Hello potential players!

If you're interested in joining, get in touch with me. If you just want to figure out what the hell this is, check out the "What Is Nomic?" label. If that doesn't explain it for you, google it. If you're curious how this specific Nomic works, check out the "initial 8 rules" label and the "summary of rules 1-8" post.

What the heck is this?

Welcome to playnomiblog.blogspot.com. This is the future home of an ongoing game of Nomic played via the means of a multi-person blog. Nomic is a strange and goofy game, akin to Blank White Cards, Fluxx, or Calvinball in that the rules continue to change as it is played. Nomic is a lot of fun, but for some reason webpages about it tend to have a very dry encyclopedic look, so you'll find no links here. Some nomics start with a bunch of complicated rules, setting up mutable and immutable rules and a complicated numbering scheme. I wanted to avoid that, but sadly the dictates of the blog medium are such that a number of things had to be put in writing.
What's the minimum rules to start a Nomic with?
A. The players are (insert names).
B. New rules pass by simple majority.
I think we'll have to modify those simple two rules with some bloggish parameters. Browse the blog to see what we've got.
