From playing to GMing

Would you like to run D&D or other TTRPG games yourself, but are unsure how to get started?

With a few tips and tricks, we want to support you on your way to finding your own style, strengthen your confidence that what you are doing is the right thing and encourage you to find your own way.
After all, it is your individual style that will ultimately make your sessions a special event.

We invite interested people to a 3-hour workshop to try this out.

The workshop is free of charge and suitable for people of all ages. We will collect money for the room rental.

Registration by e-mail to info@ahbaron.com

We look forward to seeing you!
Andrea & Jojo

Master’s Talk April ’24

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.

With Joel.
