Re: [Audyssey] looking for playtesters or feedback for pen paperRPG
Quite easily actually Damian, all that's required is a computer with screen reader to write down character info (I assume you have one of those smile!), and some dice (or the gma dice program), and a Gm and group of people playing the game, I'm actually slightly surprised sometimes that more blinks, - to ruthlessly steel Che's term, don't do a lot of rping, sinse it's one of the most fun and easily accessible things I know, - provided of course you can get your hands on the rules. As everyone on here will know, I've just restarted playing AdD after a long absense. I hink the world and setting sound sfun Brian, and I wouldn't mind a look at the rules assuming you've got a text copy knocking around, though despite my DD playing I'm stil rather inexperienced at rpging, but I'll try and help if I can. Btw, I'm afraid I'm not here next week, so there might be a delay if you'd like people to examine the rules fairly soon. Beware the Greu!

Re: [Audyssey] looking for playtesters or feedback for pen paperRPG
Hey Brian I'd certainly give it a look, and might even be able to ralley a few folks to give it a test run. Perhaps if there is interest we could try a session over the ftp voice chatting as we do with the gamers chats. Interested in taking a look at the file if you could send one my way.

Re: [Audyssey] looking for playtesters or feedback for pen paperRPG
Thanks to everyone who replied. Everyone who expressed interest (either off-list or on) will be contacted shortly. Damien said: oh, so we would be able to play this game then? how does it work? Dark and Christopher already answered this, but I'll just chime in and say that all one should need is the game book, some way to take notes about characters, some way to get a random number between 1 and 20, and the means to do some addition, subtraction and simple division. If it would be of any use to anybody I could write up a text-only webpage that could do 1d20 rolls. Brian St.Claire-King, Creative Director, Vajra Enterprises ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] looking for playtesters or feedback for pen paperRPG
hi all i am not confedent inuff to be a game master but this kid's world that brian talks about if any one who expressed a interest in playing a game when we get the full rule book wants to play a game to test it out on skype or for the people or that kind of sight count me as in. some one will have to teach me how to play pen and paper properly like but i would love a go. ian - Original Message - From: Lora [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'Gamers Discussion list' gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Sunday, June 17, 2007 5:48 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] looking for playtesters or feedback for pen paperRPG Pen and paper gaming is a misnomer. Originally, role-playing games were released exclusively as paper books. When you designed a character for the game, you wrote down all your choices on a piece of paper on what's called a character sheet. When I began playing such games 25 years ago, I simply made my choices and had a friend write them down for me. Nowadays, many game companies are releasing their rules in electronic formats that we can use. As for character sheets, you can now complete them in Word or Notepad or some other similar application, and print them out if your gamemaster wants a hard copy. There are also Web sites for specific game systems where you can fill out an HTML form and then print out the nicely formatted character sheet that will make your GM happy. Thus, pen and paper might also be referred to as keyboard and disk, or something similar. Role-playing games are one type of game where we really aren't at a disadvantage at all when we play. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of shaun everiss Sent: Saturday, June 16, 2007 8:27 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] looking for playtesters or feedback for pen paper RPG Depending on how the game is done you could do this in notepad.
