Those Germans sure can pick 'em!

RolePlaying Games

• GURPS: the Vaguely-Extensible Role-Playing System. Simple, and yet verbose.
• Live Roleplaying with the MIT Assassins' Guild.

Other Sorts of Games

• Riddler: Play games on the web for valuable prizes! It costs nothing but your demographic info to enter.
• Needless to say, I play lots of computer games. Check out the Games Domain.

Games I Worked On

Computer Games

• Ultima Underworld II is too old to have a web page.
• System Shock was sort of a first person, 3d, space-station-full-of-mutants-Sigourney-Weaver-with-a-flamethrower kinda thing. Published by Origin Systems.
• Flight Unlimited was a breakthrough aerobatics flight simulator.
• Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri was a testosterone-charged 3d powered-battle-armor game.
• Thief: The Dark Project is a "First-Person Sneaker," shipped in Christmas 1998.

RolePlaying Games

• Tzalmir, a continuously-running high-fantasy roleplaying game run by Laura Baldwin and sometimes myself.
• Gedankenspiel, my paranoid tabloid weird-sh*t campaign, has no web page at this time, but here's some gedankenlinks to tide you over:
  • The Disinformation Server
  • iahushua.com: The creepiness of this web page is outdone only by its illegibility.

Other Stuff of Interest

• Babylon 5 : TV like has never been done before.
• Soul Coughing: Hip-hoppy Neo-dadaist beat visionaries for the nineties. (They're a band, silly!)
• The Surrealist Compliment Generator: What more do you need to know?
• Zapato Productions Intradimensional: It was much better than Cats. I laughed. I cried. I'll surf there again and again.
• How To Do the Right Thing: A very cool technical paper about goal selection in artificial creatures. By Pattie Maes at the MIT Media Lab.
• www.mahk.com: Totally creepy. No relation whatsoever. Honest.
