Cold Turkey

There were only two titles coming to my mind this morning. First one was Vacation upcoming, the second one was Cold Turkey… If you enjoyed reading my blog so far, you might still understand that I am not someone with too much spare time and I hardly manage to get…

Temptations of Evil – Part Two: Evil in Group(s)

Evil in a Group Probably one of the strongest and (in my humble opinion) most tempting designs for a character not only you will remember is an evil one. I’ve played a few of them, (since my personal hero-playing behaviour is predominant), but always enjoyed them. The basic for a…

Pathfinder Beta shipping date

Bonefinder over at the bone scroll posted a nice little update (for me) on the supposed or expected shipping date of Pathfinder beta. Honestly – I hardly can wait to hold the book in my hands. I’ve preordered it at Planetharry – the dealer of my choice – in Vienna.…

The Temptations of Evil Part One: Seven Sins

Inspiration is everything. And rpgbloggers.com as blog-network is a great resource for inspiration it seems. With the feed online only a few hours, the mere stumbling through it – … – ah you better see it yourself. Over at Gnome-Stew, Walt posted an interesting question in his latest posting –…

Quick Gaming Update

After a nice Shadowrun Session this weekend was not very gaming heavy for me, luckily there were a few updates on other sites. E from Geeksdreamgirl has put up a nice interview with Phil the ChattyDM over here… Looks like all the guys from over-the-great-sea are caught by the GenCon…

Shadowrun Cyberpunk Imaginations

A thought on licensing (updated)

… Licenses … Thanks to Jonathan of The Core Mechanic I read a nice link to an article of livingdice.com stating that Kenzer (Producer of Kingdom of Kalamar) is launching a frontal ass ault at the GSL (license of the 4th edition D&D). With a copyright lawyer in the real…

Technical Update(s) / Plugins

Just a short sidenote – inspired by a few plugins over at ChattyDM and GeekDreamGirl I just started with the Wavatar and Commentluv plugins. I have to admit I like both pretty much. Wavatar is adding nice little avatars which are very much “generated” as a result of an md5…

Gameworlds

Ok, I have to admit not being very active with blogs lately (neither reading nor writing), but after adding a dozen of blogs to my feedreader yesterday evening and writing almost as many comments already I thought I stop writing, complaining and repeating the ultimate topic for a while (4e).…

4th Edition – Dungeons and Dragons

It’s now that I remember the days when 3rd edition came up – replacing the beloved 2nd edition with new rules, new ideas, a new flow that simply was strange to many fellow players and I do remember when dozens of them vowed to stick to the 2nd edition because…
