System of the Month July: EAT THE REICH

By

On 17. May 2024

In Events EN

TAGS:

THE YEAR IS 1943. EUROPE IS IN FLAMES.

YOU ARE A UNIT OF CRACK VAMPIRE COMMANDOS WITH A SINGLE OBJECTIVE:
DRINK ALL OF ADOLF HITLER’S BLOOD AND FATALLY DESTABILISE THE NAZI WAR MACHINE

Welcome to EAT THE REICH where you are a vampire commando telling over-the-top stories of action, ultraviolence, carnage and supernatural mayhem. You like movies like Iron Sky, Inglorious Basterds, Mad Heidi or Dead Snow? Then bring your best one-liners and fight your way through Nazi-occupied Paris to kill Hitler!

How do you play?

4-6 players choose one of six pre-made vampires with special abilities. During your turn, you roll the dice individually to decide how many successes you want to invest in your common goal, or whether you would rather collect blood. Everything else is done by description – you have full control over your, but also all the no-name characters around you.

Please note: This game is all about carnage and describing it. You yourself are a monster and even innocents could get hurt. Clichés are omnipresent.
Due to the background, racism and fascism will play a role, but only subordinately. There are no comments/insults towards or among the players.

We will play on July 11 & 18 starting at 6 pm. The game will be played with pre-made characters in German.
Free of charge but there is a collection for the room rental.

Master’s Talk April ’24

On 7. April 2024

TAGS:

If the terms “action adjudication”, “railroad” and “three-clue-rule” make you look perplexed, if you are interested in the delicate art of game mastery (see also What is Pen & Paper?) or if you have already honed it to near perfection, then the Master’s Talk is the perfect event for you!

With the Master’s Talk, we have created a vessel where game masters can exchange ideas about battlemap design, discuss questions about past game sessions, or share their experiences.

This Master’s Talk will be held on Monday, March 22th from 6 p.m. to approximately 8:30 p.m. in the KuL-Room. Be there!
The Master’s Talk will be held in English.

To make the Master’s Talk a little different from a loose meeting over a cold drink, we have come up with some topics that we would like to discuss. There will be short inputs on various topics prepared by some of the game masters to start a discussion. Because we have so many questions for our fellow game leaders and hope others have as many.

1. topic: Character creation

Different characters require an equally different way of creating them. And how do you breathe life into the character afterwards? Andrea prepares the topic for us in detail and then discusses the challenges of character creation with us.

2. topic: tba

1. topic: Adversary Rosters

Does this ever happen to you? Your players pick apart your carefully planned opposition room by room, trivialising a tough enemy outpost? Or you’re faced with an opposition compound with dozens of NPCs to control, with no way to focus on anything else? If you want the simplest and most fun tool to turn your dour dungeons into lively locales, Nino has got the tool for you: Adversary Rosters!

2. topic: Improv

Not all characters can be worked out in advance – some are created spontaneously. And not every GM has attended drama school. Em shows us tips and ideas on how to breathe life into characters spontaneously.

System of the Month March: W10+ System

By

On 23. February 2024

In Events EN

TAGS:

Spring awakening… But not only does the vegetation awaken from hibernation and the migratory birds return, no, the Rûhkka also swarm out, far more numerous than in previous years. Are they really not a threat?

The home-made ruleset W10+ System is less suited to a strategic-tactical and more to a cinematic-narrative style of play. A selection of pre-made characters, scaled down for a convention or one-shot, are available to give you a taste of my own personal take on a role-playing game and a taste of my world of Ahbaron.

Interested? Then register now via info@kul-verein.ch. Registration is possible until 13.03.2024 – after that the game will be published on Meetup.

The SotM will take place on Friday, 22.03.2024 from 19:00 to max. 22:00. The game will be played in German.

2. topic: Character introduction

With Joel.
