A bit belated, but here’s a quick run down of what D101 is upto in 2011.

Wombat
The rules for Monkey were originally a fork of a system that I call Wombat, which used a single D6 as a randomiser instead of cards.  Now that Monkey is out and about, I’m working on Wombat to make it into a light weight rules-wise but immersive play-wise story telling game, that I can use as a quick in-house system for a variety of ideas I have. Currently in Alpha, but aiming for a October (Furnace release).
