Alright, looks like the new MediaWiki site is working!
Alright, guess it is about time I started making myself useful around here...
 
== About Me ==
I first heard about the "Icehouse" pieces years ago while looking up chess variants and other chess-like games on Wikipedia. However it wasn't until last year~2011 when I read the rules for Homeworlds that I realized the full potential of thethese little pyramids and purchased my own set. This has subsequently introduced me a world of delightfully clever games which I enjoy exploring.
 
== Pyramid Game Ideas ==
I like to tinker and tweak games, therefore most of my ideas are merely mash-ups, variations, or adaptations of other games. Eventually, I shall properly play test the ideas and post the good one here (or at least those that have some potential).
I like to tinker and tweak games, therefore many of my initial ideas are merely variations or adaptations of other games. I do, however, have a couple of quasi-original ideas that am slowly refining and playtesting. Eventually, I shall post them here for others to enjoy (or not, depending on the disposition of the players and the quality of my designs).
 
== Other Contributions ==
I have spent an embarrassing amount of time reformatting and curating a set of clean & compact pyramid game rules for personal use. In spring of 2016, I finally got around to sharing them with the wider community. A list can be found on BGG [https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/208281/clean-2-column-rules-pyramid-games ''here''].
 
Building on this earlier effort, I proceeded to redesign the format to emulate the style of the official [[Pyramid Arcade]] rulebook. This updated design has been released as an optional aid for new game designers. The newest version can also be found on [https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/133925/arcade-style-rule-template ''BGG'']. Both .docx and .odt files are available. Someday I (or someone else) will get around to updating the rule format in the previous list.
