WWW.MAGICREALM.NET FORUMS ARCHIVE This archive contains a complete record of all messages posted on the forums at MagicRealm.net The last message posted here is dated 14 Feb 2004. The archive is organized in the same manner as the forums were: two main sections, and seven subsections. Each discussion topic is linked to a bookmark. The discussion topics are sorted from oldest to newest within each subsection. This is the opposite of how they were sorted in the original forums, but it was easier to build and maintain the archive in this way. Known problems: The polls in the “Software” subsection could not be archived. Many of the URL’s came through as blank lines. The forum software had a flaw: at the start of each discussion topic, it lists the topic name followed by “started by [name]” – but instead of using the name of the person who started the topic, it used the name of the last person to post to that topic.

Monk: A quiet, dedicated man, the monk is master of dealing damage, either with his bare hands or with weapons. advantages: Poverty: The monk begins with zero gold and may never gain gold in any way. He can barter with others using the gold value of items, but he may never acquire gold.

FANTASY GAMES and SOCIAL WORLDS Simulation As Leisure
>> Version of Record - Sep 1, 1981 What is This? Downloaded from sag.sagepub.com at SAGE Publications on December 8, 2012 FANTASY GAMES AND SOCIAL WORLDS Simulation as Leisure GARY ALAN FINE University of Minnesota As the longevity and success of this journal attest, simulation games have had a considerable impact on the scholarly commun- ity, spawning cottage industries and academic specialties. Simu- lation gaming is now well established as a legitimate academic pursuit and teaching tool. Simultaneous with the growth of educational games, the 1970s witnessed the development and popularity of other role-playing games, essentially simulations, which have enjoyment and fantasy as their major goals. These games are known generically as fantasy role-playing games. My intent in this article is to describe the games, discuss the relationship of these games to similar activities (including educational simulations), describe the players, and examine their reasons for participating in this social world. By studying these play forms, researchers who specialize in educational simulations can observe parallels in this leisure activity. AUTHOR’S NOTE: The author would like to thank Sherryl Kleinman and Linda Hughes for comments on previous drafts of this article. SIMULATION ~c GAMES, Vol. 12 No. 3, September I981 251-279 @ 1981 Sage Pubhcations, Inc. 251 Downloaded from sag.sagepub.com at SAGE Publications on December 8, 2012 252 WHAT IS FANTASY ROLE-PLAY GAMING? A &dquo;[fantasy] role-playing game&dquo; has been defined as &dquo;any game which allows a number of players to assume the roles of imaginary characters and operate with some degree of freedom in an imaginary environment&dquo; (Lortz, 1979b: 36).

Frankly, this sucks as I don’t do editorials, so instead I have left you with a picture of the Wheel of Pain from Conan because that’s how I feel. It’s also conceivable that if this editorial is grotty enough I might not be asked to do another one, which would be nice.

Space Snoozer Solo Game Runequest
SWEDEN’S OLDEST GAMING MAGAZINE SPACE SNOOZER SOLOSOLO GAMEGAME AGITATOR NEW AD&D CLASS RUNEQUEST QUICKSTART REVIEWREVIEW CREATURE CORNER CHINESE MONSTERS THE QUEST FOR THE MYSTERIOUS SCROLL SPA VAPID II THE PLOT THICKENS IDEAS • TIPS AND MORE FOR GAMES FROM TSR TO OSR ILL.: JOAKIM NILSSON Welcome to yet another issue of Mjölnir - the ‘zine for fans of eve- rything between TSR and OSR. That Mjölnir, despite colouring and digitization, is still a fanzine is obvious; all contributions are by fans, done out of pure enthusiasm, with no money involved - only the love for one’s game, one’s artwork, one’s publishing company. In Mjölnir 9 we have the great pleasure to see the return of Anders Blixt as a contributor. Anders, co-editor of the earliest Mjölnir issues, wrote some of the first ever features on RuneQuest in Sweden and we have the honour of presenting his, and new contributor Mattias Lejbrink’s views on the ‘comeback’ of RuneQuest. From the vaults of Bo Jangeborg, another former chief editor, comes yet more unpublished vintage AD&D material. Meet some legendary Chinese beasts in Creature Corner (formerly Spökspalten) and get drawn into the ever thickening plots at Spa Vapid. Blood & Bronze hope to be back in future issues - follow them at bloodandbronze.com in the meantime. This is the English-language edition of Mjölnir; in the Swedish version of Mjölnir 9, published simultaneously, you may also find exclusive features from Titan Games and Svärd & Svartkonst, Sweden’s leading OSR publishers. But both editions start off by sending you, dear reader, on a wild solo survival trip into outer space.

A Runequest 6Th Edition Rules Supplement X
A RuneQuest 6th Edition Rules Supplement X CREDITS Research, Rules, Mechanics and Lead Writing: Pete Nash Additional Material: Lawrence Whitaker Editing and Layout: Lawrence Whitaker DISCLAIMER This unofficial article uses some material from the Wookieepedia Wiki, an invaluable website for all Star Wars related information. Many thanks to the creators and their efforts. Star Wars and other associated names are the sole and exclusive property of Lucasfilm Limited. Their inclusion within this article is under Fair Use purposes only to enable fans to create their own games based in the Star Wars universe. We heartily suggest that those interested in running a full and professional Star Wars game (rather than this feeble freebie hack) should look at the recently released and Edge of Empire produced by Fantasy Flight Games. INTRODUCTION Most owners of RuneQuest 6th Edition will probably have purchased it with the intent to run games set in traditional fantasy settings. As it stands the book can pretty much cover anything from historical Neolithic hunter-gatherers to Arabian Nights Sword & Sorcery. Yet the underly- ing mechanics of RuneQuest are flexible enough to represent any genre. Of course a Game Master needs to invest a little more work if planning to run a game in an atypical setting. Whilst the Design Mechanism intends to publish some more modern setting books in the future, this article is the first of an informal series to show just how easy it is to make your own conversions (commonly known as ‘hacks’) to play in the more infamous Sci-Fi and Fantasy worlds. To start the ball rolling we’ll show how you can use RQ6 to run a Star Wars based game, which is about as far removed from S&S as can be imagined.

Dc Names Collection Ii
Thank you for your interest in another fine Emerald Giant product. The lists in this document were generated by the Dungeon Crawler computer program. If you happened to purchase this reasonably priced software, you could generate and endless supply of such items. New material is being added all the time. Enough advertising. Great effort has been taken to make sure the results are useful, interesting and fun. Recognizing the limits of computer generated descriptions, I expect you will find entries that don’t work for you. Some will be too silly or too serious for your taste. Whatever. In actual use, I tend to generate a cluster of items and pick the one I like best at a given moment—something that fits the mood of the game. I’m sure you’ll do the same. Also, some of the lists Emerald Giant has made available are humorous by their very nature. Passwords and Tavern Diversions are good examples. There are many I would never use in a serious role-playing session, but I hope you find them hilariouSamples and well w ofilerth the price of admission. Enjoy. Randy Baker Emerald Giant Software 100 TAVERN NAMES 1. The Dragon-Scribe Inn 51. The Raintide Parlor 2. Half-Ogre's Alehouse 52. The Brown Grease 3. The Deformed Spine Spot 53.
