I've decided to house a guild for Session Based Games from my member's account. Session Based Games is a Guild for the players and developers who like games that can be played in short sessions. Short is a subjective word, and could mean the 2min sessions of Plunder Gnome, or the 45min sessions of Faction Wars. These games require little commitment, and lots of fun; this is in contrast to long term games like RPGs, where the user must make a large commitment of time in order to enjoy many aspects of the game. Session based games also generally provide a definite end, announcing who just won the game of Mano a Mano, and that everyone is now free to leave, or stick around for another session.

The guild is in place to help promote these games, and to facilitate the interaction of players interested in playing them. Session based games, unlike RPGs, generally arn't hosted all the time, so they fall out of the public eye and it's hard to find other people to play with. It's my hope that the guild will provide a large player base that you can draw on when trying to find your next opponant in Breakthrough.

Please introduce yourself on the forum, tell us about the games you like to play, and tell us what instant messenger programs (or the BYOND pager) we can use to invite you to sessions of those games. Feel free to post on the forums to set up sessions of your favorite games, or to contact other players. This guild is here to help you, the casual player, have fun whenever you have a half-hour to devote to your favorite game.

Thanks for your interest!

To celebrate the creation of the guild, consider joining the phenominal Mano a Mano, by Flick. I'll see you there. :)
