  • RPG Biography
    Started with D&D Red Box in 1983 and play regularly with my first group since then, meeting almost every weekend. Played CoC first in 1985 and RQ in 1988. Most BRP games I played are (in that order) CoC, Stormbringer/ Elric! and RQ 3. Superhero rpg have a special place in my heart (since I started to play Champions/ HERO in 1989) although I do not play them anymore.

  1. This is a business decicision. Some horrible, horrible, horrible mistake was made and 100 Questen had get booted. No alternative. Okay. No further discussion. TDM had to do what they had to do. Right. Well, I also had business relations with TDM in the way of buying their books, adventures and whatnot. More than I can actually play. I was very happy with the 100 Questen translations, so much that I double bought books - English first, German later. The way 100 Questen managed their business end was superb: top-notch translations, published products all on time (can't remeber a delay really) in a business were translations are often only just okay, delays the rule etc. And if you ever met Andre and the others - very friendly guys. So, TDM says: "Yeah, swell. But that fuck-up was their first and last. Mebbee someone else wants to pick up the German license: Cost you money,a lot of work awaits you and if you fuck up once, we yank the license from under your feet like yesterday and tell the customers: They did bad, so we booted them. No, no further information for you clowns - see: business secret. BUY TDM!" Well, they can surely do that. Sound all good and legal to me. Public relations-wise it is like increasing the prices of your product to tripple the price before and say: We had, too. Don't ask questions. Now buy again." I will buy the German products of 100 Questen that I don't already have. I will sell the English stuff on E-bay (already started - the translations are much better, really). And that's it. Best of luck, TDM. Hope you like my decision as much as I like yours. But see, Lawrence: It is all business "and sometimes there’s no alternative but a red card. This was a red card situation." For me, too.
  2. 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?
  3. "Lasst dem Spaß beginnen!" Und retten dem Dativ! 🙃
  4. 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.
  5. 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 ... 😈
  6. 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.
  7. @ Bromo: Don't bother. Enjoy your game.
  8. Ich sehe, dass die Produktivität beim deutschen Mythras ungebrochen ist. Nur bei Andre ist augenscheinlich der Bart ab! 😉
  9. Cardinal DOOM inspecting the defense system of Latfrancia. Let the Musketeering Four come! MUHAHAHA!
  10. 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.

    Dear C&W

    Yep, the fire is still burning quite brightly.
  13. 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.
