Does anyone know anything about this? It sounds really interesting but the price is a bit of a risk to take a punt on a designer I've never heard of. Especially as the promotional video is in French...
I have a new parlour LARP up, The Spoils of Evil.
It's a comedy game about what the Dark Overlords do when the forces of good are defeated.
Contains:
Full briefs for 7-9 PCs.
A custom built world.
A really really really good map by MelaineMaps which I attach because of how pretty it is...
Introduction
This is something of a companion to the discussion thread here. It's a review based on a readthrough although I hope to get it to the table at some point.
It's always somewhat difficult with a new edition to make the review relevant both to newcomers and fans of the newer edition...

Small number but very high quality. Really good UI. Mostly but not exclusively 2 players.
Alternate Title: Where I agree repeatedly with Ron Edwards (it's a Christmas miracle!)
I've been having some thoughts about the concept of RPG immersion and they might make an interesting starting point for discussion.
I'm going to start with a truism that I don't think anywayone is likely to...

Reports are coming in that the Frontier Regiment is having a hard time at the front with lots of casualties.
Martin de Hautemer has joined the Royal Foot Guards as a Private.

If people think of UK roleplaying magazines they generally think of White Dwarf or possibly Imagine. But there's another magazine fondly remembered by Britgrogs of a certain generation.
It's second or even third wave of British roleplaying running from September 1988 to March 1990. It only ran...
For all your toadying, insults etc.
If people want to put character bios in here I'll sticky them and you can update them as the story :p of your PC develops.
The other main use is for announcements. Please put anything you're applying for etc. in here (if you can spend influence on it, it...

Anybody else is free to jump in, now or at any time during the game; this isn't a game where everyone needs to start at the same time.
Just a few things to decide which I'd like feedback...
We've had some discussion recently so I was going to offer to run it for a bit if people want to try the game out for themselves.
I need at least 4 up to lots and lots.
I can run vanilla if people want to see what the original is like, but there's also some really cool house rules out there if...
Long shot, but does anybody know how to contact this designer? I'm wanting a copy of his game So You Want to be a Rock 'n' Roll Star? which I have much nostalgia for. (We played it at uni as a shit indie band playing toilet venues). He has a website but it seems dead.
Sadly, this campaign collapsed due to player dropout, but I sitll think the playlist I made does an excellent job of giving newbies the right feel for the setting. (It isn't necessarily one to play during the game because it's lyric heavy and potentially distracting).
Put your Ipod or your Spotify or the small bloke who shouts songs in the bathtub on Shuffle. Post the first line of the first ten songs in order, without cheating. Or cheat if you want. I'm not your dad. Sometimes it makes no sense, sometimes it makes a terrifying amount of sense.
Also, try...
I'm putting the finishing touches on a new published LARP and have run into the question of the cover.
As a consumer, how offputting is stock art to you for these purposes? I already have some commissioned art in it (an absolutely gorgeous map by a proper fantasy cartographer) but I'm trying...
We think that the thing causing the recent technical problems for some people is the strain on bandwith caused by these extras.
From Sunday, we shall be disabling all images on the board. While drastic, we hope people will agree this is justified to improve the user experience for everyone.
Spotify Unwrapped if for mobile apps only, so I did Judge My Spotify instead. (You wouldn't have heard of it, it's not mainstream enough) Results!

recently picked up Weird Frontiers over on Bundle of Holding and came across this concept (originally from Dungeon Crawl Classics) there.
For those who like me are new to the concept essentially:
It's called a funnel because it's a way of "funelling" characters into an adventuring party.
