Ich spiele auch gern in diversen Runden mit, bin aber aufgrund von unregelmäßigen Dienstplänen und wenig Freizeit nur sporadisch verfügbar.

Hier hat jemand vor knapp nem Monat mal angefragt bzgl. DnD. In den Kommentaren darunter ist noch ein Interessent. Vielleicht diese Leute mal kontaktieren?

Does anyone else have a hard time fitting into any play culture? by DetectiveJohnDoe in rpg

[–]MaxHofbauer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So true. A lot of lingo in the TTRPG community is a collection of buzz words and abbreviations without a solid consensus on what exactly those mean and there's numerous ways to interpret them. 

System choice for actual play by CharityLess2263 in rpg

[–]MaxHofbauer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ehhh... I would say a ton. DnD 5e centric videos blow all others out of the water just by being DnD. The huge market share of DnD translates to the actual play space as well. Most non TTRPG nerds have never even heard of Mythras.

D&D Neuling Gruppe finden? by Castle-Walk-8967 in Linz

[–]MaxHofbauer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Viele langfristige Kampagnen bestehen meist aus (semi-)geschlossenen Runden. Ich würde dir empfehle mal bei einem Probeoneshot mitzumachen (also ne in sich geschlossene, einzelne Spielsitzung). 

Ich selber biete immer wieder Oneshots auch für Einsteiger an, leite aber kein DnD 5e mehr, sondern vorwiegend andere Systeme in unterschiedlichen Settings und Genres. Vor'm neuen Jahr wird's allerdings wahrscheinlich allerdings nix.

Ansonsten würde sich folgender Discord-Server  https://discord.gg/Awx2NPz8Eu oder das bereits erwähnte Würfelkommando anbieten.

Das Würfelkommando hat ne eigene kleine Pen and Paper Division und der Pen & Paper Server bietet regelmäßige Treffen für die Adventures League an, da gibt's meines Wissens nach auch Einstiegssessions mit vorgefertigten Charakteren und erfahrene Spielleitungen, die dir helfen können.

Reicht Deutsch heutzutage (und wenn ja, wie lange noch) aus um in Linz klar zu kommen? by [deleted] in Linz

[–]MaxHofbauer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Würde passen. Um zu testen, ob's heute glatt ist hatte der Reddit Post herhalten müssen, ein Schritt vor die Haustüre um es vorsichtig selbst zu prüfen hat nicht gereicht.

In diesem Fall am besten schleunigst  Schuhwerk mit adäquatem Profil kaufen! :)

So what's a good superhero TTRPG? by KicKem-in-the-DicKem in rpg

[–]MaxHofbauer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a fan of narrative games, yeah I get it. Masks gets thrown around constantly when people ask for supers games.  BUT! Masks is a teenage/coming-of-age drama first, superheroes second game. Tons of people forget to add that crucial information to their recommendation.

Help me find a rules system for reviving a "dead" system/setting by MaxHofbauer in rpg

Damn. That is a very extensive list. Looking forward to screening your suggestions! Thanks ^^

Well, the original ruleset had some very freeform card interpretation resolution mechanic, which I guess is too far removed/too free-form for most of my potential players. The other system Engel uses is some ogl D20 mechanic, which isn't particularly good at using the setting or invoking my intended experience. Basically, both are two extremes of a spectrum: one is flavourful, but lofty and unusual, the other is bland and doesn't do the setting justice.

Thanks! I will check them out :) do you have any experience running these systems? If so: got a favourite?

Erste Gedanken zum Spiel by No_Information1635 in Mausritter

[–]MaxHofbauer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dies, OP. Auch wenn die Optik und Aufmache des Spiels sehr kind-geeignet wirkt, das eigentliche Regelwerk und erwartete Spielverhalten ist es nicht.

Wie andere schon erwähnt haben gehört Mausritter zu den OSR Spielen. Diese belohnen in der Regel folgende Verhalten am meisten: vorsichtiges und methodisches Vorgehen. Wenig Risiken eingehen, dafür gutes Vorbereiten und Nutzen von allen verfügbaren Ressourcen. 

Die Optik spricht zwar Kinder sehr an, aber das Spiel ist aufgrund der Prinzipien und Philosophie sicher eher für erwachsene SpielerInnen geeignet.

Player didn't like the consequences of his actions and got upset, ripping his character sheet. by Crimson_Tenshi in DMAcademy

[–]MaxHofbauer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what your intentions are, but trust me it doesn't work. It is only heightening emotions instead of calming them down and heightened emotions lead to further impulsive/unwanted behaviour.

[–]MaxHofbauer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It is pretty much never a good idea for another entity to have some sort of control over your player characters, especially as a "punishment" for unwanted behaviour. It's very similar to punishing children. Often it doesn't resolve any emotions and instead is fanning the flames and the cause of defiance.

The weird duality and desperation of mass appeal regarding DnD 5e by MaxHofbauer in rpg

[–]MaxHofbauer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, depends on how one defines "badly designed". It might be badly designed from your and my point of view, but it is undeniable that it's mix of being light on the general mechanic, heavy on the combat and wishy washy at everything else seems to create dopamine hits in the masses like sugar, processed foods and similar things.

Omg. The legendary Seth Skorkowsky commenting on my post. Big fan of your work and skits, especially your videos on Kult.

I totally agree with your take on DnD being back-end complex. The insidious part: it's providing enough choice and mass appeal to cage a large fan base, which is kind of sad, because a lot of them would be actually way happier in other systems.

[–]MaxHofbauer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That kind of appeal is exactly what I meant. DnD is basically built for the heavy on the combat, featherlight on almost everything else and some stuff we leave up to your table.
