The Last of Us Part 2 Is Not My REAL Dad Game — God of War: Ragnarök Is

We now have sequels to two of the most well-known “dad games”, but only one of them feels like a mature meditation on what the role of a…

I wrote an article! It's about how God of War: Ragnarok fares as a "dad game" sequel compared to The Last of Us Part 2 (spoiler: it's better).

Birth Of Game Designer’s First Child Coincidentally Related To Great New Idea For Game With Gruff Dad Protagonist

“I think what everyone’s crying out for right now is some kind of game where you play a father figure of some kind, possibly to a young girl… and you need to do violent stuff, really violent stuff, to protect her, which makes you strong and valid” said Phelps, staring down at his newborn daughter for no reason.

Greetings, I think I have decided on a format to try. 

Using forums to run the campaign, so there isn't the issue of trying to coordinate people with varying schedules across multiple timezone to agree on a single time to get together online.  It would allow me to also run single person sessions with more ease.

I know it's been a bit of a start and stop with things, and that is mostly my fault, due to changing jobs and work scheduling. As I now have a job that I don't intend on changing anytime soon, I know my schedule and what I have time for.

If any one is still interested, the forums are going to be located at

So

My work schedule has left little to no time for me to organize, let alone run, any sessions.  The format of Dungeons and Dragons is too time consuming for me to play it that way. 

I'm not giving up on this, but I'm thinking there has to be a better way.

I'd be willing to give someone else the reigns for DMing DnD style games, if they'd be willing to follow the established history of my world. They'd be able to contact me when they plan out their sessions for world information and things like that.

But I've also been talking with some people about the possibility of doing a format that requires me to be present less, and simply police the player's in what is and isn't allowed or right in a world.  Sort of like an RP.  There'd still be a story, and random occurrences, but they'd be determined less by random dice rolls, and more by me (or one of the moderators I'll undoubtedly need)

As in, the world would be more or less open for you to try and do what you want, and me, or a moderator, would decide what happens in your story, or answer any questions you had about the world.  Their currency, politics, anything you'd need to make decisions in game.  

I'm still drafting some basic rules, once I get some of those out, and how/where it'd be played at/on, I'll be sure to post them here.

Any thoughts on this?

I'm still working on the group sessions. They are still a thing. But I'm also considering opening up solo sessions, to help people learn the world and write characters in the world. If interested, let me know.
