Civilization

I just finished my second game ever of Advanced Civilization. This one was more fun than the first, because I felt much more competent.

I ended up coming in third, only three points behind the second-place finisher Steve. Kevin won with about 300 more points than either of us, though.

Donjon

I got introduced to the RPG Donjon on Friday, and I want to gush about it; it completely rocks on toast.

It's a dungeon-crawling RPG that gives the players a lot of narrative control; if you successfully search for secret doors, you find one, darn it, whether the GM was expecting a secret door there or not.

It would require a GM and players who have a lot of common vision about what the game should be, but I find myself really yearning to try out this game. At $10 for a PDF, I consider this a great buy.
