Hey! This is Jonathan "Buddha" Davis. My game is called Second Sight. The ingredients I used were:

Secret Ingredient:

"Write your game for an audience that's never played a role playing game before."

Other Ingredients:

* "Second"
* "Mesencephalon"
* "The game must involve a randomizer that is neither dice nor cards."
* "The game must have an explicit losing condition."

I wouldn't say my game is complete, but I think there's some good stuff in it... There's some pretty horrible organizational flaws, and the game badly needs examples, examples, examples! I also need input and suggestions and questions for clarification, so feel free to fire away (By PM, I guess, if you're not one of the judges... oh, or I could just set up a thread for my game...Duh!). Well, here we go anyway!

I think everybody's a judge, but that's still up for debate. It was suggested that everyone review at least two other games, and no one's shot that idea down yet...
Evil Twin

A mad scientist has taken genetic imprints of several ordinary people and cloned them in his laboratory. However, due to hormonal imbalances within the mesencephalon during clonal incubation...each clone is EVIL.

Those ordinary people are the players of this game.

*Each player plays him or herself, only EVIL.*

(I just uploaded a version with word wrap on, sorry about that.)

(Mesencephalon, Second, Counseling, Explicit Losing Condition)

Ha! Sounds hilarious! Downloading now...
Fragarach's Guide to The Extra-Normal

A roleplaying game about children with problems and the magical fairies that help them.

Ingredients
The rulebook must exist both in the game world and in objective reality.
No Numbers

With tenuous and prepharilal connections to the eminations from the penumbras of:
Bond
Initiated
Counseling


Please find attached also crude mockups of the Player's Page and Game Master's Page, both of which are basically required to understand the game.

I've already posted my two games, here:

and here:

They are mostly finished... I'd like to add a few more missions onto Beasts of Burden, and I'd like to do advanced rules for Oh, Crap that make it more like a real RPG, but they're ready for comments. In fact, I put together two Oh, Crap spinners today... we could play it on Thursday, if people are interested.
Yup, I mentioned your two games over here.

[off topic-ish] I think we might be doing the Mortal Coil thing, but I'd love to try out stuff on Thursday. How late do you work / how early could you feasibly get there? [/off topic-ish]
For those who will be subjected to my game, there is a prettier version I just posted here.
