Another step to one side from d20 systems (it is getting a bit repeating – the 3e vs. 4e discussions everywhere) so I can take a timeout to give a short overview on the upcoming afternoon today. Thomas is once again pushing us into the not-so-far future, where corporations rule most of the world, it’s…

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 world as president, I keep…
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 hash of your mail-address. So…
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). So to take myself from…
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 of it’s (in their eyes)…
Ptolus Zwischenstop und Richtungswechsel
Größere Spielrunden wie meine Ptolus Runde bieten eine Vielzahl an Möglichkeiten, alleine die Potentiale der einzelnen Spieler scheinen unerschöpflich, schwer ergründlich und gleichzeitig so unterschiedlich zueinander ein Psychologiestudent hätte seine halb-fertige Diplomarbeit nach ein paar Spieleabenden… Gleichzeitig ist es so, dass durch eine Spielrunde mit 7 Spielern zwangsläufig die Terminkoordination nicht mehr zulässt, dass man ausschließlich…
Curse of Avalon
Just in time – on saturday it’s once again Curse of Avalon time. More precisely – this time it’s a Covers of Avalon – one of the rare events when Reeh, Piratte and myself will try to captivate an audience with creative and hard-found cover versions that either inherit their song in medieval or metal…
Dante 01 and Babel (2 movie reviews)
First it started not too bad, when a friend of mine proposed the Midnight Movie at the UCI-Kinowelt in Vienna. Even the description of Dante01, did not read that bad. But in the end – it was not the best science-fiction movie out there… Dante Everything starts quite promising. We’ve the genuine theme of human…
Going Alpha
Well, it took me several years for the decision to buy a digital SLR. And it took me several² days for the choice, which one I would buy. Furthermore I think I counted 5 (partially attempted) orders, the first one was very interesting, but they didn’t have the equipment on stock all of a sudden…
My Geekquarium
We got a nice cat-TV over here, you probably have already seen the elder pictures of it – but unluckily for the fishes it tends to be rather hot during the summer months here in Austria. Especially where the aquarium stands – it is not a particularly windy spot and so we measured temperatures rising…
