It's quite different from what we've done before so it should inspire some interesting entries. I can see the logic in waiting till January but if you want to get going that should be your prerogative as host. 5 hours ago, Fragile Bird said: You could start now and give lots of time between rounds, maybe? I'd be willing to start now and give plenty of time. I'll be away Nov. 27 - Nov. 30, so I'd give you all a week then. So far, three of you are in - maybe four with Jez. I'll just start Sunday (Nov. 17), set a week long deadline and see who jumps in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little something to enliven the month of January, perhaps It takes me a while to find interesting theme ideas and it gets harder the longer time goes by since I last read the books.

RhaenysBee Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 @rocksniffer @Dolorous Gabe How exactly does acrophilia work, gentlemen? I don’t think I’d ever played that one during my years on the Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think I’d ever played that one during my years on the Forum. Acrophilia is somewhat akin to self-flagellation, not that I have ever taken it upon myself to partake in the latter. But I imagine them to be quite similar Very basically, the idea is that players will be given a few acronyms, just as in Acrophobia, but they will also privately be given a character from ASOIAF. You use one of the acronyms to create a clue to the character you are given. When the round starts, the clues are posted much like the entries in Acrophobia but players must work out the characters presented in the clues. There will be a theme linking the characters, which - if you can find - helps with any clues you might be struggling with. That's the basic gist of it anyway. We've had many variations of rules and format. If you decide to play with us, i must preemptively apologise for my equally abominable and magnificent creation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, acrophobia has been doing wonders to my vocab so maybe the philia version would also help to give it another much needed kick. ah come on, both your creations are magnificent without being abominable 7 hours ago, rocksniffer said: you will be good at it, Rhaeny... Thanks for the trust Well we shall see. It will most likely take a few rounds to get the hang of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeyed chicken Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Apologies! I forgot to put a link here to the new game. It's up and running and 'm taking sentences already. The deadline is Sunday, November 24, but it's not a hard deadline - I'll slide any late comers in that I get. here's the new game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
