Hello all.
I figured I might as well give a head’s up in regards to something I do. What I do is I “hack” tabletop games. I come up with variants, and I discuss these ideas on my YouTube channel, Classic Games Redefined. I also do commentary on game news. Part of my motivation for the channel, besides showing people how to play my games (people don’t like to read) was to also discuss trends that annoy me about the videogame industry, where the idea is for people to turn games into devices to push an agenda, thinking that stale gameplay is what is needed to push something that has no challenge or replayability. Yes, I have opinions here.
Here is the channel, if you are interested:

Anonymous1On those tabletop games of yours, is Role Playing games included? 🙂
Haha, when I read “tabletop” and “hacking”, I thought “this is some serious Shadowrun drek we have going on here…AWESOME!”
My YouTube channel is on pretty much everything game related that is not AAA videogames. I am sick of the current videogame industry and its going off a cliff financially so it does bull. I would support people who do pen and paper RPGs, but on a philosophical level, I question if an RPG is actually a game, because I would ask: Is the Star Trek Holodeck a game? Anyhow, it is a debatable point, away from the core of what I am doing. I don’t design RPG stuff though, but I did a video looking a persistence as a mutator for games. RPGs with stat building and campaigns have it.
I would say, as far as what I play, I do some stat building videogame stuff (mucking around with Rogue Legacy on my Vita). I don’t normally play much pen and paperwise, because I am not one to make such a commitment (I need my schedule flexible, so won’t do a campaign), and also I tend to get a bit of Civ amnesia, which consists of forgetting what the heck I was doing. Single session playing and so on works better.
Oh, I did design what I would consider to be the World’s Word Boardgame (W.W.B) and did an RPG version of it, where you don’t play the game, but you roleplay a character playing the game 😛 (yes, I did that).
