The Evil Plan - Iona the Seeker

Here's some pictures of The Evil Plan in play. Notice that it looks a lot like Klondike solitaire. I apologize for the poor quality pictures and blog formatting.



Here we have Iona's Assets laid out. The pile starting with the 9 of Spades is the Death Tree; a petrified yet ever growing huge oak tree that drains souls.

The Queen of Spades [mook] is a nasty Dire Wight named Shriek! who lives in the barrens around Iona's home, they seem to have an uneasy truce.

Finally, the Queen of Hearts [clout] is Baron Taldash, a brutish thug who owes his very nobility to Iona's continued mind control enchantments on the King.



Uh, oh. Iona sent Shriek! to go stop the garrison (above the Ace) that was being built by the local villages sick of being terrorized and Shriek! got smoked.













This is a close up of Iona's Evil Plan to cause the villages to suffer (so she can bottle the suffering to use for unsavory purposes later). Also, Shriek! has been defeated. Bye, Shriek! For Iona's [mook], we go to Burrow Worm, a burrowing worm who seems to think you're its mommy.

Solitaire RPG contest

So, after participating in Ron Edwards Ronnies 2011 (and getting runner-up) I've decided to adapt my game to a solo RPG.

It's called Demilich, and in it you play battling magical skulls, using your minions and mooks to destroy the competition. In the solo version, you are still building your network and resources, but you are also trying to complete YOUR EVIL PLAN! More on this later. You can download the 24hour RPG version I did for the contest here

There was a lot of deliberation of how to do this on my part. Originally, I wanted a game which used Tarot cards (and I still may submit this as well) but I hit upon an idea for using Demilich that is making me cackle! Stay tuned.
