Since its beginning rpg has evolved from simple miniatures combat to something that no self respecting rpg would dedicate at least a few pages to. And if the 400 pound gorilla of all Rpgs can still be considered an rpg, then this means it has taken a complete turn on itself, back to a miniatures game. There are obviously many, many rpg's that do not touch the issue of physical combat, but these

Desde os seus primórdios que o rpg evoluiu de simples jogo de combate de miniaturas, para algo que hoje em dia não passa sem ter umas páginas dedicadas ao combate. E, se o gorila de 400 kilos de todos os rpgs pode ser ainda considerado um rpg, então este deu uma volta completa e voltou a ser um jogo de miniaturas. Há obviamente muitos e vários rpg's que não tocam no assunto do combate físico, mas

This is the Age of Heroes. Carved in ash by Zeus, father of the gods, armed in bronze and tempered by the fires of Troy and Thebes which destroyed a large part of their ancestral Aqueus, it is up to the new generation of demigod heroes to decide the fate of the kingdoms of heroic Greece.Driven by the prolonged absence of their kings, lords of kingdoms such as Pylos, Mycenae and Argos, only their

Over on rpg.net people are discussing ways to adapt the excelent 3.16 game to other venues.Being the lazy, fatting, inglorious basterd that I am, I quickly jumped on the train to rescue an old idea of mine that was loosely based on Captain Tsubasa.So I bungled together these quick and dirty rules for a Tokyo Super Sports Star 316.000.Keep the Reputation, because everybody knows if you're a hot

You guys probably don't remember, but I started writing a column I tentatively named "What videogames can teach us", of which you can read the first instalment here. Please scroll down that page for the English version of the post. :-)Today I'm gonna talk about a dear game of mine, Sid Meyer's Pirates, and in my case I'm going to address specifically the PSP version.There are several mini-games

The 101 rpg is a mad game full of hyperviolent action on surreal premises. It has been tested to good effect on a couple of seperate events, and it has grown to be a good, filler, game. We hope to make it grow even more into an adult stage with this revision.However, the game has not always been like this.A while ago, say some 9 or 10 years ago, I was writting on a couple of portuguese

Esta é a Idade dos Heróis. Esculpidos em freixo por Zeus, pai dos deuses, armados em bronze e temperados pelos fogos de Tróia e de Tebas que destruíram uma grande parte dos seus ancestrais Aqueus, cabe à nova geração de semidivinos heróis decidir o destino dos reinos da Grécia Heróica. Motivados pela ausência prolongada dos seus reis, senhores de reinos tais como Pylos, Micenas e Argos, só a sua

Here I'll cover the final steps of the game, those regarding, as you might have noticed, Trust, Popularity, and Infection.Trust Through forced cooperation or friendship born from facing a common threat, players can simulate these relationships through the allocation of points of Trust.

Algo que me tem atraído nos últimos tempos, digamos nos últimos 4 ou 5 anos, é a ficção social. O termo surge pela caneta de Ursula LeGuin ao chamar ficção científica social às suas obras, porque vai beber muita da inspiração às ciências sociais, como antropologia, linguística, estudos culturais, sociologia, psicologia. No entanto, o termo é um pouco mais antigo que isso, e pode ser revisto em

Desde que comecei as minhas andanças na Internet pelos vários sites e blogues brasileiros acerca de Roleplaying Games que me tenho deparado com algumas surpresas e chegado a algumas conclusões. Além da constatação de que o Brasil tem um mundo editorial de RPG gigante (em comparação com Portugal!) e uma comunidade vibrante e interessada, dois factos que de certeza advêm da dimensão claramente
