I have joined rpgbloggers.com today and would like to urge you to take a look there. Its a huge metasite, where all participating blogs show their feeds, newest ones first. While most blogs are D&D-centric (sigh, what else), some offer rather good and generic advice on GMing and playing. Check it out…

Some lazy links

without comments

 

Since I’m by far to lazy to create some meaningful posts, today you’ll get just a few (AMAZING!!!) links.

  • Killjoy Cooking With the Dungeons & Dragons Crowd
    It ain’t funny, its so true.
  • Denial-of-coffee attacks
    Cyberpunk NOW can make you laugh yourself to death.It used to be a joke from the netrunner i played. “Behave, Solo, or I hack your coffeemaker and you’ll reduced to drink tea!” But then, in those times a coffeemaker was 15 € and nothing fancy at all.
  • Melee-weapons: Who would think they advance in the age of guns? William Gibson talked about this one, the Wasp, in his blog. Look at it, its crazy.

PS: Sorry for yesterdays post. It was so bad I deleted it.

Gary is dead

without comments

The “cool uncle every gamer had” (as Mike Mearls put it) died. Gary Gygax died at the age of 69, way to early. He co-invented the first rpg Dungeons & Dragons in 1974 and thus was the grandfather of all rpgs – even Cyberpunk 2020. Its a sad day for every gamer.

Roll a dice in remberance today. And check out what OOTS made of it. I bet he would have liked it.

Computer Aids to Roleplaying

I found some rather nice stuff:

This post takes a break for some commercials (hopefully your adblocker won’t delete this post):

I’m not into WoW, but I do wish that Pen&Paper had such a good advertising. Mr. T would probably be able to make me buy V3.

Update: D&D + Cyberpunk = TPK?

with 51 comments

Gestern haben wir in meiner wöchentlichen D&D 3.5 Runde – wegen Meistererkrankung – Cyberpunk gespielt. Von den vier Spielern (ich hab geleitet), hatte nur einer jemals Cyberpunk gespielt, die anderen noch nie. Wir spielen seit Jahren zusammen D&D, die volle Packung. Bodenpläne, Miniaturen, Dungeons, ECL-angemessene Encounter.
Ich seh schon wie ihr fies grinst. Read the rest of this entry »

Rollenspiel-Archologie

with 2 comments

Neulich ist meine übliche Runde ausgefallen. Der anwesende Rest hat sich versammelt, um unter der Anleitung des Hofrats ein antikes Dungeon nach AD&D 1st Ed. Regeln zu spielen. Es heißt The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan, offenbar schon deshalb ein Klassiker, weil es zahllosen Boxen beigelegen hat. Neben dem oben verlinkten recht kryptischen Blogeintrag gibt es noch eine Diskussion dazu im ORK-Forum (ich bin dort unter dem Usernamen Ulath eingetragen).

Fazit: Erstaunlich, wie wenig Regeln generell zum Spielspaß beitragen. Eher dass sie wegen Unsinnigkeit (hier etwa der legendäre Thac0) zum Stocken des Spielflusses beitragen. Ein modernes System merkt man vor allem daran, dass man es nicht bemerkt… Mein Magic User/Thief Halbelf (den ich vorgefertigt erhalten habe) hat aber jedenfalls gerockt. Ich wünsche mir eine Garotte für D&D 3.5!
