I have finished the first cut at a multi-player roll-playing(Not Role Playing) game under partnership with NueLow Games. Rolf! is an electronic version of the old style table-top paper RPG games that were popular back in the 80's. There games are still pretty popular with the non tech savvy and it was a chance to try something new. All artwork is from Larry Elmore and used under license. He does really fantastic work! Anyway Rolf is available as a paper game from rpgnow. The iPhone game is multiplayer only and contains a PDF of the official rule book of Rolf. The game is in total black and white. I wanted to capture the feel of paper RPG gaming. The game is Supposed to take place in your head and with your interactions with other players. Paper games typically had pads of paper for players to take notes and record moves, weapons, abilities, etc. This app takes care of some of the nitty gritty rules, but it is up to the players and their imagination to make it all work. In a future post I will outline a few problems I had and how to solve them.
Enjoy and Happy Gaming.
