Tabletop RPG

Hi Charlie!

So. This is my first (and hopefully not the last) post.            BUT NO TIME FOR DIGRESSIONS!

Like the little dwarves that we are it is time to dig right in!

So…     Tabletop RPG (Role Play Games for the beginners) is one of my numerous passions and it is weirdly known. A lot of people know the concept but a very few people actually plays or know at least the basis.

If you are completely new to the concept here is how it plays out:

For a good RPG session, you need:

-          A table (hopefully everyone here has that because after a moment your back hurts if you stay on

the floor)

-          A GM which stands for Game Master

-          A group of players

-          Add some Character sheets

-          The rule books

-          Some dices and just some random monopoly dices you need to get these bad boys:

 a d6                                  a d4

 a d12                                a d8

 a d10                             

and if add both you have a d100

a d20                             and all of                            my tiny babies :3

            The Holy Dice Pouch

-          A lot of time, and a sprinkle of planning management

And…

if you’re feeling dangerous…

-          Snacks

Let me explain the specific words I’ve just mentioned.

The players, they are playing (thanks captain obvious) their own characters which they create with the help of the handy dandy “Character sheet” these contains all of the things there are to know of the character. the stats, the back story, the traits, the physical descriptions, his possessions… EVERYTHING

Then you have The GM or DM (Game Master or Dungeon Master) this person is the guy that is the most important with the players. The GM creates and plays everything that is not the characters. Some sort of god because since the GM has absolute control on his creation the GM is, therefore, the bartender, the sun that covers the horizon, the arrow that lands in the adventurer’s knee, the rock that falls and that everyone dies under. EVERYTHING.

The GM has to create a whole bunch of stats and he has notes to keep track of everything but he also has the rule books because such a task is almost impossible and waaaaaaayyyy too time consuming.

And the basis is that every game is different because other players and GM are running it but the “game” that changes is the rule book you use, there are more than numerous the most famous ones being DnD, Path finders, Call of Cthulhu…

And for thins the players have to take some time creating their sheets and the DM the world, the session and reading the rule books WHICH ARE PRINTED IN PAGES FORMAT A3 AND ARE FROM 400 TO 600 PAGES LONG!!!! AND THERE ARE GENERALLY 3 OF THOSE!!!!!!!!         ;3;

But that’s just for the DM…

That’s all for now and in my next post I will talk a bit about my personal experience and the multiple advantages and disadvantages that brings this type of gaming.

I invite you to give me some feedback if you want to know anything or a special type of post about your interrogations about tabletop rpg

PS If anyone is interested in starting this confusing hobby. Well first you can go and talk to me about it, second it is hard to navigate through and third I recommend you to start with some youtube series to get the general idea of the thing “Critical role” the series or the one-shots. (if you don’t have too much time I suggest the red nose day one-shot on the critical role channel)

PS, PS if anyone knows already about it or is interested in starting go and talk to me it would be my pleasure to start a campaign and/or form a group
