Hi, and thanks for liking my stuff. :)
And for the vote. Is one to one now, since i have a vote too, and i preffer
1024 stuff. But, hey, if the page was JUST FOR MYSELF, why would i put on
internet, right? :)
Talking about other stuff now...about Panels...i really love diceless stuff.
But with cards on it. I will explain. I have run a long list of games as GM,
but some of my best experiences are with diceless games, be it Nobilis or
Amber. I recall a game called Everyway or something, but i never really read
or played it. I heard it uses (or used, since it look as gone as clark
kent/superboy in the DC post-crisis, wich suckz, btw) cards. But i not sure
about it or the mechanics. And ok, is not really original, but why not make
it diceless but with "imbalanced card resolution system"?
The system would be simple...when i situation arises, and you usually rolls
dices, the GM draws a card, looks at it, and tell about some situation. A
pack of cards is not really good, since it gives no imaginative force
besides the "high and low" numbers. Once i run a game where i used one of my
tarot decks for it (the other i use only for reading. And yes, i believe in
my lectures, they work, im superticious, and i just use my deck once per
year or so), and was a blast. Easy to go, the players have fun, etc, etc.
Doesnt require lots of imagination, but is not just diceless, but very
impredictable, since in this case, the cards have run the story more than i
did (hummm...Man in the High Castle just made a few points here, folks).
So, what you think about it? If you like, think in a system, we can think in
a format, i could make some images for it, and this could even be
downloaded. Nice free RPG with stuff to be used. :)
Btw, if you still like super heroes (ok, i still like it, and i still crying
reading when super-moça (supergirl for you) dies in the "crises" series.
:) ), give a look at www.myfreedomforce.com, and check the game, is very
nice and fun. :)

P.S.: i still have a problem with this list: i cant see the emails of the
senders. I just got the "ua at lists.uchicago.edu", so i can send private
emails, and have to reply directly to UA list.
