SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Any of you guys still play wargames?

In addition to Dunnigan's book, off the top of my head I'd recommend a visit to  Alan Emrich's Principles of Game Design.

Seconded.

Thirded!  Great link, Elliot.

Another book I could recommend is Wargame Design written by the staff of Strategy & Tactics magazine in the glory days.  I also enjoyed a neat little book called Pentagon Games by John Prados which covers how wargaming impacted the American military establishment.

Thanks for the pointer to Pentagon Games, Good Assyrian.  I was aware of the other books and sites mentioned, but not this one.
For fuck\'s sake, these are games, people.

And no one gives a fuck about your ignore list.
