This Sunday there’s a Playmakers session at the Hub – we’ll be around for most of the day, talking about rulesets, making them up, testing them out, trying to answer some of the recurring questions about costumes and theme and electronic devices and team roles and all that WHERE IS THE GAME GOING???? stuff.

You should come along, if you’re around and interested – even if you’re only dropping in for half an hour, it should be fun. With any luck we’ll have a few potential game designs by the end of the day; but if not, then that’s okay too – see, for example, these notes from the Olde Dayes of Playmakers…

Note the capes: they will become a recurring theme.

The Red Team is vicious and determined.

Annotations suggest that this graph was intended to represent poor gameplay.

The cape obsession recurs.

I’m not sure what the gnomic utterances were for, which is perhaps what makes them gnomic.

So, this appears to be a picture of three bees, one of whom is wearing a cape. Er. Your guess is as good as mine on this one.
