All Kinds of Fun!
As stated on the main page, I like games a lot. My favorite board game is Apples to Apples. However, I also like a lot of other games like Chess (and its many variations), Settlers of Catan, Rook, Axis & Allies, and tons of others. I’m also into RPGs, though to be honest, I only played 3.0 D&D once.
I hope to do a lot for card games as well as OpenD6 and M20. My main talent (may be overstating my abilities) is creating worlds. I need to clean up the links, but here are the settings I’ve created thus far:
Bedriana: a sort-of post apocyliptic fantasy Rome.
Hypermen: a superhero setting in 1770.
Aetherflow: a fantasy space opera
I’ve done all kinds of fantasy settings for D&D, but those notes are all in crumbling notebooks. I’ll add them as I can.
My other talents is making generators in spreadsheets. I’ll post these as I can. I particularly like creature stat generators.
I want to do something with the Action! System, but it is more likely that I will create material for Microlite20 and later, OpenD6. Of coruse, I’ll have stuff on other diversions as well.
These other diversions will be anything from Card Games to Board Games to Dvorak based card games. Posts will present various ideas and make them open to discussion. PDFs and OpenOffice files will be available on Beta and Finished projects. If you really want Alpha files, send an email to me.
I am always looking for folks interested in helping out. If you enjoy entertaining people, or if you enjoy the details of good game mechanics, or if you just have a fun idea, just drop me a line.
Feel free to look at the Roadmap

One example of a regular card game is Dice Poker, check it out!
Sycarion Diversions is a sister site of pinakidion.*. pinakidion.* deals more with religious and writing topics. This site houses information on games. Specifically, this has information on card games, board games, and role-playing games. Card games and board games are a collaborative effort with my friend Jeff. Jeff has created and briefly marketed one board game and has idea for lots of others. Role-Playing Games are my bailiwick. I've been playing since I was 10 starting with the Mentzer Basic D&D box. I stopped playing in college, but recently renewed my love for RPGs. In 2005, I discovered the Action! System from Goldrush Games. Since then, I have also found Microlite20 and OpenD6. It's a good time to game.
For what it is worth, feel free to use anything that you see on the site. It is not copyrighted or even placed under a Creative Commons License. Part of the reason for this is that rules for games cannot really be copyrighted. However, the main reason is that the value of this site is the community I am a part of. Restrictions on ideas and games can delay innovation, even simple restrictions can be an impediment. Sure, I'd like a link and to be given credit, but that's up to the person.
