Time for another #introduction :

So hi everyone, I've been posting #rpg related stuff over on dice.camp and on reddit for quite a while now, decided to move here with a brandnew handle, yay.

I'm GMing a face to face campaign of original #dnd in #hamburg (germany) for almost three years now, interested in all things #osr , but there's also quite a bit of #fate and #gurps on my bookshelf 😉

husband, father, family physician and boats enthusiast when not gaming.

@Judd noble rider of dragons, listening to your reply - nay challenge! to Andy Goodman gave me a good laugh! Whoever will be your second shall feel honoured!

Thanks for your awesome podcast btw. I've been a quiet listener for quite some time already ...

So, I'm thinking about a way to loosely define NPCs in a system neutral #rpg supplement.

So far each NPC has three categories to describe "Appearance", "Motivation" and "Traits".

Now the fourth category I'm thinking about should contain things the NPC might have or could provide: anything from simple treasure to dark secrets and information the PCs are looking for. What would be a good one word title for this category? "Assets" maybe?

Don't know why I learned about Dorkness Rising only yesterday ... so if a low budget but non the less brilliantly hilarious take on #dnd dungeon delving is your thing:

@Tealk hattest Du Dir Stätten der Verdammnis eigentlich mal angeguckt?

Leute, hier gibts Wanderer Bills Old-School Rollenspiel Sprüchesammlung:

Ich warte noch einen Testdruck ab und würde sie dann demnächst auch als Print on Demand zum Selbstkostenpreis verfügbar machen.

Würde mich über Fragen, Kommentare jeder Art freuen ;-)

6 mile hexes are huge, it takes about 5 minutes driving at highway speed to cross one hex ...

"Unless [the hook] contains a true choice, you can skip it, jump right into the action [...]"
-- Christian Mehrstam, Whitehack

"A good referee gives the players interesting choices to make and ensures that these choices have a meaningful impact on the game."
-- Chris McDowall, Into the Odd

So @mamadm @presgas what do you guys think, how should we start the "Wilderness Hexplore Revamped" project? A markdown file on github or somewhere else, or start out with a shared google doc 😬 ?

I asked Jed if he wants to join the effort, too. In any case he'll be credited original author ...

@mamadm welcome to the #fediverse !

@presgas I almost think I remember you writing something about being an instigator ;-)

Guess we should get this moving, we might even end up with a crowd sourced floss printable hex crawl generator 😅

My interest in rpgs developes in phases: there's the #gurps phase, the #traveller phase, and there used to be a #fate phase too. Right now I'm happily in the #osr phase once again.

I even plan with these phases in mind. When I find something interesting for gurps right now, I put it aside, knowing the next gurps phase will be there eventually.

Now I just hope my osr phase will last until we pick up our od&d game once more 😅
