This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Design, Development, and Gameplay / ¡Aventuras Modernas! (Modern Era RPG in Spanish)
« on: April 28, 2009, 12:28:09 am »
So, I set off to write my own modern era RPG with a very old-school fashion and philosophy.

It's written in spanish, my native tongue (argentinean spanish to be precise). I hope spanish speakers/readears will enjoy it.

Here is a PREVIEW of the game:

What did you like?
What did you not like?

What would you like to see?
The rest of the game is still under development and testing.

Tips from the Pros
When I started working at Wizards of the Coast, it took a
long time before I felt comfortable running a game for any
of my coworkers, even though I used to always DM for my
friends back home. They all knew the rules better than I
did, and I didn’t want to get caught in a stupid mistake.
Eventually, I got over that. When I’m not sure of a rule, I ask
my players what they think. If I make a mistake, my players
point it out respectfully, and I reconsider my decision.
From my perspective, the DM is the person who prepares
adventures, plans a campaign, and runs the monsters and
NPCs. I don’t want to be a referee or judge, and my players
don’t expect me to.

Pen and Paper Roleplaying Games (RPGs) Discussion / I'm looking for a game where...
« on: May 05, 2008, 01:54:07 am »
...everyone is a warrior and MENTAL stats do matter in combat, a lot.

Stats that reflect shrewdness, cunning, wisdom, etc.

Any out there?

Design, Development, and Gameplay / Basic Scores
« on: May 04, 2008, 10:51:23 pm »
So, D&D (mi favorite game) uses:

STRENGTH
INTELLIGENCE
WISDOM
CONSTITUTION
DEXTERITY
CHARISMA

I'm creating an RPG of my own based on the Argentinean comic NIPPUR de LAGASH*, and I want to see many different approaches to the basic attribute scores.
You can help me by posting how is this is done in different games you know. We can discuss about it too.

Thanks beforehand,

Z.


* NIPPUR DE LAGASH (Nippur from Lagash) was a comic that boomed in the 70s in Argentina. I tells the stories of a wandering Sumerian warrior in the ancient world.
