La plupart des conseils aux conteurs, écrivains ou meneurs de jeu, mettent l'accent sur l'implication des cinq sens au lieu des deux seuls sens de vue et de l'ouïe afin d'obtenir des descriptions immersives et captivantes.
Or, certains sens évoquent plus facilement des émotions que d'autres. La vu...
Once all roleplaying session data has been mined from the various available data sources, remains the question of how to exploit it. The prospect of exploiting the data gathered can feel daunting, in fact, because there can be a lot of it.
Most good gamemasters will focus on a few salient aspe...
Les festivaliers de Geekopolis 2015 ont mis en ligne la vidéo de l'atelier / masterclass "Tuez vos PJ", auquel Dreyf (d'Opale), Krom (de Projet-R) & moi-même (GROG) avons participé en mai dernier.
La vidéo se trouve ici.

Tabletop roleplaying games share common traits :
The current Asdrubal Terceius took up the duties of impersonating his illustrious ancestor about 10 years ago, and much earlier than was expected, after the spectacular assassination of his uncle Carlo by a gifted necromancer. He was the only member of the family at that time who was both old enou...
Pub: A powerful senator.
Rep: An immortal, ubiquitous wizard and an ally of Monique D'Aubainne. Those who cross him end badly.
The Terceius family name evokes great power in Al Amarja. Most 'marj'ns know that Asdrubal Terceius is a powerful senator in the service of Her Exaltedness Monique D'A...
The BugHunters RPG (powered with TSR's Amazing Engine system) provided a quite simple character sheet, and quite a detailed skill tree. For the needs of my own 6-year long campaign, I had to insert the BugHunters skill tree into a character sheet. I also seized this opportunity to add a goodly numbe...
Le jeu BugHunters, faisant partie de la gamme Amazing Engine de TSR, présentait une feuille de personnage assez vide (pour ne pas dire très vide), et un arbre de compétence très détaillé.
Pour les besoins de ma propre campagne, en cours depuis 6 ans, j'ai donc intégré l'arbre de compétences de Bug...
A soft, viscous and waxy semi-material Dedomena egg, revolving in the hard, transparent plastic shell of a lava lamp, stands on many a senatorial clerk's desk.
Each globule, just like its siblings, uses the heat of the lamp and the administrative environment to achieve its slow maturation proces...
The fourth sub-level of the Democratic Senate is home to a gargantuan and partially extradimensional female entity, which has been exploring the spheres in order to find a propitious place for laying its eggs. The entity, which is named Dedomena, and her brood can only exist in the conceptual spac...
The Al Amarjan Democratic Senate
A large ultramodern (70's ultramodern that is) building located in Freedom City hosts the sessions of the Democratic Senate.
Situated at the very end of a wide, clean and sunny avenue (Death Scream Lane), surrounded by a nice darkened bronze fence complete with t...
The overweight low-life woman who only answers to the name Edouard Xvii pronounced with a somewhat (but not quite) french accent "Ay-doo-Ah-R Xvee" (yes, it's a male first name) is one orator who usually only comes to the Democratic Commons in order to vent her rage at the universe in general, and...
