Master’s Talk December

The Master’s Talk will be held in English.

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 Wednesday, December 13th from 6 p.m. to approximately 8:30 p.m. in the Erupt Lounge. Be there!

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. & 2. topic: tba

System of the Month December: Ten Candles

Ten Candles is a “tragic horror” game rather than survival horror for one main reason: in Ten Candles there are no survivors. In the final scene of the game, all of the characters will die. In this, Ten Candles is not a game about “winning” or beating the monsters. It is a game about being pushed to the brink of madness and despair, searching for hope in a hopeless world, and trying to do something meaningful with your final few hours left.

There will be 4 different opportunities for you to try this purely improvisational and very rules light game with GM Max!

The games will happen on the
4.12., 11.12., 18.12. & 27.12. at 6pm

Down the middle

On Wednesday, 8 November 2023, the Pathfinder Society will meet from 17:30 – approx. 23:00 in the Society’s chambers. Now that the Pathfinders have been given permission to enter the interior of Arcadia, the task is to have a powerful artefact repaired so that it can be returned to its original owners. This is Adventure 4-13: Within the Prairies.


The PCs meet with Venture-Captain Rahaksenwe in Segada, the Arcadian City of Keys, where prior negotiations between the Pathfinder Society and the Segadan government have permitted the PCs’ entry into the Arcadian interior. They must bring a legendary star gun to a mysterious, reclusive gunsmith, persuade them to repair it, then repatriate it to its original home: the prairie town, Niishan.

After acquiring supplies, the PCs depart for the gunsmith’s home, led by their Segadan guide Tsimaan Ayika. After arriving at the gunsmith’s home, they discover a standoffish individual named Whiirii. The PCs must aid Whiirii in repairing the star gun before traveling to Niishan, the star gun’s original home, all while protecting them from Aslynn’s forces (who have only the worst plans in mind).


The adventure is suitable for characters of levels 1-4. It is also open to new players who do not yet have any role-playing experience and/or are not yet familiar with the Pathfinder system in its 2nd edition.

1. topic: How to prepare a One-Shot

Come discuss the topic of one-shots with Daniele. A short form adventure, usually limited in time, poses different questions than a fully formed Campaign. What story can I tell? How can people bond and create a group? How can we reach an ending which is satisfying for everyone? Come talk with us and figure out this topic together!
