As my Christmas plates, the three-dimensional saved in the dungeon.

On Saturday I lead The Sunless Citadel in a my current D & D rounds. Preparations - connecting factors to the current game, monster stats, probably emerging issues - I mean to have behind me, when my eyes fall on a loose leaf through the adventure of a detail of the map: There are two long halls with columns. Many columns. Hm

I have been in the business game ever * experienced only drawn maps - now also known as erasable version, where can visualize what course quickly and spontaneously. The downside is that all parties tend to think only in two dimensions. Only recently fell in with the other D & D round that we all have done something difficult with the vertical elements (concerning increased positions, and ice edges in the landscape). Not only that allows vertical qualities hard to represent on a classic card, it is in a typical D & D combat situation too difficult to keep them in view and in tactical decisions involved, because it has mostly been filled his head with distance calculations and modifiers for this and that.

My idea was to tinker too fast a couple of model columns, so that will give the game a) the right feel for the area (a porch is just a very different impression than an empty, wide corridor) and b) clear to all players visible who is covered by something.

columns are now in very rare cases - and one not to be a dungeon - fully know why normal paper banned somehow. Well I got for Christmas a fancy new printer (a Canon Pixma iP4850) and thought "craft you very quickly what. "I decided to make the texture itself quickly, because I remembered that I had acquired some years ago one of the Eye Candy plug-ins for Photoshop . In short, I decided to try for marble.


The columns were then unfortunately not around, that the did not stick properly and aids such as broomsticks and flashlights do not really improve broke. I quickly put a grid on the texture and that is crafted as a square version. The adhesive . corrugated paper quite strong, but now ... in the dungeon is all not what it used to be was

Then came the next problem: these columns were so light that you had to watch them only obliquely, that they were at the other end of the table - no way feasible crowd in a round where bottle caps, cigarettes, pens, and worse the table. What to do? a foot or weight was needed, but that proved to be a real side quest ...

- cent pieces had I not enough, especially not of a kind.
- bottle caps and not because the case of beer are already 2 weeks is empty.
- Cardboard of any kind had fallen victim to the fire.
- lead sheet was hidden in some corner of the tool shed, no chance at the time.

And so on.

at first when my eyes as if by chance the Christmas plate was standing still on one of my boxes, was the (emergency) solution: hazel nuts! This useless Füllzeug that at the Christmas plate always takes up valuable space from more important things such as chocolate, was eventually to use it somehow. With a lot of glue inside choked loving, they give the column but then a lot of stability.





Will withstand the onslaught of the pillars of the heroes? We'll see.



* EDIT Paule is of course right and I am ashamed a little, the great temple of my porch forget the very first RPG round quite. Here Gibts a readable text for this and here again the image directly ug:

Mine Craft

moment I come to nothing. Two items started to rot peacefully in front of him and also reading and processing of other Rollenspielkrams somehow remains on the wayside. To a large extent the game Mine Craft is responsible for having eaten several hours of free time now. know

For all that's despite the fanfare, with the Mine Craft currently celebrated in the PC gaming press as an indie hit not know what it is: Lego for adults with minimal graphics and a Pinch of typical fantasy elements. The mixture is astonishing creative, versatile and addictive.



The world is mine Craft with a few exceptions of coarse dice, moving the player, can be edited and refined. At the beginning you start with empty hands and without any support in the cube world - experimenting and tasting is announced. From simple wood working tools you are then better stone, iron and diamond versions. The beginning of soil built cottage is replaced with versions from head stone, fired brick or obsidian. slumber in the depths of the soil abundant resources such as coal, gold, precious stones or lava.

at night and in dark caves appear monsters like zombies and skeletons that are behind the player her. Without shelters or armor, complete with a sword, you die very quickly. With a little luck you can also find hidden mini-dungeons (one gesclossener room with treasure chests and monsters) that give extra incentive to dig. Otherwise, still inhabit animals such as chickens, cows and squid, the world, behave to players but completely passive.

What now constitutes the charm of Mine Craft, is the living out of building and crafting pleasure. The castle, which had some years ago, can to rebuild as well as the block house with a garden on a desert island, you have views in a brochure. The world is big enough to provide space and resources for children for many years on a single level.

The really interesting thing is now to observe the attack, what you doing so. Things that have shaped us come to light when one stands on an almost endless playground. Although I do not know what it says about me, but this tower looks reasonably presentable at night like this (although I can still defend the Lavagraben, for as the stupid spinning burn so beautiful in it):





Existing fantasy elements, which includes the game enough, in my case, from the choice of the structures built and dug influence. While you can simply ignore armor and sword and hide from monsters, I find that the playing and benefits of these options are Mine Craft a charm, do not have the games with more complex systems. Here I must
not the legendary sword of King How-too-always chasing, I build it I simply do. The treasures in the dungeons to find elsewhere in the world, but the smoking out is fun because I can with the means to be creative in the world (who would not always play a dungeon flooded with lava, in order to make the hassle of chopping the monster?). My above-ground structures vary between hobbit caves of Mordor and towers, underground, would dwarf all shed a tear. have realized

The glass palaces and futuristic design, the other players, not tempt me, do I find the Craft Mine too rustic and not serious enough, but this may change of course, everything still.

whom I please?

"humility = to have the courage to please God!"
(Michael Utsch relief 4 / 2010)

this quote with me right now. For my being and doing I need, how well each person, every now and then a portion of recognition.

The human need for Recognition, and the resulting quest for it seems to me, however, have some drawbacks: If I do what I do to please others? Or I live, no matter whether it brings me applause, my inner conviction, my vocation?

Everyone needs recognition, but this should not dictate our actions. Where do you get

recognition and who want to please you?

(Stefan Gerber)


Recently, my wife and I as talking to a radio show about the topic " timeout instead of burnout " invited. The roughly hour-long program gives here. To show I've put together a fact sheet, which I share now here in my blog motivation. Here is the first part:

A definition and delimitation of the concept of burnout (burned) is difficult. Burnout In a long-term condition of the burnt out one is to understand. A hallmark of burnout is the impossibility of its own, internal "battery" to load. No matter what you do, the motivation will not yield easily.

Cooking Grease In Toilet?

two things

Firstly: weekend I will start with a Cleric in a round of D & D 3.5, the "build alternately derive the world together" and is the premise on which I am very excited. Hard to date is a start adventure which plays in Salt Marsh, and apart from a basic compatibility with the PHB races, the world is otherwise blank so far.

My character (link to Myth-Weavers) had after an incident in the wilderness an epiphany and believes that has never left the Traveler , to match the domains Travel and Trickery . As a mythical figure of the Traveler me very irritating (think of the Jewish legend of Cain, the eternal wanderer), while he has offered its unique selling pretty well for a few games without a permanent setting.

Now my Cleric not a Rogue, so therefore has some shortcomings with regard to secrecy and villainous; and to the personality of her be a more helpful person. His designation of the Travelers, I ask myself as a focus before the aspect of change and travel - are always on the go and where we see demand, obtain a change. Deliberately left open, I would like that the epiphany was real and even if the good is not yet a big bluff has died (and, in the third instance, if that would make up anything, if one thinks through the ideals of the traveler's times).

If you are familiar with the subject of Char-Op, which built "with the domain of human Cleric Travel" will pull up maybe an eyebrow. Aware of the suspicion, a regular in the technical sense, very powerful Character building, I can not really refute - who knows the relevant guides on the net is they recognize here. Since the issue myself Char-op but so far only theoretically interested and I've never played a somewhat optimized character, I take this opportunity to try again now and hope to have enough added their own spice to the aspect of the Travelers. Whether I succeed in everything and fits well as my Cleric in the round and the world, report I hope to be able to in a few days.


Secondly: a week later, the next part of my round expedition to the pits Demonweb is played. I shudder now about to what can and will happen if one of my players tried the remains of the Xaositects the Hive to drum spontaneously. Where - where, not really. For me an ideal opportunity to learn more things about the planescape'sche Sigil and to incorporate in the game. I'm impressed how much my players to try out the colorful backdrop of Sigil extract something and how little this probability was considered by the authors of the adventure - with a few standard phrases and Encounter will not ignore the text. But I repeat myself.

Dungeon Crawl Classics from Goodman Games

Well, it still is not dead, the OGL scene. Goodman Games taught me a lesson and tries to now, after the very successful Paizo Pathfinder, with a modified d20 game called Dungeon Crawl Classics .



The presentation of the website and the announcement (see also the Design Diary below), however, differ greatly from those that are found at Paizo - Goodman Games played here in optics and keywords clearly the wave of Retro clones, it has made in recent years the rounds of the scene.

quote the announcement:

"Open Play Test : The core rules for the DCC RPG will be released in a free, open play test in mid-2011 Watch this page for more details.."

This is obviously an attempt to build on a successful PR campaign Pathfinders with the open beta versions - and who would blame Goodman Games. An open beta is a lot of publicity within the online scene and produces reasonably educated people getting to know about the appearance of the finished product is equal to where to go.


design Diary # 1: What It Is, And What It Is not (Link to GG Forum)

"It is compatible with other GeneRally d20-derived systems."

That sounds not bad on the one, you can be hoarded d20 books so any further use. However, I am very skeptical after Pathfinder, if this statement is made, as well Paizo claimed their offspring would be compatible and he is also really only on paper - even if they use the same format for Monster Statblocks and Feats / Spells of the same name indicates the hundreds of small changes under the hood make compatibility only possible if too much time or any such inconsistencies do not matter. But this is not particularly elegant (and elegance is something that simply lack the d20 system to a large extent).

"It does not include complexities like attacks of opportunity, prestige classes, feats, or skill points."

How this statement should now unite with the above, remains a mystery to me. Especially since I Skills and Feats of essential elements of the d20 system hold. Of course, I can speculate at this time only because I like everyone else had any insights into DCC, but I wonder now whether the project is slow not only because of an OGL OGL label.

doing since in any case to an interesting development for the still young year.

punish them with kindness

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. ( The Bible )

... or as my wife likes to say: "Punish them with kindness".

Do we in our enlightened society, in a time when to do all the "world peace" at all such wisdom from the old book? Is not long ago everyone knew that lasting peace is not to obtain with the multiplication of reprisals?

know we thought that - and point the finger at the world's political hotspots, such as the Middle East.

Only: Am I really that much better than there? What if my daughter is driving to distraction? I will defeat evil with good, or rather I will not even "evil"?

This is the principle of "overcome evil with good" (or: "Punish them with kindness) not something like a fabric softener recipe a seemingly perfect world in which all are nice to each other. It is not about evil to find. Also not a cheap "forget it". And certainly not wrong not to name.

What we must learn the principle, affects less the other person, but ourselves:

• I give a conflict of power over me? I let myself from the negative feelings dominate, or I find another way?
• let myself be lured into aggression and become even aggressive? Or do I say to myself: "Stop, you do not have to get in on not getting involved up there."
• Have I the inner strength to break the downward spiral?

Whether it's foreign countries, or family members who are in conflict with each other - this biblical principle could do much to defuse. If following further aggression aggression, it quickly out of the proverbial mouse once an elephant. However, if we try to respond to evil with good, can often be a serious conflagration can be prevented.

the principle I have in family life itself, "test": If I yell back in the conflict, the chaos expands further, the mood is down and falling. If I succeed to stay calm, maybe even take my daughter in his arms to show understanding, the crying child can suddenly calm voice explaining what oppresses it. One more time: It's not about just love and to be nice. Just as a father so I will not be fooled by the children on the nose. But it's about the "weapons of aggression" with the "weapons of love" to exchange.
