    Asking myself "Why?" about gaming lately...

    I should have made myself clearer since you are right. I was recalling to the many adventures that I have bought from say WotC that are mostly about dungeon crwaling, hacking or what you may call it. I agree to what you are writing since I know that several friends of mine do game D&D without...

    What would you like to see changed for the new setting?

    Hmm... I am looking for a more light world myself having gamed HârnWorld for the past 13 years exclusively. I just bought several stuff for Kalamar, which I know claim to be different than GH and FR, but honestly compared to Hârn it is GH and FR. Which, IMO, is neither bad or tasteless. I like...

    Asking myself "Why?" about gaming lately...

    Well I know several dudes on the HârnList and the HârnForum who are over fifty, some even sixty, and they still play RPGs. Of course none of them are into dungeon kinda games, like most D&D games, but more on games where you actually roleplay more than roll dice. I am the youngest in my group...

    If I were a new publisher...

    How about kingdom, city or area modules with lots of history, current events, enemies & allies, good maps, and adventure hooks to name some ingridients. And perhaps originality? Too much of the current stuff is similar to each other.

    Starting a campaign....

    Why not let their parents, relatives or somesuch have known each other from the beginning. They are getting old, have died, retired and so on and now their legacy will be upheld by their children. Hell they may even have an old enemy who has returned for revenge and it is up to the children, the...

    DM beats the players...

    Ok people here goes again what I meant from the start. And no odd jokes, flames and such this time. What is magical about being a player? What does it for you that makes you want to be one and not a DM/GM? And vice versa of course... And do you guys/gals know of any good novels that one can get...

    DM beats the players...

    There are several GMs or storytellers rolled between all the players most of the time. At least that was what we did when we gamed Ars Magica back then. Uh... What? Respect? I did put a :D afterwards didn't I? I should perhaps have added a ;) instead. The letter wasn't anything like that at...

    DM beats the players...

    Re: Re: DM beats the players... He started it... No seriously it was out of line yes, but such strong vocabulary just needed some feedback. I will hold my tongue/fingers in check from now on. I am not sure about that other guy though... Well ever tried Ars Magica? That should answer this...

    DM beats the players...

    No I can't. I have even bothered to buy a ticket to Aussie-Land. I think I will make it around 3:00PM tomorrow outside your dumpster. Will you let me enter?

    DM beats the players...

    ... And that is why I only want to be a GM/DM in any game I decide to run. I like to be in control of things, building my stories from the ground, making sure that the campaigns I run are exactly the way I want it. I think that being in control is one of the greatest feelings in the world, and...

    Infinate or Limited Potential In Fanatsy?

    First of all I must ask if you are a moron... Nah, joking only, because I like this "close-to-flame" posts where everyone can still be mature and upheld an opinion without bursting into some sort of outrage. Rounser, odd as it may seem, I like your questioning. :p Now to what I mean... When I...

    (OT) Ars Magica

    Well yes and no actually. I would still like to have seen more maps in Ars Magica without having to delve into history books. Have a look at this medieval site that has maps created by using CC2. All the maps are set in Europe and is a small proof that even Ars Magic could spend more pages on...

    Infinate or Limited Potential In Fanatsy?

    How did you know? I bet all that D&Ding has made you a really great mind reader right? Sure it must have, otherwise you could haven't read my mind right? C'mon... That is not what I said from the start. I said that GnG does not have to be boring at all, non-heroic or deadly. Most of the GnG...

    (OT) Ars Magica

    Not at all. Did I mention that Hotz' was the one I learned my stuff from? Hotz Mythic Europe map is a poetic map which means that the sizes, distance and such are not correct. A typical map created in the middle ages if you like. What I mean by real maps are maps that have a make sense feel to...

    Photoshop mapping...

    The local maps usually take 6-12 hours to make but those that take 12 hours are always those I sell to Columbia Games for publication. The interior maps take anything from 1-4 hours depending on what detail I add. You need to know that the maps I create are for the HârnWorld RPG and they need to...
