Initial Description and Mission Statement

"A partial-suspension of fine and diverse RPG sediment"

Sludge:
  • mud, mire, ooze, slime, slush or similar mixture
  • fine, broken, half-formed sea ice
  • the semisolid material precipitated by sewage treatment
  • any thick, viscous matter
Pit:
  • a naturally-occurring or excavated hollow, hole, well, or recess
  • a sunken enclosure for staging fights, especially between animals
  • the side of a racing track used for refueling and servicing cars
  • the stone at the center of a fruit


The Sludge Pit shall contain the following info:
  • Game play-session summaries/plots, especially for plot-lines that don't have a home of their own.
  • Reflection on Zludge design issues, including play-testing notes
  • Reviews of other RPGs, especially free and indie systems
  • Jotted notes for game mechanic ideas that don't have a home yet
  • Game-mastering lessons and reflections
  • Discussion of RPG theory (with an eye to perhaps making this an academic endeavor someday)
