Cosmere Codenames (resurrected) (resurrected)
Doomstick posted a topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
I have fond memories of playing this game, and it appears that both the original thread and the resurrected thread have died, so I have created this one! If you don't know how to play or don't know how it translates to a forum game, the original thread by Herowannabe should tell you all you need to know. We'll start by playing with random pages filling the board, but if we want we can start doing themes, images, or even noncosmere codenames! I will be the first Blue Spymaster, whoever wants to be the Red Spymaster, claim it in this thread, then I'll PM you with our keycard (there's a link to a random keycard generator in the board sheet). The Game Board -
So in my family we love the game Codenames, and I got to thinking how fun it would be to play a Brandon Sanderson themed version. And then it occurred to me, why not adapt it to play on the forums? Should be easy enough, so let’s take a crack at it, yeah? As for the nitty gritty: I’ve never played Codenames, what is it? Okay, I get how to play, but how are we going to Sanderson-ize it? Will there be spoilers for any of Brandon's books? Short Answer: Very Possibly. Play at your own risk! Long Answer: the codenames used in each game will not contain any spoilers for any of the books. However, they will be linked to their respective coppermind wiki entries, which can contain spoilers for Brandon's books. Also, I can't guarantee that the clues that the spymasters give and/or the teams' discussions won't contain spoilers. Again, Play at your own risk! I will try to post at the start of each game which of Brandon's books the codenames are drawn from for that game, so you can know if you need to avoid a particular game. How are we going to make this work on the forum? What if I want to take a turn being a Spymaster? EDIT 2/5/2018: I have updated this post with the rules we have settled on after a couple of games. So far everything seems to be working smoothly, and people seem to be enjoying it. So if you'd like to play, just reply to this thread and say so! Also, I have edited the next post to include quick links to the first post of each of the games played so far, and I will continue to keep the list updated as time goes on. Feel free to skim over any previous games if you wish to see how they played out, or jump straight to the first post of the current game. For posterities' sake, this spoiler box contains the rest of the text from the original post:
