Altair is just another loudmouth to me. Indeed, I was too poor to get that running on PC, Assassins Creed 1&2 were beyond me. Sadly I thought that a problem, playing that linear screen-shaker with ... if crusaders would be THAT EASY to kill, then the crusades would have not happened, because...

GM is Satan? I lately read neither god nor stan exist, as science moans. I am outdated, yet the rules for villain design in D&D 3.5 "Heroes of Horror" and "Book of Vile Darkness" were actually quite good. The last decade it was just "common" that incapable GMs blamed all but their...

Hello! Are Silent Hill and Resident Evil series horror or just "put in horror graphics"? Maybe we should ask HOW we could make better horror instead of hoping that those officials who failed again&again get it done?

Extra Punctuation: The Common Mistakes of Horror Games. From my perspective there are some mistakes, formally known as officials, too. 1.) The attempt to legitimate the own mental disorders by being the protagonist in something declared horror, which actually isn't. 2.) The claim that...

Extra Punctuation: Boss Fights. Thanks for your quite nice article on the topic. I agree to the GM aspect. IF one allows non-fighter characters there must be non-fighter solutions for ALL steps in the adventure/campaign/PCGame!!! The other side... overdose of classes and solutions which make...

Hello! Actually our own group was a D&D cult from the start. When I, as author, openly published about playing protagonists from, back then, Book of Vile Darkness and Lords of Madness... some peoples lack of system knowledge just made them call me a spooky freak instead... GMwise: By system...

Hey Bran... what you call lame could be a blessing. I actually had one dungeon level before my players offered to ... end my vital functions as a merciful step... We played venturing through the worlds, a ruin to explore yes, designing a world to instantly hide in some extended cellar for...

Hello Keava. WoD is the topic. I am old enough to agree, yet lets all decide for themselves is my spirit. Hm... If you ever have time, could you check in my "Ship of Fools" at http://scribd.com/pauper ? I used old, TSR given free Ravenloft to make it into WoD, because I swear, I found it...

I am OLD WoD because nobody I ever met, even long-range, was dumb enough, to invest into "NEW" WoD after Vampire-The Requiem was a poorly pseudo-therapeutical approach to what the authors, not the roleplayers, seemed to claim the roleplayers self-pity and ego-problems. Insultive assumptions...

Sartan0 on WoD: I think Wite Wolf made the mistake of betraying their old customers to please the younger ones... they split their market share and wasted their welcome and reputation from a lot of peoples perspective... even from people who did a damn lot of quality community work... it is...

Lure back old players? Invite back sounds good, too. I still like the artwork and potential of D&D. I just could swear that officials make the worst of it. Being older I dislike certain moves, legitimate or not. Monte Cook gets faked a leading "maker"... I read 90% of that in original TSR...

D&D is the Apocalypse: In Humor: "Not really, you just didn't find out from whom they plagiarized that one..." Thanks for your article, I found it detailed yet not of my opinion. I want to play fantasy, not development-rpg and if I want another setting I take or write another RPG for it...
