Engle Matrix Games
Posted 21 Feb 2001
I quite like using Engle Matrix Games as the framework for a campaign. I've run a few one day campaigns using this system and it works really well. It can also work for more long term campaigns. There are other uses.
The essence of Engle Matrix Games is that they allow you to do whatever you want to, so long as you can make a logical argument. The "Matrix" of the title is really just your mental picture of what the game world is. It is by definition incomplete! We never know much about what is going on around us. Fortunately our brains solve this for us by automatically imposing order on what we see, and potently the players can proactively change the nature of the matrix by offering arguments.
