| [online] DiceCast Episode 1: Character Creation Andrew.Bernstein@Polymancerstudios.Com 17:38:31 |
| |
(MONTREAL) -- The newest episode of the official Polymancer=AE Studios
podcast, DiceCast=99, is now online and available for download at
dicecast.mypodcast.com.
In this episode, the guys from Polymancer Studios discuss character
creation. Facets of character creation covered include choosing an
archetype, creating a background and backstory without going
overboard, personality; and making the character a unique, fun
challenge both for you to roleplay, for others to play alongside, and
for others to encounter.
While focused on gaming, much of the discussion is relevant to writers
of fiction too.

| [Online] New column: Why We Game by Richard Tucholka John Reiher 00:56:00 |
| | My good friend, Richard Tucholka, wrote a guest column about why people
play RPGs and other games: Why We Game. I first met Richard Tucholka
about 20 years ago at an Order of Liebowitz game night at Oakland
University in Rochester, Michigan. There I really learned the craft of
being a GM under his tutelage.
And there was being part of the crew of the ISCO Santa Barbara,
exploring the different worlds of the Time Bagel, (Which later became
the basis for Fringeworthy.) and being exposed to women gamers. At that
time, the male to female ratio at the Sunday night game at the Order of
Liebowitz was about 3 males to 1 female, unheard of at that time (1977).
So read his words of wisdom, and hopefully come away a little bit wiser.

| STAGES RPG (announcement) Keith Elder 08:50:34 |
| | A free playtest copy of the new STAGES roleplaying system can be
downloaded from:
HTTP://STAGESRPG.COM
STAGES is a universal rpg system, intended for use in a wide variety of
genres, including fantasy, science fiction, and superhero worlds.
Currently, only the playtest version is available (in pdf format), but it
is both free, and freely redistributable. I'm looking forward to any
feedback you can give (here, or at the site forums).
Also available (and free) at the STAGESRPG.COM site is a pdf book of
fantasy hex-maps, and an interactive generator to build stand-up paper
miniatures out of pictures you provide. More resources will be posted
soon.
Thank you,
Keith Elder

| Online Witchcraft RPG Kitten Koder 06:56:02 |
| | http://rpgcn.com/witchcraft
Online community style tabletop like chat game. Play for free, the
corebook is offered for free from the publishers, all you need to
play. Make a character or find other Witchcraft fans and just chat.
Play in the perpetual story line of Witchcraft in Seattle. Small Java
chat client on a secure server.
Extended:
This is played much like a table top game, though it's all processed
through the net so you can play from anywhere at any time. It will
always be free, even the game book you need to start is free, and
someday other games will be added to the network. For those who have
played the old White Wolf chats this will be familiar to you, genre
and style. Those new to table top gaming over the net it's easy to
learn and get use to. I am on a lot, and my moderators will always be
helpful. Everyone who plays will most likely help out new players find
their way through it, so just stop by, all you have to lose is a few
minutes to find out if you like it.
The Witchcraft genre is a modern day myth and magic genre with a lot
of dark horror and fantasy mixed in. The primary enemies are the mad
gods who wish to conquer or destroy the world, only those sensitive to
magic and a few of their allies stand between these dark beings and
the salvation of humanity. This is a prequel to Armageddon (the game
of the same publisher) which will eventually be added. Also anyone
familiar with All Flesh Must Be Eaten are welcome to play.

| [SR] Contacts and getting players to use them Gurth 15:15:01 |
| | My group rarely uses their contacts. For some reason they don't really
see the value of contacts in gathering information, even after me
repeatedly telling them about how contacts can and often do know stuff
about whatever it is they're investigating. The two exceptions are
fixers and deckers -- it seems they are under the impression that these
two combined can get them any information they need.
At our last game session, they were getting stuck (again, as usual) and
coming up with ever wilder plans to get information -- which usually
involve breaking in somewhere and kidnapping someone who may know. This
often eventually gets them somewhere because I don't want them to get
hopelessly stuck (which tends to lead to players not liking the game
anymore, in my experience) but I don't like the message it gives them
... Namely that you can kidnap and interrogate people _and_ get results.
Sometime soon, somebody is going to try and get revenge, I think ... 
Now, I've told them to use their contacts before, but they always look
over their list of contacts and decide that nobody except a decker
and/or fixer is likely to know anything ...  Like last session:
Me: "Who are you looking for again?"
Player: "That Nick guy."
Me: "An elf on a bike. What would that quite possibly make Nick?"
Player: "A bike ganger, I suppose?"
Me: "And do you have any contacts who might know something about bike
gangers?"
Player: "Well, I have a fixer, but you're telling us not to rely on him
too much, a smuggler, a decker to which the same applies, a medical
doctor, a prostitute, a troubleshooter, and there's a street samurai ...
I don't see how any of them would know something about this Nick."
Me: *sigh* "That prostitute might have heard of him, and so could the
street sam."
Player: "Yeah, but given the size of Seattle, what's the chance that she
happens to actually know Nick?!"
At which point I realized they are suffering from a fundamental
misunderstanding many players seem to have: that there first needs to be
an explanation, and only then do you make a dice roll. Whereas IMHO, you
can often roll the dice first and then find explanations based on the
roll. Say you rolled crap: the prostitute obviously didn't know the
biker. But what if you happen to roll four or five successes? She
obviously knows him, maybe he's even a friend of hers.
I'm hoping the message got through, but in case it didn't, does anyone
have any other tips?

Anyone seen WOTC's latest addition to the v4 ruleset? If so, thoughts?
Well, at a fairly brief look through; it's an empty, lifeless, husk
of thing, at least compared to the 3.0 FRCS. Some new plot hooks, a
little 1st level adventure, and a bunch of stuff that basically ruins any
hope of using the detailed and inspiring older material with it.
That new format of only keeping a tiny number of words on each page,
with a reduced page count, and bigger art, and so on; it's not what you
need in a world with the rich history of the Realms.
It's not just the game style they've thrown away.

| Who did not bother to switch to 4E, and why? Malachias Invictus 18:02:39 |
| | ?
I did not, because the system seems to play more like a metagamed tactical
miniatures romp with serious playtesting issues. There are other reasons,
to be sure, but little things like "the Fighter's soft shoe dance
auto-dispels the Paladin's Divine Challenge" bother the Hell out of me.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishment the scroll,
I am the Master of my fate:
I am the Captain of my soul.
