Hi thom. I'm actually collected a postal Lotr chess set at the moment, which also comes with magazines that my dad is slowly reading into my digital recorder.
the set is absolutely gorgious,m ----- I've always wanted a lotr chess set, and even comes with a few spare pieces of statuary such as the cave troll and the balrog. what's really nice is the pawns are all different, ---- there's the four hobbits, Boromir, and a fair few others. For details, go to http://www.lotr-chess.co.uk/ though I have to admit there site is a litle useless, all jpg immages. to relate this to games though, one idea that you might considder could be a general game of life style creation engine. I can thin of a fair few fun games I've played which are varients on the, ---- get to the finish with X amount of cash, theme, occasionally stopping on squares to draw cards which have the consequence of losing or gaining turns or resources. One varient I had a lot of fun with once for example was called The Pyramid game, where each player was a dead phairo trying to get their sarcophagus to the valley of the kings and build a pyramid. It had all the game of life style rules, drawing of either good or bad cards on certain squares, having to expend money (in the form of silver tallants), on other squares, ---- for example having to buy a barge to carry the sarcophagus down the nile. True, it had a couple of unique variations, ---- such as slaves as a 2nd form of currency, and playing of a 31s style card game to get the 5 building blocks for your pyramid, as well as a beatle esque dice game at the end to build it. but I think you could do a lot with a game of life editer, especially if you were able to add your own sounds for the various game events. Just a thought anyway. Beware the grue!
