This will be a small zine, done as something like a companion to S&D, with a scope extending beyond PBM stuff. It will work off the "slow gaming" concept recently discussed around here -- heavy, involved gaming experiences, wherever they may be found. PBM is part of that scope, but so is the euro-boardgame movement, certain PC games and MMOs, and even fantasy sports.
Some name ideas:
- PROG Gaming (Proactive-Reflective Organized Gameplay) or just PROG
- Fin Whale (ancient, mostly submerged, asymmetric markings, high momentum)
- Ixnay's Editorial Dispatch
- PONG (Pictures from Outside Neural Gaming or some other such acronym)
Possible sub-titles:
- gaming at the speed of thought
- gaming for the heavily caffeinated
any thoughts? rotten tomatoes?
Ixnay,
Because you're looking for a broader scope, maybe something more generic in nature like "Cerebral Games" or "Ponderous Gaming" might work well for you ... although "gaming for the heavily caffeinated" works very well for me!
