Playing with the balls...

Finally, I am home again, and boy, it has been a while. Work has really taken it's toll lately, and for the last week, I haven't even been home. Hotels are nice when they are for vacation and more or less voluntary, but rapidly become demanding when they are mandatory. Today, I was back in the tower, and that felt nice. Comforting to hear the roar of jet engines outside the window. After a really heavy day, swamped with interrogations and regulations, I got to go home and throw myself in the couch with nothing better to do that act like the Marine Liason to the Office of Naval Contemplation.

Food today was interesting. I have never been, nor will I ever voluntarily be, a vegan or vegetarian or dieter of any sort. Today though I got myself some lacto-ovo-vegetarians balls to eat. Stood frying them on the stove, speculating on that they actually contain, pondering the goodness of my heart. Amanda, Vendela's daughter, has turned vegetarian (the way someone turns vampire, I guess) so I decided I needed to be able to prepare something of the sort. Since I have no experience whatsoever (my vegetarian cuisine is limited to a salad... which normally contains salami or bacon or chicken or all of the above) I bought a pack of balls... or bundle.. or sack. Well, in order to be the bigger man here, I have to admit that the balls were spectacular! Really good! I threw some noodles over them (sort of like on a Greek statue) and then some garlic sauce. I rolled the balls around in a hot pan and then scratched them over onto the plate for a delicious meal. It pains me to say! So yeah, I ought to be able to prepare one or two veggie meals shortly, but then I need to be able to sink my teeth into a soft and juicy Ven.. venison!! Yeah, that's what I meant.

And some old pictures have once again found their way onto my FlickR-page. They used to be on my old homepage, like so many others, but with the transition, they just never found their way. Here they are again, though. Or two of them. The rest are of course on the FlickR-page.

And soon, I will get my three best models back home for some experiments and serious playtimes! That is something that my being cries out for! I will throw some teasers up here on the blog shortly - keep a sharp lookout!!!

Enchance your roleplaying

Always remember that someone is watching.  Enhancing your roleplaying Some challenges for the avid GM Improvisational-style challenges are fantastic for fostering creativity and quick thinking, as well as providing a new depth to connection between the player and the character.  Encourage spontaneity. Force players to react to unexpected situations without overthinking. This can help stay in character and make authentic decisions on the fly, without optimising their thoughts.   Foster collaboration. Players should build on each other's actions and cues and ideas, creating a shared narrative that is richer and more dynamic.  Character depth. By focusing on emotions, physical actions or hidden motivations, the player can help himself get a stronger sense of who the character is, beyond the stats on the sheet.   Problem-solving under pressure. High-stake situations requiring the players to solve problems creatively without relying to pre-planned strategie...

Mål och Moralkompasser

Mål och moralkompasser Hur använder man materialet?  För moralkompassen, ange siffan för vilken personlighetsegenskap det gäller, och sedan 1 till 10 för var på skalan karaktären befinner sig. 1.1 betyder tex en med lägsta möjliga samvete och 5.10 är en som håller sanningen i högsta möjliga aktning.  Moralkompass  1. Samvete. Visar på nivån av aktning man visar för samhällets normer under rådande tid. På den lägre änden så går man från att vara rent ohövlig till att bli mer brottslig och samvetslöst kanske våldtar, mördar och rånar. På den högre änden så är man artig och lyder inte bara lagen utan "vad som är rätt", såsom seder och normer.  2. Arbetsmoral. På den låga sidan har vi latmaskar som undviker arbete till alla pris och kommer alltid försöka få andra att utföra jobbet åt dem. Kan till och med gå så långt att riskera liv för att maska. På den höga sidan har vi de som utför sina plikter med vigör, som fyller sina dagar med aktiviteter och träning och underhåll...

Enhance your roleplaying part II

  Enchance your roleplaying part II tricks of the trade I was listening to my favorite RPG podcast, "Ain't Slayed Nobody" and was reflecting on the interplay between the character and the player. The pod has a lot of improvisational focus and the players are almost always extravagantly skilled at this concept.  Building on each other  One of the major rules for improvisational theatre is one a good player and Gamemaster should internalize as well - Don't say no! Say yes, but... and add to the story.  If other players are attempting to use something against your character, the natural impulse is to feel degraded or overruled and to resist. Experiment with allowing the manipulation, and allowing that to add to your character. I was listening to one pod where one characters was humorously ganged up on and had his pride destroyed, as the other characters sedated him and put parasites on him, resulting in the sedated character wetting himself with the relaxed bladder cont...
