Played first half of one game against the Tornadoes of the BFL.
I’m getting killed, though I managed to hold on to the ball for the last 10 minutes of the second quarter. It’s 17 – 0. Brunell is 3 for 13 in the first half. The biggest offensive play of the game was an interception [...]
I finally sent off my gameplans to the UK Statis-Pro League I am a part of. Yes, I was two days late.
It can be really challenging, but I think I made myself clear and also covered all bases.
I’ll post more about it later, especially talking about the holes I have in my squad…

The attached spreadsheet is a utility to flipping the 109 cards that are part of the Statis-Pro Football game. This utility does not generate random number for the Run# or Pass#. It shuffles the 109 card deck and allow you to ‘draw’ them one at a time. When the deck is empty, it will tell [...]
First, the two items of bad news. The perl script in the previous post did not upload correctly and I do not have a copy with me. Bleh. The second is that I cannot get my latest installation of leaguesite to work correctly. I can add players and teams, but no statistics. The original makers [...]
I’m sorry for the recent spam. I got overwhelmed by the spam when I didn’t update my hashcash filter.
I have been working on a few things. I’ll update the current development page soon. Really.
I stopped the football project long enough to actually play Statis-Pro Football again. I have a pretty good team with a few [...]
I finally found a place, thanks to a commenter on Flywheel, that helps you make board games. It looks like that they can even custom fabricate certain pieces. This would be interesting if anyone ever considered creating Bertzel Chess.
Game Inventor Kits and other assorted goodies.
You can buy just the boxes, just the board, or an [...]
I like Chess variants a great deal. In fact, my wife bought me an Omega Chess set for Christmas. While there a couple months ago, I happened upon an invention by Graeme C Neatham. It is basically a variation of chess on a hexagonal board. No surprise, considering the link. The difference comes in splitting [...]
I have all the boxscores from the 1985 season. I’m doing it as part of a quest to get more information than currently available online about the USFL’s final season. The various sources come from local newspapers. I will create a section of Sycarion that is just for the completed boxscores.
Game 1 in Tampa Bay [...]
I know, I know. Everything lately has been RPG stuff. Dice is in my blood, I guess. So now, back to a project I’ve been working on for the better part of 2007, the Pro Football Action project.
The software that I was using to create entire seasons had one small flaw that prevented me from [...]
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.
