Playtest with some old play-by-mail variants
Welcome to Crazy Combo, an attempt to combine 2 old variants: Para-Time Dip and Twilight Zone Dip.
https://discord.com/invite/zFfUDxanSG
Crazy Combo is meant for any number of players, but this playtest requires only 3 volunteers.

The main features are:
.3 parallel boards designed for 3 powers,
.Players play each power once,
.3 local variants (one per board),
.Units travelling between the boards through "Timespace",
.3 apparently conflicting maps per board, owned by each of the players. "Apparently conflicting" because… well, do you really think that Twilight Zones can fit in our traditional 2D maps?
.A few headaches resulting from the combination of several variants and their potentially conflicting rules,
.One of the simplest Diplomacy board variant ever designed,
.And yet the possibility to get lost on it,
.Ridiculous units icons,
.Evil Powers

If even I managed to understand the rules, anyone can… So please come and have a look around!
I'm looking for 3 players and possibly one substitute.

Can you link a picture of the map so we can see it without having to join the Discord?
Sure, you'll find a link at the end of this message, but the map is not what will help to form an opinion.
Because this game will heavily rely on rule variants (I insist on the plural), the 1st playtest uses a simplistic map to make the life of the players and of the GM less complicated that it already will be.
The 3 boards will be visually distinct (1 abstract, 1 historical, 1 fictional), but all (have to) share the same structure.
The ruleset is pretty long, I can't upload it here. Long story short: in addition to "Para-Time Dip" & "Twilight Zone Dip", applying to the 3 boards, one board will run under the variant "Chronos", another one under Double Diplomacy & FoW, and the last one under a weird rule I called "Reversi Dip".
Discord doesn't bite, it honestly takes less than one minute to log in or sign in and get a better idea of how it would look like. You can leave the server afterwards if you're not convinced.

This is super cool, and I highly recommend anyone interested to just skip the map image and start with the full ruleset that schizo posted. Reading through that helped me understand what was going on.

I think this is cool, but I don't think I'm the right guy for this. It's a little too much for me, but there will definitely be people who want to give this a go. For the right person, this seems like a fun experience.
Happy to read that.

[Speed Europa variant] moving from Burgundy to Ruhr should not be possible
Hello,

As noticed by Tyran (user ID 2518) in the game "Wolf Pack v3" (game ID 58137) armies may move from Burgundy to Ruhr and vice versa (see the Map info tab of the variant's page) while the map doesn't say that. Maps on the external variant homepage also, so I suppose it is an error in the code, not the map.

[Speed Europa variant] Check Barrents Sea adjacency
In my current game (ID=58131), it says the Barents Sea can move to Serbia (rather than Siberia)

It also lists Norway as an option, though the spaces are not adjacent on the map.

A new Cold War tournament (Nexus CW6)
Hey everybody. It was about time someone organised another cross platform Cold War tournament.

The tournament will be played wherever the players agree to play. Which means vDip will be hosting games. I have made a rule set on discord: https://discord.gg/kKnAuHN6kM - if you do not like discord I will communicate via e-mail. I will post updates here.

Great new variant - Bronze Age Diplomacy
IMHO a really great new variant with many options, constantly fluctuating balances of power, both fleets and armies with power, sensible offboard movement that makes stalemates hard.

This is a good one I think
