Denis! @Gorgmorg@tabletop.social

Hey!

I‘m from Germany and I‘ve been playing RPGs for many years - over 20, I guess.

I love to write my own modules, and I am looking forward to try new worlds, new systems and just have fun with great people.

New stuff and OSR and some D&D, too. #introduction

Borderlands & Beyond. Chaosium was selling this books from the old Moon Design Glorantha Classics line for a 40% discount, so after hearing so many good things about it on the Vintage RPG podcast, I got this paperback. Of course this is a classic and what we have here is a nice reprint, with clean text and good paper quality. I have some minor issues with some pixelated art and the blurry cover reproduction, which could have used a higher res scan. Still very playable. #ttrpg #runequest #pnpde

I love this beautiful RuneQuest Starter Set. So much stuff for 30$ and they obviously put a lot of thought into this. #tabletop #ttrpg

Well, I finally got the (very) limited edition of #Runequest Glorantha and yes, I am quite happy with how this one turned out. This may be a collector’s edition, but I’ll be very happy to play this game, too: I may have very sentimental feelings for RQ and Glorantha in particular, but this is actually a very nice version of the classic game. #ttrpg #runequest #tabletop

I discovered that I really like RPG books in smaller formats like Whitehack or – as shown here – „Warlock!“ by Greg Saunders/Fire Ruby designs. Apart from being cute and short, these are very light rules for a more 80s-brit-fantasy gaming experience, with a career system very much like WHFRP. This is using a D20 though.
This very versatile ruleset and also quite charming, content-wise – I really like this and plan to use it soon-ish. #ttrpg #tabletop

I finally tried out Whitehack 3E as a player and I am happy to report that… it just worked really well. Even the stuff I thought could be a bit hard to explain to players – stuff worked, with the notable exception of the auction mechanic, which too some time to implement well. BUT: players just loved that in the end, too. This could well be my future go-to old school ruleset for non-DCC stuff. #ttprg #rpg #tabletop

I am very much looking forward to the release of WhiteHack 3e next month and I’ll probable use it for my non-DCC old school needs. Does anyone here have some experience with the older editions in a longer running campaigns? #tabletop #tabletop #rpg #ttrpg

So, took a bit of a time out from social media and #ttrpg too - these are tiring times, as you know. I think I am back, though!

I almost always feel a bit anxious about publishing stuff in an established world/setting. Perhaps some of you can relate – I think the relative lack of elaborate game worlds is one of the reasons for the OSR/old school community's high productivity and some of their often very creative ideas. On the other hand, I really love fantastic worlds – of COURSE I want to set something in Lankhmar, on the Dying Earth or Glorantha. But I want to do it right. Stuff is complicated, folks! 🤣 #tabletop

BUT the new and second issue of our german-language DCC Zine will be out for SPIEL digital in October or so – I wrote a lengthy module for that and I am hoping some folks will like it. I'll post more info and cover art when we get closer.

A little bit too tired to write anything worthwhile or GM well – I really need some time off work and I'll get it later this month. IF everything works out the way I planned it. Well…

Hey, are you still here? I took a really deep dive into gloranthan lore and oh yes, I loved every second. #tabletop #glorantha #runequest

I just finished and pressed „send mail“ for three projects I have been working on for some time. There is this great feeling of accomplishment, just short of holding a published, printed piece in your hand – but it is also so very scary. What if this is just not good at all? Anyway, we’ll see. #tabletop #writing

I could never settle on just one rule system forever. When I’ve played strory games for a while, I want to go old school. After I did some old school stuff, I just might go for a deep, long traditional campaign. Is it just me?
