Halloween gaming!
Well, it is not Halloween yet, but this Saturday is close enough. So this post is about Halloween stuff. Let's start with a song, shall we. *Vampire* * * So, soon about to start gaming Vampire. Instead of normal session continuing the main story, I'll pull a Halloween session. One or more little stories and plots depending on how it goes. Nothing written down or planned. Maybe urban legends is a good start. I thought that as player character is a Nosferatu there might be albino alligator in sewers. Enchanted with Tzimisce blood and crafts. Deal with it, as RSPCA cannot. Also ghos... more »
Interview: Sami Koponen, Finnish game material writer and a gamer
I already have interviewed Finnish roleplaying games designer *Ville Vuorela * from Burger Games and it was a success. It gave me inspiration and courage to interview other people who are publishing or otherwise active in Finnish gaming. Second in my mind was *Sami Koponen*. Sami Koponen is Finnish roleplayer, active member of Finnish roleplaying community and also author of roleplaying material. You can find Sami's website and blog here: http://efemeros.wordpress.com/author/samikoponen/ Sami also writes news for Finnish roleplaying games site Roolipelitiedotus: http... more »
Reviewing: Ye Booke of Monstres for Call of Cthulhu
Liked re-writing my Vampire: the Masquerade review in the last post, so I thought I'd continue re-reviewing games. This original review I wrote is from 2009 for Roolipelit.net forum. Ye Booke of Monstres - The Aniolowski Collection, Volume 1 [image: Ye Booke of Monstres kansikuva]Sourcebook for Call of Cthulhu introducing a bung of monsters from a selection of authors inspired by H.P.Lovecraft's work and Mythos. Author of this sourcebook tells that some of these Monsters aren't official Mythos entities but they fit in the world of Cthulhu. Monsters from this books are collected from ... more »
Review: Vampire: the Masquerade Revised
This is actually a review I wrote back in 2008 for Finnish roleplaying games forum. I use it as a base for this new review, but modify some parts of it according to today and how I feel Vampire: the Masquerade now. *Short History Of Me And Vampire: the Masquerade* I bought V:tM in late 90's, because I already had Vampire: Dark Ages what I myself enjoyed but my gaming group wasn't that interested in. Main reason was that my group was mainly into fantasy and V:DA was too close being fantasy but it wasn't fantasy enough. So when I heard about Vampire: the Masquerade and saw it in my loc... more »
Things I like in pop-culture relating to rpg's
Started my work day and while working I started to think about different things I like in pop-culture what are related into roleplaying games or my roleplaying hobby. Now I am sitting down taking my coffee break and thought: Why only entertain myself, why don't blog about it. So, here are things I like in popular culture what are related into roleplaying games or my roleplaying hobby. *Vampires* * * Yeah, I had to take this one first, because Vampire: the Masquerade is my favourite and most played roleplaying game ever. Vampires in it can be almost anything: monstrous, animalistic, ... more »
All about rings. Me and Lord of the Rings
My relationship to Lord of the Rings. Even though LotR is not the only older fantasy series still popular, I think it is most well known of them all. There are several titles in different platform about Lord of the Rings and Middle-earth everything from movies, comics, roleplaying games, video games etc. But where do I stand? *The Books* * * I have to admit, I haven't finished "the trilogy". I don't even remember how much I have read of it. I might now be a heathen, but it was boring and it never captured my attention. I did read Silmarillion and the other book about unfinished stor... more »
About Mutants & Masterminds and movie The Spirit
*The Spirit - Quick Review* Movie what is close to Sin City and 300 movies both in comic style and people behind it. Cool comic style superhero adventure with stylished black and white contrast in some parts.Even though The Spirit is visually awesome it left me a bit cold. I think I must see it again, because I really did not know what to expect. I bet, that the second view it will rock harder. Spirit has this 50's feel in it. It is a superhero story where superhero doesn't wear bright spandex and shoot lazer from his eyes, but more gritty. The Spirit is a superhero who can fight a... more »
YDIN - Current overview
Slowly but steadily I am writing YDIN. It doesn't happen as fast as I wish, because I basically write it in my freetime. And I also have other things to attend to in my freetime. Anyways, I have a clear picture in my head what I just basically need to write down in great layout. I have several versions of YDIN but for some reason it works me best that I basically write it again when something new comes in. I can do minor edits to current texts but with bigger scale changes it's easier for me to write whole thing than start editing possibly several pages. This slows
