Online Megagames!

During the Covid-19 pandemic, several designers and partners of the Megagame Coalition are adapted their designs to online formats (or launched new designs) using a suite of online communication tools!

Since the pandemic has eased, most designers have pivoted back towards in-person events, but online megagames were proven both viable and fun! Our associate organization, the Online Megagame Group (OMEGA), still plans and launches several online megagames per year (check them out!).

 If you have an online megagame design that you’d think we’d find cool, let the whole community know about it by posting on our Discord server!

Below are some of the events we organized during the pandemic, preserved for posterity. Check out OMEGA or ask around the MGC Discord Server for ongoing online megagame initiatives! You can also sign up for our listserv for passive updates.

OWL League

(Occult & Witchcraft Ludomancy League)

The Ministry of Magic’s Games & Petrology Department has officially fast tracked the start of the Occult & Witchcraft in Ludomancy League for the Summer of 2020. The OWL League is the premiere destination for players and spectators of the game Ludomancy.

18 former amateur Ludomancy athletic clubs have been selected to compete for magical greatness. The arrangements have been made: the sponsors have been aligned, the stadiums built, and rules finalized-ish! Can you and up to two friends lead one of these rag-tag franchises to magical gaming glory?

Den of Wolves

In this Battlestar Galatica-inspired megagame, a small fleet of interstellar vessels tries to survive while maintaining civil society, fending off a military threat from without and infighting from within.

It is the 27th Century, and freedom is under attack. The inhabitants of Wolf 1061C have ambushed and defeated all the fleets of the Old and New Nations of Earth, except for the Aegis, a lone battlecruiser, and its jumbled armada of mostly civilian vessels, drawn to the narrow band of safety the Aegis provides. That fleet, home to thousands and the Interstellar Council-in-Exile, must survive. Can you make the difficult political, military, and logistical choices to weather this long-term crisis?

Players will take on the roles of starship captains, politicians, and others trying to see the fleet through this harrowing time. The game has a focus on managing resources, as well as various units and assets – however, talking and negotiating with other players in a high stress environment will be crucial in order to achieve success. And one must always be on the lookout for The Wolf within.

Previously announced as an online megagame was “One Dead Archduke”.  Unfortunately, that design has been shelved due to doubts about it’s feasibility. Click here to read more about the design and why it was shelved.
