All Kinds of Fun!
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 using it:
I couldn’t make my own teams.
In the case of the USFL, I couldn’t get enough stats on players and teams without camping out at the library and reading a lot of microfilm.
So, I switched to a different program, Alex Mittenmeyer’s FBWin. It is a windows version of the old Avalon Hill game, Statis-Pro Football. It uses Access Databases to store stats, track a season and so much more.
However, editing a team wasn’t entirely straightforward. Many people wrote to Alex, including me. I’m happy to say that I have the editor and will post it here for others to download.
You can contact Alex at the Statis-Pro Football yahoo group.
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.

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.
