One minute, you are sitting comfortably in your homes. The next, you are standing in the middle of a massive circular room with a high vaulted ceiling, stone walls, and cobblestone floors. The walls are riddled with wooden plank doors with metal frames, each inscribed with the name of a different Adventurer. And so the adventure begins…
BlogNomic is an online Nomic: a self-modifying game where changing the rules is part of the game. Players make blog posts proposing additions or alterations to the ruleset, discussing and casting votes in the comments: if enough vote in favour, the rules are changed and play continues.
The game has been running since 2003 and resets every month or so. New players are always welcome and can join in at any time.
BlogNomic is powered by pMachine ExpressionEngine.

Amnistar:
Amnistar sits in the corner of the tavern eyeing the patrons. He’d escaped from prison only a few days ago and it was likely that the guards were still looking for him.
It’s not his fault he attacked the King. The king was wearing a red hat on Sabbath, and red hats on sabbath are a sign of Dark Forces.
That’s what the voices told him at least.
Yoda:
Since I am currently unable to make proposals (thanks, clucky), can someone please make a proposal that sets up a wiki page for Adventurers to keep their descriptions and future skill levels?
Amnistar:
Perhaps call it…character sheets?
Clucky:
Thank yourself Yoda. I didn’t write the rule, you did. Not my fault you can’t write a clearer rule.
Amnistar:
Lol. Friendly game guys :)
arthexis:
Arthexis is a Wizard. Rejoice.
Amnistar:
Is he perhaps…a Lizard Wizard?
Darknight:
i’ll be a cleric. that way i can not heal that what be evil. *cough*rodlen*cough*
Darknight:
plus i’ll open my door too lol
Yoda:
Please pm me if you wish to open your door or take some other action.
Oze:
Will all of the action of this Dynasty take place in PMs?
Yoda:
No, occasionally I will choose to reveal some actions, such as this one:
Rodlen, Darknight, Amnistar, and Oze are seen standing in front of their doors. Rodlen, Darknight, and Oze seem to be somewhat confused and befuddled while Amnistar seems to be just standing there staring at the door.
Yoda:
Clucky is also seen standing there staring at his door.
Yoda:
Amnistar walks through his door. He is the first adventurer to complete this task.
Clucky:
Apparently I’m supposed to tell you guys stuff…
if you are having trouble getting passed the door, I’d suggest looking closer at things. You might not have seen everything at first glance. =)
Yoda:
Clucky also walks through his door.
Chivalrybean:
I float around a bit until I figure out what it going on.
Yoda:
Darknight walks through his door.
Yoda:
Rodlen walks through his door.
Yoda:
Let me just say this one thing:
Please stop trying to go through other people’s doors. It will not work even if that person has already gone through their door because the door closes behind them.
Rodlen:
Yoda, may you please update our test results on the GNDT?
Yoda:
Sure, I was kinda waiting to propose getting skill points when you pass the test, but I guess I can just add that to the proposal.
Yoda:
Done.
Clucky:
Like I said guys look closer. Everything you need is right on your door, you just might not see it at first glance.
Bucky:
I have yet to successfully look at my door.
Darknight:
Think as this as looking at the fine print on paper
Yoda:
A low, rumbling noise is heard, the ground begins to shake, and the whole room is filled with an earthshatteringly baratone, booming noise. The noise suddenly stops and you look up just to see Chivalrybean flying up near the ceiling laughing hysterically. =D
Yoda:
Dustin walks through his door.
Yoda:
As Dustin walks through his door, Bucky runs up to try to follow him through, but the door slams shut on Bucky’s little gnome foot. He tries to contain his agony, but just can’t help letting out a cry of pain as he pulls his foot out from the door.
Yoda:
I am going to go ahead and unsticky this post. I have put a link to this page from the Quest Journal for those who have not completed it yet.
Yoda:
Chivalrybean walks through his door.
Yoda:
Oze and Devenger walk through their doors.
Yoda:
Bucky walks through his door.
