Text of the page (random words):
in flavor with some of it s spells i would like to make my campaign s witches and warlocks something sinister and occult and downright scary so i would give them a combination of mostly necromancy and nature spells both areas actually kind of fit together if one thinks about it death always is part of nature and i would like them to be able to curse somebody that is atually an idea which i again kind if gleamed from dsa cursing in hot blood now i don t know exactly how that was solved in the earlier editions of good old dsa i really was only using the very most basic starter rules of 1st and 3rd edition and then later the arcane complete ruleset that was 4th edition the basic idea is that if a witch is enraged enough her blood is boiling so to speak she can with less effort than usual put a curse on somebody think about this a witch gets driven out of a village by the local populace she is furios as hell and curses the town so all the crops around her start to wither and die or the local watersource gets spoiled that basically is the idea i had and i guess it s actually pretty easy to do if one takes into account that old rule about clerics they can drop a spell they prayed for and replace it with a healing spell if they need it now let s see cursing in hot blood if enraged enough by something someone the magic user can drop any spell he learned for the day and replace it with one from the list of curses the curse must be of the same or lower level a special list of curses would have to be written for that sort of thing a list of spells to use in case of cursing it might be a bit overpowered though actually no it for sure would be overpowered especially in mid level range the ability to just drop and replace spells might be a complete gamebreaker so how to concile this one special ability with the magic user without totally debasing it from the coherent class system the solution i came up with so far would be even more in tone with the class a corruption table one does not wield wild magic like that without the magic doing something to one s self maybe some madness maybe some physical corruption i m not really happy with it so far i don t really want to drag out the mutant future mutation table that would be overdoing it a bit but i would like my witches to have that ability to curse someone written by g neuner 2 march 2010 at 4 39 pm posted in games roleplaying tagged with campaign class dnd labyrinth lord magic rpg warlock witch why is swearing in german so damn hard leave a comment the new wonderella comic actually manages to get german swearing right consider me impressed it s only one word but seeing how many non german writers ever manage anything close it is quite an achievement i always wondered about that not really that many people seem to know even the most basic swear words in german even though everybody knows some in spanish or french which is even worse because germans are well potty mouthed would be lacking as a description we hardly go by in any talk without using words that would cause an uproar in american media ¹ i guess there is a bit of a cultural thing going on here together with some linguistical quirk you know swear words are not swearing in german so even from a deeply christian point of view which often is used against it in english speaking countries the no swearing commandment in the bible if we are using foul language it s not actually touching any religious feelings in most cases there are some words like gottverdammt god damn it which would be but those hardly are the morst poignant or popular ones they actually are considered quite mild of course it is the most deeply catholic part of germany southern bavaria which loves to use these words in speech on the other hand this is considered ethnical identity nowadays everybody expects them to behave like that so they actually get free passes on insult charges if they use those seriously using bad language is part of the bavarian national identity so why is it actually so hard to get a few words right we swear all the time and yet every time there are some aggravated germans in any medium it s always schweinhund even worse writers don t seem to notice that this the word is not even grammatically correct it would be schweinehund but yeah i know german is hard no that word is not really used in german that much actually it s not used at all one could say it s one of the aforementioned bavarian quirks it could be used to insult but generally it s more used as an endearment yes i know how weird that sounds i might sound strange but sometimes i just wish people would take one or two minutes to actually research their stuff it s not that hard the thing is just every single time germans appear on the screen in foreign media they might be presented badly they might be assholes and nazis and for some strange reason they re also all blonde but i just can t see them as germans i m not even insulted by presentations of germans anymore i don t understand the most basic sentences they wharrgarrbl on the screen because it is so hard to find any german to write you a few basic sentences for your multi million dollar script i don t even recognize their most basic utterances they are from some mythical quasi european country with a language that sounds sorta like dutch just without any proper ch in there ¹ to be fair america is a nation that still talks about seeing one nipple for a split second six years ago but they do have the world s largest porn industry written by g neuner 27

labyrinth lord rpg loopholes leave a comment fare dodging is one of these small offenses that many people in germany don t find that bad at all all excuses aside and there are a lot of them around everybody always tries to reason away this actually being wrong the reason for the increased amount of fare dodgers might come with the insane amount of money privatized public transport is demanding lately so of course some people get a bit creative when trying to dodge fares without getting punished for that one case that has just gotten out of courts actually had a fascinating reasoning behind it the legal terminology for dodging fares in german law is leistungserscheichung which might be translated as obtaining something surreptitiously now everybody always was kind of sure that meant any kind of fare dodging after all if you were going to dodge a fare was there any way but doing it well in secret surreptitiously as the dictionary says turns out yes technically there is a way seeking refuge in audacity tell the conductor beforehand that you are going to go without a ticket show openly that you are not paying and still ride the train that theory was put to test in court a few days ago one guy decided to try the idea and rode on the subway wearing a t shirt saying ich fahre schwarz i m fare dodging and then tried to take it to the court when he got caught he lost though the nice idea aside the court said but just wearing the shirt was not enough the conductors said they didn t even notice it but he would have had to tell the ticket vendor at the station and the conductor when he boarded the train then of course he could have used the train without paying the fare if both of them had let him do that at least which they were pretty unlikely to do so the reasoning obviously was valid he would have been allowed to ride without paying if only but the execution was flawed written by g neuner 26 february 2010 at 12 21 am posted in odd travel tagged with audacity germany law public transport under oak hill with 9 comments my entry for the one page dungeon contest 2010 a small module taking a group of low to mid level characters through a cave system i noticed during writing this little dungeon how used i am as a referee still thinking in dsa s terms where others would have put in a lot of weird and uncommon monsters more my enemies are a bit more mundane if one can call undead bears mundane also the sheer mass of creatures is showing the d d this design paradigm is normal for the dark eye as most gamemasters notice pretty soon how hard it is to write extraordinary creatures and plots without completely breaking the whole setting i kept myself mostly to usual fantasy fare with the monsters in that module a few were not in the labyrinth lord basic rules which i used as reference that won t matter i will post writeups on those the next few days the map was created with dungeon crafter v1 4 1 the free one then finished off in gimp i noticed that at least when using it under wine i cannot turn tiles in dungeon crafter or even save a map for reasons unknown so the mapping took longer than i planned and still is lacking something anybody got a

something entirely else really actually i should be finishing the last few things for my ma but what do i do writing an one page dungeon for the uninitiated dungeons are the natural habitat of player characters and monsters for some reason the best and easiest setting to set roleplaying games in was and is an underground lair or something like that room after room of monsters treasures and traps yay adventure moria for all for some reason rpgs never really managed to get away from those and in many cases they never really tried there is a reason the most famous rpg is called dungeons dragons retroclones as mentioned before try to emulate a lot of those old times and dungeons are a big part of that so it comes as kind of a surprise that they with that actually are embracing a special sort dungeons treating dungeons as a sort of art form dungeons limited to one page only with map and everything ¹ how much story and adventure can one relate on only one page a lot building a dungeon becomes minimalistic art short sentences only the most needed of comments and the dungeon s map as part of this storytelling is it a 70s style tsr blue dungeon is it handdrawn what s on the map what isn t and so these dungeons can range from bad to good and sometimes they move into sheer excellency look at this guys opds for example so why the sudden interest in this kind of dungeon the one page dungeon contest 2010 has it s submission date this weekend and i want to take part i would have liked to playtest the dungeon before handing it in but well that will have to wait until next week or so

labyrinth lord is original dungeons and dragons with serial numbers filed off it seems that wizards of the coast by open sourcing their game mechanics in the early 2000s also opened them up to be retrocloned to older rulesets that were not part of the original deal and so ll has nearly everything a group needs to play as if it was 1977 the word is retrogaming and it has been rather popular lately mostly carried by guys who have been d d rpg players in the first years of the hobby and there is more to that little part of the hobby than only labyrinth lord with it s evocation of 1970s 80s fanzine quality sword wizardry tries to evoke the aura of even earlier sets of d d osric tries to be ad d 1st ed mutant future tries to be gamma world now i m obviously not part of that age group that seems to be so fascinated by those old school games not as much as those people in their 40s and 50s are who played d d back when it was fresh and new i m not even close to that my first experience with roleplaying games came in the mid 90s with germany s very own das schwarze auge the dark eye although i can relate to them desiring simpler and faster rules than what is current now the new version of d d 4th edition appears to me a as a bloated overdone try to rip off world of warcraft even the 3rd edition which i used for a long time and had lots of fun with always appeared to me as overly complicated maybe the reason for that was that the first time i played dsa back then i was using the beginner¹ rules which were the rules of it s 1st edition fast easy and a lot of fun they had their very own problems but i never lost the feeling that roleplaying games should be played like that fast and loose story over rules a quick decision in favor of hour long battles on the other hand there is a certain dogmatism in the retrogaming community as much fun as playing the old games just like they were played 30 years back might be many of those adherents to the old school also want something else reliving the old days and so they try to simulate the old times as closely as possible why am i putting that much thought into this because i plan to use ll for some games that s why it turns out that there are a few people interested in playing pen paper roleplaying games i haven t really played for years now but let s see if i still got it ¹ and lo there actually is a retroclone of
