    Your most anticipated games of 2016?

    As I probably won't live that Long and don't have a big enough power of foresight, I can't answer you that. ;) As a compromise I can tell you that my list of games I'm looking Forward to in 2016 is extremely short as well. I tend to see what finds its way to me and check out whether it's...

    Furniture of Ages Past

    The first Thing that Comes to my mind would be the Gugel: common on medieval streets, more than rare today.

    D&D 4E 4E WotC Tools dead?

    Seems to be browser-dependent, too. It didn't work on a private Computer running SRWare Iron (un-Googled Chrome), but did so with IE on the same machine, at the same time. Curious error message, which refers to DNS Errors. Hmmh.

    D&D 4E 4E WotC Tools dead?

    So the tools have moved again. I use www.dndinsider.com, by the way, which correctly refers to the current address. The note on the login page is interesting, though: "The D&D Insider digital tools are now located here for current subscribers. The tools are not available to new subscribers at...

    Failing Forward

    Great in theory, but hard to implement in a covincing manner. The hard task is to define a fail which triggers the situation. In your example, Morrus, the party might have other ways to get through the door: the fighter may bash it down, the mage might have lots of different options. If any of...

    Finland to pay all its citizens 800 euros a month to fight unemployment

    Not necessarily so. The population of Germany, e.g., is shrinking the average age rising. The costs for maintaining the pension system and healthcare might rise until the system's breaking point while it has to be paid for by less and less people. You don't think that less pressure to work...

    Finland to pay all its citizens 800 euros a month to fight unemployment

    Depends. When stopping all manners of welfare plans and subventions, folding all into the National Basic Income, you remove the hight costs incurred by managing and administering these programs. Companies would be able to pay their employees less than now without these employees receiving less...

    What's your Kickstarter success rate?

    I have backed only one, the notorious Appendix N by Brave Halfling Publishing. According to my reckoning I should have received seven physical goods more than two years ago. John Adams delivered several PDFs over the years. Last Saturday, one item appeared in my mailbox. Technically the...

    Of cheese sammiches

    Gues the English Wikipedia entry makes it pretty clear what I'm talking about. B-) German bakers rule!

    You mean Bavarian barbarians or barbarian Bavarians?

    Of cheese sammiches

    Oh you uncivilised people, trying to save what ridiculous dough products you call "bread" from their deserved fate by toasting or baking it! Just take a slice of good German bread from the next baker's, apply some fresh butter and any sort of tasty quality cooked/smoked/fresh/dry sausage or...

    Symbaroum: A Dark Swedish RPG Being Translated To English

    Ah, that's great to hear! I'll be sure to follow Prometheus Games' development, though the first message I found was a shift from spring to summer next year.

    Symbaroum: A Dark Swedish RPG Being Translated To English

    This looks and reads pretty cool! Maybe I can waive my "you already have enough RPG systems you'll probably never play" rule for Symbaroum. I gather you don't have a German translation planned?

    A VR application where my Avatar joins those of other players in order to play a game of make-believe? Sorry, I fail to see the attraction. :confused:

    Reconciling Damage

    I actually don't understand your idea of a goal. You say "often decaptiating you", but are there different goals and you (or the enemy) may selct one? What influence would the goal have on your damage mechanic?
