Longtemps attendu par les connaisseurs, voici le kickstarter pour Cthulhu Dark (en VOEN), une version sensiblement étoffée du jeu. Un bouquin de 200 pages pour un jeu dont les mécaniques tiennent en deux pages... parce qu'il est accompagné d'un paquet d'explications su comment utiliser ces règles au mieux, des routines et techniques pour faire du cthulien authentique et de conseils de jeux. Connaissant les productions précédentes de Graham, c'est probablement terriblement clair, simple et efficace. Le tout est agrémenté de quatre décors de jeux : Londres en 1851, Arkham en 1692, Jaiwo en 2017 et Mumbai en 2037, chacun avec un scénario.
Et si les avis éclairés de Jason Morningstar et Vincent Baker ne suffisent pas à vous convaincre, je vous invite à écouter pourquoi Cthulhu Dark c'est si bien en écoutant le Radio-Rôliste 52 (http://www.radio-roliste.net/?p=1123) où Côme détaille le jeu et une partie des nombreux hacks qu'il a inspiré (généralement un autre gage de qualité).
Pour finir, c'est un KS comme je les aime, avec 1 seul palier très raisonnable : vous savez précisément à quoi vous vous engagez, cela élimine le risque d'un jeu méconnaissable à force d'ajouts ou d'un retard accumulé pour la même cause.

Here's the Kickstarter for Cthulhu Dark, a roleplaying game of intense Lovecraftian horror in a beautiful 200-page hardback book.
Have a look at the rewards! You can just get the book. You can get a signed book or a leatherbound edition. You can get the Season Pass, in which you'll get each section of Cthulhu Dark as it's finished. And, whatever level you back at, you'll get the preview version, Cthulhu Dark Zero, just after the Kickstarter finishes.
At higher levels, I'll send you mysterious letters about Cthulhu Dark, from throughout space and time. And one backer will have their copy of Cthulhu Dark hand-delivered by a malevolent faceless stranger.
If you're new to Lovecraftian horror or unsure whether to back, have a look at the samples of the book, which you'll find on the Kickstarter page. I think you'll find Cthulhu Dark a perfect introduction into a world of terrifying and terribly human stories.
Thanks for your support! I'm excited to share the book with you. And please do share this Kickstarter link widely.

I've always been wary of the unconditional promotion of the "yes and/but" technique / game culture, for pure gaming reasons. I never thought about them from a consent point of view. This is important.

An update on Malleus, my PbtA based game of 17th Century monster hunting:
I have finally got around to putting together updated versions of all of the Malleus archetype playbooks, on the new single page layout. This means the game is actually playable again, as the playbooks actually match the current state of the rules text.
I'm pretty happy with the new playbooks, although they haven't been properly proofread. The references sheets are a bit rough and ready though, and the layout needs revision. I can finally get back to playtesting with these, however,
The new set of playbooks is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-zmlkgjmFt1eG9Kalh6MVdXdEk/view?usp=sharing

Since I saw the French original propagate on social networks, I have been ill at ease with that cartoon.
Since I saw the French original propagate on social networks, I have been ill at ease with that cartoon. I'd like to discuss that thoughtfully, to determine where I am, let’s say, at fault and where there might be something troublesome in that comic.
Reading it I have a kneejerk reaction akin to the infuriating “not all men”. But it’s not that. While the diagnostic is rather accurate, I find the tone rather passive-aggressive which is rude and inefficient (probably much more effective for venting than for going forward), the way it covertly lays the blame troublesome, both things aggravated by the smallish place left to contextualization and practical solutions (the last few panels).
My kneejerk reaction goes “Why do you choose to live with an asshole? If you tolerate this, it’s your fault”. Knee-jerk, yes, with side dishes of “you complain to your friend but do nothing to fix it with your partner?”. Knee-jerk and aggressively formulated as these stand, I still believe these to be crudely true.
This kind of oppression, in my eyes, rests as much on the shoulders of women as it does on men’s. Anyone who doesn’t fight it is responsible.
I believe the cartoon misses its point. What is shown isn’t having an organizer and a subordinate, certainly not a loyal, involved, efficient one. It is having someone who is accountable for stuff and someone who plain doesn’t care, and obviously doesn’t care much about their partner’s wellbeing either. Ie; an asshole. Mental load is only a small, incidental, part of the problem shown.
Now I’ll go into side notes territory.
- It is more difficult to organize things together, to coordinate, than to have a leader and a led. The archetypal division where the woman does the house’s chores and the man does the technical or heavy work, unfair as it is, is efficient. Like dictatorships are more efficient than democracy. Depending on the house organization, there might be an equivalent mental load for the man, but I believe it is rarer and rarer.
- I viscerally hate this man/woman’s task division. If one likes a task the other despise, let them do it.
- The way men suffer from this is that they are seen as unreliable, lazy child. Gosh how I hate that.
- In my couple I have to struggle to take charge of some tasks, like the laundry. Not struggle against myself or societal pressure, but struggle against my partner who wants to remain in control of them. She knows she hasn’t to bear this alone, she knows we can share the load, but she has to struggle against her education, and It is difficult, it is hard.
What do you think? Am I being a stupid dick?

There are some pretty awesome people here on G+, defending splendid values of tolerance and inclusivity, sharing either intimate experiences or very refined and educating us all. I’ve learned much from them. But even awesome people missteps sometimes. I am aware of two occurrences of this on G+. I didn’t see the backlash, I can only imagine. Both times the problematic messages were deleted, I can only presume by the author.
Everybody makes mistakes. Even big mistakes. Nobody is perfect, even if you hold yourself at very high standards. I have no idea if erasing the awkward post is the best way to go. On one hand, it removes frictions, misunderstandings, things one might regret and sometimes needlessly hurtful expressions. But it also remove the sign that nobody is perfect, that to err is human. Even for the best of us. The removal also illustrates the power of negative pressures, internal and external, I am uncomfortable with that.
All in all, I just don’t know. But I wanted to share this.
And, Awesome People? We need you!

So let's say someone mentions an abusive person is in our midst...
Originally shared by Brie “Beau” Sheldon
So let's say someone mentions an abusive person is in our midst...
(trust me, they exist.)
What do you do if you don't know who it is?
When someone tweets or subtweets about abusive behavior (or even just stale bagel behavior (prejudice)) and how people are contributing to it or allowing it to happen, and you aren't sure what they're talking about, or if you're worried it might be you allowing it to happen, check in!
As someone who does check in, here's what I do.
I respond to them: "Please let me know if it involves me!"
No persistence, no "reassure me," no advance apology. Just "hey, am I missing something?" This puts little weight on them, but opens up a window for them to share with you and make our environment safer.
We are not free of abusers - we as the collective of everyone I know and who they know and so on - and we shouldn't pretend that we are, and we should be prepared to deal with it when the time comes that someone mentions it or reveals the abuser's identity.
The reality is that we need to be willing to acknowledge that
1) we may be in contact with an abuser
2) we may need to find out that they are an abuser
3) we may need to accept that they are an abuser (without demanding such evidence, without expectation of validation)
4) we may (and should) offer at least some degree of support and understanding to the survivor(s)
5) we may need to decide whether we keep in contact with them, and in what context
6) we may need to tell them why we are breaking contact with them (which may ONLY be safe for people with privilege, and ONLY is okay if we have permission from the survivor(s) and are sure they will not be harmed for this explanation) or choosing to keep it confidential
7) we may need to take responsibility for staying in contact with them, because it may enable them to further abuse people, manipulate people, and continue to alienate those who have been through abuse - who are most at risk
8) we may need to sacrifice something of our own to protect others
...but honestly, I don't think anyone will do that. But we can try.

Truth is that thing which empowers us to do even better than we are already doing, which by the way is fine, we are doing fine, truth is the wind in our sails that blows only for us. So when a rumor makes you doubt us, us up here, it is therefore not true, since we have already defined truth as that thing which helps us win. Therefore, if you want to know what is true, simply ask what is best. Best for us, all of us. Do you get our drift?"

Je viens de lire Channel Fear S01E02.
Je viens de lire Channel Fear S01E02... Cela me fait cogiter dans plein de directions différentes. (Mes joueurs vous voudrez peut-être passer ce qui suit pour éviter tout spoil.)
Pour moi c'est, encore plus que le S01E01, un puzzle à résoudre dans le noir. Je ne vois pas comment, en jouant "honnêtement", c'est à dire sans aider les joueuses, sans user de Genre Savyness / Medium Awareness, on peut arriver vraiment au bout autrement que par hasard (encore moins en 2h de jeu), par force brute (exhaustion des possibilités), que par juste utiliser la seule issue possible sans savoir quoi/pourquoi/comment. Et donc pour moi un exercice de frustration.
Si vous l’avez lu ou, encore mieux, fait jouer, qu’en pensez-vous ? (Et sinon, j’écoute votre avis quand même parce que vous avez certainement déjà connu des situations similaires, non ?)

Quand même le dictionnaire est sexiste :
(extrait)
*AMBASSADRICE, subst. fém.*
a) Rare. Femme ayant même titre et même fonction qu'un ambassadeur;
b) Épouse de l'ambassadeur.
B.− Au fig.
1. Subst. (masc., plus rarement fém.)
a) Lang. cour. ou littér.
− [En parlant d'une pers.] Celui, celle qui est chargé(e) par un particulier d'une mission, d'une démarche quelconque ou qui représente simplement une autre personne, une collectivité, une valeur.
Alors oui, c'est factuel, cela décrit les textes émis par notre société. Mais c'est également une recommandation, on consulte le dictionnaire pour comprendre, mais aussi pour écrire, et là grrr.
(Et non seulement c'est sexiste, mais c'est étheronormatif.)
Des professions moins prestigieuses n'ont pas droit à ces finesses, comme bûcheron-bûcheronne. (Je vous avoue que ce n'est pas facile de trouver des professions dont l'orthographe est différente selon le genre (pas comme secrétaire) et dont la répartition par genre dans un corpus de texte est équivalente à celle d'ambassadeur.drice (pas comme ouvrier.ère trop égal ou éboueur.euse ou le féminin est à la limite d'exister.)) Pas plus que quand la situation est inversée, comme diéticienne.cien. (En bonus je remarque qu'alors que la proportion de diététicienne est de 99%, le mot occupe seulement 52% du corpus.)
(Oui, c'est mineur, d'accord. Mais c'est un pierre à l'édifice. Et si on pouvait s'épargner ce genre de choses...)
(Ne me dites pas que "rare" est là pour aider à la compréhension d'un texte étant donné les deux sens, car à Ambassadeur il n'est même pas indiqué "Époux d'un ambassadeur ou d'une ambassadrice.")

(Je vous avoue que ce n'est pas facile de trouver des professions dont l'orthographe est différente selon le genre (pas comme secrétaire) et dont la répartition par genre dans un corpus de texte est équivalente à celle d'ambassadeur.drice (pas comme ouvrier.ère trop égal ou éboueur.euse ou le féminin est à la limite d'exister.)) Pas plus que quand la situation est inversée, comme diéticienne.cien. (En bonus je remarque qu'alors que la proportion de diététicienne est de 99%, le mot occupe seulement 52% du corpus.)
(Oui, c'est mineur, d'accord. Mais c'est un pierre à l'édifice. Et si on pouvait s'épargner ce genre de choses...)
(Ne me dites pas que "rare" est là pour aider à la compréhension d'un texte étant donné les deux sens, car à Ambassadeur il n'est même pas indiqué "Époux d'un ambassadeur ou d'une ambassadrice.")

Artéfact : Sceptre Royal de Glace de châtiment
Artéfact : Sceptre Royal de Glace de châtiment
Cet sceptre porte au sommet une gemme d'une eau très claire (valeur 5.000 PO) sur un manche grossièrement sculpté de la silhouette d'une antédiluvienne Reine-Sorcière et de motifs géométrique. Il est chaud au toucher et très lisse, étrangement léger. Activé, il émet un chant magique (Leh thÿtte gauld) tonitruant et la gemme rayonne de lumière aveuglante. Toutes les créatures à portée du chant subissent une pénalité de -2 à tous leurs jets et doivent effectuer un jp contre les baguettes ou subir 2d8/1d4 dégât. Toutefois, celles qui entonnent le chant magique à l'unisson du sceptre sont immunisée à ces effets. Toute les créatures prises dans la zone de la lumière (cone de 20" de long et 10" de large) et faisant face au sceptre doivent réussir un jp contre les baguettes ou être Aveuglées pour la durée ou elles restent dans la zone plus 1d6 tours. Toutes les créatures prises à la fois dans les deux effets doivent réussir un jet de sauvegarde contre la paralysie ou être Confus tant qu'elles restent dans une des zones d'effet du sceptre +1d6 tour.
Plus sérieusement, y'en a qui exercent leur malveillance à travers la fabrication et la vente de jouets. Des trucs pareils devraient être interdits et ceux qui les colportent châtiés.
J'ai pu objectivement observer (et subir) les effets décrits.
Dans un autre système, ce serait 1d8/1d4 de SAN, j'en suis sûr.

Après deux ans de campagne de Vampire la Mascarade je me suis mis à décortiquer mes parties de pour mieux comprendre les différences entre une "bonne" et une "mauvaise" partie. Peut être qu'un jour je trouverais la recette de la partie parfaite, en tout cas le drama semble être un bon ingrédient.

À défaut de pouvoir accéder à de vrais accessoires, des vraies armes hybridées avec des accessoires d'airsoft (légalement considérés comme jouets), pour le look ou pour la fonctionnalité ?

”When a game master rolls a 4 sided die and tells the players what will happen next, the players already know how to argue against the roll of a 4 sided die. Consequently, heated discussions quickly follow.
When the game master uses the D-Total, he has 13 elements of information available on the face of every die. Even if his players know how to read the D-Total, they don’t know which of its 13 different faces, the game master is using, so they have little or no argument to change the game masters pronouncement.“
Well, well, well.

The talented French artist Guillaume Tavernier is crowdfunding an artbook that collects some of his fantastic plans. The crowdfunding is quickly successful,and right now you'll get a pdf with 34 plans + a 2 level dungeon for 8€/$8,77 (US). 16€+6€ fur US shipping, so around $35, for the printed artbook + pdf. Of course, there will be some (very leettle) pesky french text, but who cares?

Quel cachotier ce Guillaume Tavernier, il ne nous dit pas ici sur G+ qu'il a lancé une campagne de foulancement pour un artbook avec ses superbes plans. 16€ (+4 à 6€ de frais de port) pour l'artbook et le pdf, 8€ pour le pdf seul, avec au moins 64 pages / 32 plans. (Là maintenant on en est à 36 plans + 1 donjon sur 2 niveaux.)
(Petite demande personnelle : dis, Mr Tavernier, par rapport au proto, tu retirerais pas le cadre pour donner encore plus d'ampleur au plan ? Parce que moi c'est vraiment lui qui m'intéresse.)

Les vrais dragons, les Grands Rêveurs reviennent, et peu de choses troublent leur sommeil.
Les vrais dragons, les Grands Rêveurs reviennent, et peu de choses troublent leur sommeil. C'est la réédition de Rêve de Dragon, le jeu de rôle de Denis Gerfaud à la saveur inimitée. Bien que son époque de conception soit lisible dans ses règles, c'est pour moi un véritable classique qui ne peut pas vieillir. Il explore des voies de jeu et de conception d'une manière unique, des directions restées inexplorées par les autres jeux, sans raisons aucune si ce ne sont les aléas de la hype. Un peu un Tesla du jdr.
Il s'agit d'une quasi-réédition de la v2, de ce que j'ai pu lire elle est réorganisée, compile des éléments qui avaient été épars, bouscule peut-être un peu la matérialisation de la règle, mais respecte le jeu original. Une intégrale commentée et agrémentée.
Et, ô bonheur suprême, il y a des options pdf très raisonnables :) alors que ce foulancement emprunte avec mesure le chemin du jdr de luxe - les porteurs du projet veulent nous proposer de beaux ouvrages, mais sans gadget inutiles.
Le tout mené par le Scriptarium.
(Je ne dois pas être le seul à m'emballer, le seuil de réussite du projet a été franchi en 2h, les deux premiers paliers atteints en 5h.)

So S. John Ross you have this poll that I can't answer because I don't know what kind of game balance you're asking about. Is it on purpose?
