Hi everypony!

@hakupony HEY THERE! How are you?
Sunday, 22-Apr-12 22:28:15 UTC from web-
@noirbatch Excellent! I created my weirdest RPG character and played him today. It was really fun :)
Sunday, 22-Apr-12 22:29:50 UTC from web-
@hakupony Awesome what game?
Sunday, 22-Apr-12 22:32:16 UTC from web-
@noirbatch Das schwarze Auge, the biggest german Pen and Paper RPG.
Sunday, 22-Apr-12 22:32:56 UTC from web-
@hakupony that sounds pretty sweet!

@noirbatch My character was a guy from Cloudchuckerland - very literaly. He was kidnapped by fairys and grew up in very strang universes and knows nothing about the real world :)

@hakupony that is an awesome and funny background story :D
-

-
@hakupony does that mean "The (something) Eye"?
-
@evilderpyshy The black eye. That's the name of a powerful artifact in the setting. It's out in the US under "the black eye" but it is rather hard o get into it.

@hakupony Dangit, I was gonna say Black, but I thought Schwarse meant something else... is it good?
-
@evilderpyshy It is but like I said before, it is hard to get into, because the rules are complex and there is a library of backgroundd material. They really emphasized the world building aspect.

@hakupony hmm... Ive never played any "physical" rpg-games, but I would like to try, sometime... so, is there just drawing, or Is there moveable "players"?
-
@evilderpyshy We have little to no drawing and no movable objects. We just have our character sheets, our dice, our voices and our imagination :)

@hakupony sounds like my kind of game :D I still don't see HOW I could possibly like chute and ladders, when I was younger. In that game, you have ABSOLUTELY NO control over your actions, you just throes the dice, and does what it says...
-
@evilderpyshy f it weren't for the language barrier, I would invite you to play on Skype :) I wouldn't say it is a classical ame, because it is not that much about winning or losing. You have the DM who plays the world. He tells you how NPCs act, how the weather is and how your enviroment looks like. If you do something hard enough to fail, you roll the dice to determine based on the skills of your character, if you suceed. You play the whole thing with a group and you will be adventuring and just RPing your characters. It's pretty fun, especially, if people take efford to their characters.

@hakupony sound fun! I really like the fact that It's more about the RP, and norlt so much about win/lose :D but... what do you mean with "language-barrier"?
-
@evilderpyshy Your native language is most likely Norwegian, mine is german. We could talk to each other because we both know english, but it could be difficult enough to distract us from playing.
Sunday, 22-Apr-12 23:04:54 UTC from web-
@hakupony yea, I guess so xD Man, I wish I didn't switch from German to French... I did so good at French, switched to French because I thought I liked it better, and now I don't know any French, basically... but now that I think about it, ... The internet can teach me! :O New Quest: learn basic german In a week.
-
@evilderpyshy If you want to talk to a german person, I'm there :-) But if you don't get a group where you live, we can try text RPGs but I'm rather unexperienced with that. Maybe we can gather enough ponies who are interested and decite what rules and setting to use :)

@hakupony sure! Ima big fan of rougelike-games like NetHack, and other games like that, even tough its not much "graphics" there, It's just like reading a book. Especially when stuff like "You zap a wand of glass. You realize that a wand of glass is a wand of fire. The fire engulfs you. You die!" happens. It's not so much about the visuals, but more about the images that appears In your head, just like books. Which makes me laugh sometimes :P
-
@evilderpyshy "This cockatrice corpse tastes terrible!" #oops
-
@bitshift a wild lv.6 GRIDBUG appears. Foe GRIDBUG realizes this isn't POkÉMON, and crumbles Into a heap.
-
@bitshift you should check out "POWDER", if you like that kind of games ;)
-
@evilderpyshy I mostly enjoy finding out just how many stupid ways I can die in. (Answer: so very many of them.) :P
-

-
@evilderpyshy There is one difference in reading a book: you help creating the plot. If things go as they should, you develop your own plans what to do with you char and working for that goal - even if I as the DM had other goals with you.
Sunday, 22-Apr-12 23:41:08 UTC from web-
@hakupony yea, but I meant like, when reading one, you get like a "movie" in your head. Sane thing goes for rougelikes with little to no graphics. If a game like, say Skyrim, had some text pop up, saying "You die because the rat ate your foot", it would just seem weird, describing something that probably wast even animated to happen. But in these older games, you make your own "animations", and then anything becomes possible.
-
@evilderpyshy That's true, there still are games which follow the "describe, not show" arout for that very reason. In P&P RPGs you have to use the formula because there is everything possible. You could use your food as bait for the rat and then eat the rat because you wanted some rat :)
Sunday, 22-Apr-12 23:53:33 UTC from web-
@hakupony yea, I know. Or like dipping a sword in a yellow potion, to find out what it is ;)

@evilderpyshy It's very hard to explain, so I'll use ponies. http://friendshipisdragons.thecomicseries.com/comics/first/ This comic kind of shows how things tend to develop (especially if you read the comments)
