Randi’s new schedule will make it a lot easier for us to collaborate on various projects. I’ve been soliciting her input regarding Jack of Trades, the rules-light, playing card-driven roleplaying game I’m working on. I wanted to create a game that anyone could download for free, and be playing within five minutes. There will be no collectible cards, no miniatures or gameboards, and no confusing rules conflicts or monthly errata; this is a game designed for simplicity and accessibility. You can play it with the same cards you’d use to play poker.
There are four major settings in the works. Three of them draw upon my own ideas, while the fourth is an intriguing concept that Randi put forward. You’ll hear more about these as time passes.
