General Kong

Klingt vom Titel her, als sei es vom Hintergrund auch in den Neuen Reichen spielbar. Ist das so oder eher nicht mehr oder weniger als andere fantasyabenteuer auch?

"Lasst dem Spaß beginnen!" Und retten dem Dativ! 🙃

There is no need for any apology. All mistakes a extremely minor. I see worse in any homework or class test I have to correct, even in finishing classes. And as long someone does not goes out of his way to insult or ridicule someone's else's culture etc. everybody should stay calm and just assume: An honest and innocent mistake. But as I said: Very minor, stylistic errors. Just wanted to make a good text better.

Please note that I did correct one of the handwritten "corrections" of my fellow Germans. I am a GERMAN and a TEACHER. A horrible, gruesome and terrifying combination when it comes to correcting other people's mistakes ... 😈

Basically a good text. Some small mistakes: "Heute war es herrlich." "Gefahr laufen" instead of "gefahr laufen" "was wir bisher erfahren haben ", not "gelernt" (we Germans don't learn something (except in school), we get to know something) "Ich habe vor ein paar Stunden zu warten, in der Hoffnung, dass sie verschwunden sind." (not gegangen). The text is supposed to be from 1919, so it should be "daß" (ß = Sz) instead of the modern "dass". "Ich werde etwas Schmuck sammeln und dann fliehen" - Not wrong per se, but I guess, since the writer is going to grab stuff and run, he would have written: "Ich werde etwas Schmuck zusammensuchen und dann zu fliehen versuchen." He is not "collecting" jewelry, he is deciding what is most valuable and then trying to make a run for it, I suppose. But all in all no bad mistakes.

@ Bromo: Don't bother. Enjoy your game.

Great news!

Ich sehe, dass die Produktivität beim deutschen Mythras ungebrochen ist. Nur bei Andre ist augenscheinlich der Bart ab! 😉

Cardinal DOOM inspecting the defense system of Latfrancia. Let the Musketeering Four come! MUHAHAHA!

I actually down understand the arguing: Die Schwarze Sonne is a symbol imbedded in the Obergruppenführersaal of the Wewelsburg. It is certainly not the invention of Stephan Mögle-Stadel who used it for his book published in 1991. Yo don't believe me? Go to the Wewelsburg. You can stand on the Sonne. I did. There are even achaelogical finds in Verucchio in Italy from the 7th and 8th century before Christ and from the Alamans from the times of the Merowingians (6th century AD). So it is way older than Naziism.

Der Rote Baron weiß Rat ... Enjoy. (WRRRRROOOOOOOMMM!) CC2-Character-sheet-2.1.pdf

Yep, the fire is still burning quite brightly.

The symbol which is a real one and that you can find in the Gruppenführersaal, a special hall in the Wewelsburg intended for meetings of Gruppenführer (SS-Generals) is called Schwarze Sonne; Die Schwarze Sonne if you want to use it with an article. Just because we like compounds words does not mean that you can just put everything together. 😉 Schwarzesonne isn't correct German. And Nachtwölfe it is - there is an umlaut in the plural form: der Nachtwolf - die Nachtwölfe. Just if you wonder: Yep, ich bin Deutscher.

Start a new one.

Very nice. We do almost the same here: We roast Papists on a Pyre for Hell! MUHAHAHA! 😈 Erm .. I mean: PRAISE THE LORD!

Butters, brave words ... but: Your royal house is already quite on fire! Hah!

Damn that French Papist strumpet fighting for that Impostor and Traitor of a King! Long live the Republic! Hurray for Cromwell! For a Truly Christian England faithful to the Lord's Word!

A question that has bothered me as long as I have played CoC: How does a character "signal" that he is inventing Magic Points in a ritual, item or spell? It sometimes says in a describtion "If a charcter spends 3 MPs then this or that happens". How does this work in "real" life? Does the Professor of Occultism concentrate and let it flow into the magical dagger? What if teh dagger is not magical and cannot "receive" the spend MPs? Does our professor know that? Does he reckon that his "magical" dagger is not magical at all and thet the antiques seller sold him a fake? Or do you just say: "My character wants to send 6 MPs into the dagger. - "Ain't working. It's just some piece of cutlery!" "Oh that antiques salesman - damn his eyes!"

I would either use the +1, +2 etc rule or variable AP like Elric!/Sturmbringer with te helemt also giving a plus to AP. Why? Becaus if you use Helmet AP like you outlined lying down might even be bad for a character againt missiles because all of the sudden he my be less likely to hit because of the cover but for some strange reason all the hits are headshots and the rest of the armor (also protectimg his shoulders, upper chest, arms) are good for nothing and he is none the better off than a guy in a t-shirt. Granted, helmets are a good protection against shrapnels but even today a helmet cannot withstand a direct hit by a bullet if said bullet is not soemwhat glanced off by the roundness of the helmet. I would use random AP with a bonus for the helmet 8 (or a -1 if the suit of armor is lacking a helmet).

Looks quite interesting.

Jim is dead but he lives one in his illustrations. If he was half as witty and funny as his drawings are the angels are chuckling so bad that hell is sending protests-notes to heaven for "some peace and quiet". Still, a great loss. All the best to his family and friends.

Being good at what you do does not qualify you to teach it to others. Of course, you should be knowedgeable about your subject as a teacher but Einstein would probably have failed at teaching 8th graders. On the other hand, an 8th grade physics teacher would most likely be a lousy Ersatz-Einstein. 😉

Yep, I ran Robinson Gruesome in a One Shot for my oldest friend (know him from before kindergarten), like me a roleplaying veteran (whe started gaming together in 1983 and are still playing in the same group as the founding members). Great adventure, great fun. He even survived and managed to kill the Big Deepie ... barely. I like the other secnarios, too, but hadn't had the chance to run them yet.

You if you a follower of that excuse for a King! Hah! See you on the field of honour - you see me in my triplane coming down on you from the sky! 😉 Let the Lord be witness which powers is more potent: Papism and Magickal Trickery OR True Faith and Machinery!

All we loyal Roundheads know: That Vile Traitor to Parliament of the Good Folks of England, that Ally of the Bishop of Rome who is the Representative of the Devil Himself, that Fodder for the Abyss who entertains witches and warlocks in his camp has not long to live! Defend the True Faith! All Hail to Parliament! All hail to the Republic! All hail to the Lord Protector! For England! And if you think that this Rhinish Pfalzgraf of the Palatine will give you an edge - think again! Soon Rote Kampfflieger from our Protestant allies in Germany will straf your witches with tri-planes from the sky like Cherubins from Heaven itself! Triplanes - that are flying machines! "Ballons" - improve your intelligence, you Papists! God help us - we will send you all to hell!
