Playdoh Game?

On Saturday night, there was a guy teaching people how to play a nifty game that involved making monsters out of playdough. The number of feet affected movement, and the number of limbs affected attacks, etc. It was wicked fun.
However, I'd like to get my hands on the rules, so that I can teach it to my friends back home properly. Does anyone know who that guy was, or where to find the rules? Apparently it was out of an old Dragon magazine, but he told me a URL that I can't recall now.
Also, whoever ninjaed my anime posters from the lobby when I accidentally left them behind makes me sad. It was only about $10 work of posters, but they were going to be gifts.
I went back this morning and went through the mountain of beanbag chairs looking for them. No luck. *sniffle*

More important, however, is the playdough game. Anyone know the rules?
Here is a link to some of its info on BoardGameGeek.com
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/9300
The game is also known as Claydonia.
The rules I was using were my own alterterations.
Each leg gives 1 handwith of movement to a max of 4.
Each arm gives 1 attack. The damage of the attack is either 1d6 for a skinny little arm, 2d6 for a medium arm or 3d6 for a large arm. Certain designs may have a 4d6 attack.
To hit you need to roll an 8 or more on 2d6. Your last attack can trigger your Special effect if you roll an 11 or 12.
We were playing that the Special effect took the place of the last attack damage but I shall change that rule next time I run it (at Orycon).
Determining the Damage rating of an arm is by concensus. Determining the damage of a special attack is by concensus as well.
Some Special effects might include:
POKE
TOSS
SLAM
SHOE
TWIST
CHOP
PUNCH
BOWL
PINCH
SCISSOR
FLICK
SPIN
or anythign else that works
Modifications can be made for differing attacks (such as some attacks needing a 9 or 10 to hit, or requiring a 12 to be rolled to activate a particularly powerful special effect).
Players all have 50 hit points. Up to 10 hit points extra can be given for exceptional craftsmanship.
Glad it was a hit. It is a fun game.

Luckily, I ended up getting "adopted" by a guy who taught me Guillotine, along with another two guys who joined us. We saw your group making stuff with playdough and rolling dice, so jumped ship on our game and went to play yours.
I was the girl in the Guild Wars t-shirt who was trying very hard to lose against the kids--and failing horribly. No one would attack my tentacle monster!
Glad I could make you happy. Thought you mentioned something about a Husband. He is a lucky guy.
Gave the kids the Play-Doh at the end of the event. Think their mom was about Clay-O-Ramad out by Sunday night. Laugh.
If you go to Orycon I hope to run it again there. Orycon is in November in Portland.
Bummers about the lost posters.
Online rules for Clay-O-Rama often have a missile ruleset. I don't like the Missile stuff, so I leave it out. They also have an attack-back rule where if you are attacked you get to counter attack. This rule is no good, so leave that out as well if you start playing with your friends.
Good Luck,
DOLPHYNN
Those kids were terribly amusing. The dark monsters that come out of the mind of a 10-year-old girl are sometimes a little astonishing. I think a couple of those were scarier than the stuff the guys were making.
Except the fairy. I thought that kid was going to melt down when her fairy princess monster got mooshed. I'm glad I'm not the one who had to wreck it.

If the US won't let you in, just form your own company. Or we can get hitched, your call.
