And I return from the bowels of nowhere(unemployed/depressed) to a place of copious amounts of free time(desk job)! And as such, I shall begin a new game of Metaslature! (The original can be found
, but I wouldn't recommend reading the rules there too intensely as it may confuse. It is a good place to look for an example of what this game should sorta look like)
As many of you may have noticed, I have a terrible tendency to give up on games after enough tediousness and boredom has crept into them. In order to deal with this, I suggest we keep it fresh, interesting, and try to get as many players as possible up in this beezy. The more, the merrier! The greater support, the greater the tower can loom! And looms produce tapestries! And us Bay12Gamers all love tapestries with an unequaled passion, as you all very well know!
