Ralph's INWO Page

I am an avid fan of the game Illuminati: New World Order. This page is a summary of some of the Internet resources relating to the game that I provide.

• Deck of the Week
  • I run the INWO Deck of the Week, a compendium of useful and exotic INWO decks. Send creative decks to me at <ralph@cs.cmu.edu> .
• Personal Card Commentaries
  • I've been trying to chart the fuzzy pathways of my brain, writing down combinations of cards that work well together. This is a large document of sprawling hypertext.
• A Preliminary Taxonomy of INWO Decks
  • This is an attempt to categorize and describe some large families of INWO decks.
• Pittsburgh INWO Mailing List
  • I run a mailing list for Pittsburgh INWO players. This mailing list does not replace the other lists for INWO players, like the inwo-list@io.com mailing list. It's used mostly for arranging local games, discussing house rules, and so forth. To join the list, send me e-mail (at ralph@cs.cmu.edu) and mention the ralph=inwo@cs.cmu.edu mailing list.
• INWO Consultants Page
  • I am maintaining a page listing people who are willing to be consulted for advice about INWO.
• Pittsburgh INWO House Rules
  • As of June '96, I've been trying to maintain a compilation of the house rules that we play by, where they differ from the official Steve Jackson Games rulings.
• Archives of My Own Decks
  These are some of my decks that I don't consider to be Deck Of the Week quality, They are still reasonably fun and effective, though. The writeups here provide a few hints about how to play the decks, but not the thorough guide of a good Deck of the Week writeup.
  • Hail Elvis! (Society of Assassins)
  • Bureaucratic Reorganization (Bermuda Triangle)
  • The PC Brigade (UFOs)
  • The Bible Beltane (Society of Assassins)
  • The Feast of the Resurrection of St. Bjørnë (Servants of Cthulhu)
  • Media Assassin (Bavarian Illuminati)
• Play by E-Mail INWO
  • I'd like to generate an omniscient transcript of an INWO game, in order to provide a sample game for novice players, and to provide a thorough log of a game to illuustrate and facilitate strategy discussions. The game is filled, but if you'd like to be a spectator, I'll cheerfully put you on the game list. You can also see the current public state of the game and the history of the previous game..
• Have You Seen The Fnords?
  • I have a list of all the eye-in-pyramid symbols (which I call 'fnords' that I've been able to find.
• Modified Card List Generator
  • I've slightly modified Wendell Hicken's INWO Card List Generator to a form that's somewhat more convenient to me. All credit should go to Wendell Hicken, not to me.
• The Production Spiral
  • This is an HTML-ification of an essay by Aaron Curtis, provided on the WWW at his request.
• Glen Barnett's INWO Charts
  Glen Barnett has produced charts describing the distribution of INWO cards statistically.
  • Alignments and Attributes
  • Control Arrows (charted against Alignment, Attribute, Power, Global Power, and Resistance)
  • Power, Global Power, and Resistance (charted every which way)

• The INWO home page at Illuminati Online
• Steve Jackson Games Daily Illuminator
