All Kinds of Fun!
Added a new link to Nailbiter Games. Nailbiter Games specializes in sports sims. I’ve downloaded a couple and they look very interesting.
These games are not in the Statis-Pro or APBA category. Each game is an abstraction that looks at the relative strengths of two teams and provides highlights of each drive.
One game, however, allows for a distribution of points to a team’s roster. It is called Coach’s Call Football and is avaiable here. QB’s have a cost, the better rating, the more costly. Skill positions have a cost. The Defense is a generic rating, but you can rater the DL and LB on a 1-5 scale. The same is true of the OL.
It wouldn’t be hard to imagine using this system to rate all the teams and recreate a season. Just may have to fiddle with it and see what turns up.
This game *is* chart-heavy. This doesn’t bother some folks, but I thought it would be fair warning for others that may not like a game with seven results charts.
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.
