Entschuldigt den freakigen Eintrag, naechstes Mal wirds wieder interessanter....!
Stefan
okay (difficult to explain but I try...)
Group of at least three people
one of them is the director, 2 are players
11:26amAnouch
lol
thks
11:26amStefan
the director has to already know a story
imagine that like a screenplay 4 a movie
he has to know the characters of the story, what happens, the enemies plus their motivation etc. etc.
11:27amAnouch
hmm ok
11:28amStefan
long story short: he has to know everything about the world the story takes place in (if he doesn't know, he can make things up)
the players are the protagonists in the story
which is why the director should think about ways to include the protagonists into his story before the game starts
11:28amAnouch
ok
11:29amStefan
director has to know the players' characters as well, their motivation, what kind of people they are
etc
that makes it easier for the director to create situations that are interesting 4 the players
11:30amAnouch
okie
11:30amStefan
EXAMPLE: the players enter a city and whitness someone raping a girl
now it is completely up to the players how they react
11:30amAnouch
okie
11:31amStefan
according to their character (it's important to distinguish between character and player) they have to do something
for instance, if they are rapers themselves, they don't give a shit - if they are noble knights, they take teh raper prisoner or whatever...
END OF EXAMPLE
Important: The players say what their chars wanna do
11:32amAnouch
ok thks
11:32amStefan
and the director tells them how the world reacts
11:32amAnouch
ok
11:32amStefan
the director can make anything happen
so you obviously don't play against each other
because the director could easily kill the chars, if he wanted to
there are rules though
the characters have abilities
Strength, constitution, dexterity, etc...
11:34amAnouch
okie
11:34amStefan
they write these abilities down on a sheet of paper, before the game starts
11:34amAnouch
wow i really thought the game was simpler
11:34amStefan
I know
it is complicated
one more thing:
You have certain abilities, that are represented by numbers in the paper
if you say: okay, I wanna climb that tree in order to see the enemies position, then the director can say:
role the dice!
11:36amAnouch
ok
11:36amStefan
and if you have a dice (?) with 20 numbers and Climbing 15, then you gotta get something that is 15 or less
(which means: the higher the number, the better your chances of succeeding)
11:38amStefan
The important thing and the most difficult thing about it is to find an equilibrium between the power of the director and the
powers of the chars
11:40amStefan
it is hard to be a good director, who creates an exciting story, who is not unfair to the players and who always reacts in a way so that the players don't feel to be forged into the directors story
(cause basically they can do whatever tehy want)
11:41amAnouch
wo
u still manage to play that in the states?
11:41amStefan
nope
my character got thrown into a parallel-dimension
so my group can continue without me for a year...
11:42amAnouch
haha
lol
how didi u get there;)
11:43amStefan
the greates evil sorcerer of all times opened a gate and threw me inside this other world, because I had robbed his magic staff (?)
don't do that, by the way....
11:43amAnouch
haha
i'll throw him first
11:43amStefan
He asked me: WHERE IS IT?
And I said: It's up Pardonas ass! (pardona is another evil character)
and then he got mad...
whatever, you should start a group
11:44amAnouch
haha
11:44amStefan
!
you can find material online
11:44amAnouch
i will try
it sounds really cool
11:45amStefan
Try 'Dungeons and Dragons' or 'The black eye'
11:45amAnouch

11:45amStefan
