Day 4 - SHARE


I like sharing stuff that is important to me. 
I'm guessing that most adult RPG players are in some sort of relationships and would like to share the fun with their partners.
My wife has known some people in high school that played Warhammer but has never had much interest in playing. RPGs are the things I collect and sometimes talk about. 
There is a light at the end of that tunnel though. 

Kids on Bikes

She did express some interest in playing when I told her about Kids on Bikes (because she loves Stranger Things) and The Secrets of Cats (because she loves cats).
 
The Secrets of Cats

It almost seems like you have to do some homework and go beyond D&D to get some people interested. 
If you want to share your hobby with people from outside of it find a game about something that they like.

The Silvery Moon Tavern - review

-

Product received for free So... You meet in a tavern... This supplement from Silver Bulette   gives the DM a fully fleshed out tavern, easy to insert in any fantasy city but also a part of their  Undying Orbs Omnibus   campaign (review soon-ish to follow). The basic idea is to have a sort of headquarters, a place where the party will be coming back on a regular basis to replenish the resources and rest between the adventures. What's in the box?! The many sections of the Silvery Moon Tavern supplement give an overview of the history of the tavern hinting at some events in the outside world. There is a dozen of tavern employees described, with portraits and plot hooks involving them either by referring to their personal lives or by tying them to some events in the area. There are five adventuring parties frequenting the place - from very low level to a serious threat - that can be utilised as a friendly competition or straight up enemies. A random...

Khan of Khans - review

Stay Golden It's the Gen Con weekend and now we know.  Two Gold ENnies for " Khan of Khans " (Best family product, Best RPG related product) and they are well deserved. *le box Khaaan!  Do not pay any attention to the BGG score - the bitterness comes from people expecting a deep strategy or tactical game. This is not that at all. Khans is a simple push-your-luck family game with some tactics derived from the memory element of the game. The whole premise of the game is slightly absurd for people living in modern society - you are leading a tribe of animal riders and your goal is to procure  as many cows as possible through raiding different locations. Caaards! The game was designed by that German guy that pops up everywhere when board games are mentioned - Reiner Knizia .  Mechanically there are 10 piles of cards representing different locations in Glorantha's Dragon Pass (you may see a pattern developing here ). On your turn you draw a card ...

DAY 21 - VAST The original, old school way of playing D&D promises a vast, almost infinite world with infinite possibilities. The land that was promised But this is what you as a player might get. A lot of imagination required For many players, not always new ones, that is too much of a choice. "You can go anywhere, you can do anything". But where to go? What to do? Even with maps that present something it is usually abstracted to a degree that is difficult. Looks good to me when I analyse it a bit, but what does it tell you? This is mostly just colours ChicagoWiz's advice on both his blog and in his unfortunately defunct podcast The Dungeon Master's Handbook  was to create just three hexes . Start small, don't smother your players with choices, develop as you go depending on the events of the game, player expectations and your own ideas. The world does not need to be overly vast to feel alive.
