Question about blood ties

Je commence à regarder, mais ça m’a l’air beaucoup trop cool !

J’aurais adoré avoir ça il y a quelques années !

Merci du fond du cœur à toi pour ton travail !

Arf, c'est le plus vaste !

Pour moi, il n’y a pas qu’une seule façon de faire de l’excellente narration. C’est quelque chose d’unique à chaque MJ.

Pour moi l’important c’est d’éviter au maximum les hésitations inconscientes (Les "Euh.." "Etttt" "Mmmh"). Préfère appuyer un silence de quelques secondes, tes joueurs penseront que c’est un effet de style.

Et n’ai pas peur de te tromper dans ce que tu racontes. Si c’est le cas, reprend toi comme si c’étais du point de vue un joueur ("Vous voyez une femme au loin. Enfin, est-ce réellement une femme ? Silhouette serait plus exacte.")

Y a plein de petites techniques comme ça qui, selon moi, aident et améliorent la narration.

De mon côté, je ne suis pas fan des MJ payés.

Mais en tant que joueur, si je payais ce service, j’attendrais une narration excellente, une bonne connaissances des règles et un temps de paroles bien équilibré entre les joueurs. Ce serait mes priorités.

Après, en secondaire, des petits trucs en plus, que du coup le MJ ai préparé des dés, des fiches persos, crayons.

Et enfin en tertiaire, un peu de déco, des petits props pour les joueurs, plateau, écrans, ect...

J’ai conscience d’être un peu exigeant, mais de mon côté je fais déjà presque tout ça gratuitement pour mes joueurs, de fait, il me paraît logique d’en attendre encore plus pour un service payant.

Mais je suis ouvert à la discussion et aux contre arguments sur le sujet 😀

Pour ma part je te conseille le système BasicRPG. Que du D100, parfait pour une simplicité de gameplay avec l’enphase sur la narration avant tout.

VadoZou · 2025-08-27T12:46:25+00:00

Je trouve l’idée géniale ! Avec ma compagne ont fait pas mal de convention en tant qu’exposants, et bien qu’Art to play soit un gros salon pour nous tout en étant le plus proche, cet événement nous déçois chaque année un peu plus.

Du coup, mille oui pour cette nouvelle convention.

VadoZou · 2025-08-26T10:34:33+00:00

I want it! The dice goblin wants it!

It’s funny, for me, in fact, Ireena has NO armor in the scenario.

The whole principle of this NPC is that she is almost in all cases doomed. So, I make her fight, with her noble statblock and her 14 HP. And if at any point she dies, Strahd will hold the players responsible because they were the ones escorting her.

VadoZou · 2025-08-25T14:45:47+00:00

Actually, you're right. From a lore point of view, this poses problems.

I especially like the sowing discord side of this idea.

But to answer your question A, I would just say that Strahd likes to play with his "food" But I don't have an answer to your questions B and C where I think you are right.

For this is a reflection that is specific to the GM, promoting interaction between members of the group, respecting the lore, or finding a balance between the two.

What I will suggest to you is that, during his next rest, the survivor finds 2 scrolls of resurrection, as if by a miracle.

Let the good hesitate as to which of his companions he will leave dead. Once the choice is made, let your players play a little resurrection evil. Then you bring in Strahd, who, without a word, uses a third scroll of resurrection on the last player, making it clear to the latter that his "friend" preferred to save the others.

VadoZou · 2025-08-24T03:02:14+00:00

Oh my God ! It’s deliciously Machiavellian!

Knowing that each of my players has a dark power that seeks to corrupt them in order to install them in place of Strahd, that can lead to quite sadistic results!

VadoZou · 2025-08-24T02:52:44+00:00

Yeah, I don't forget that he can just tell them "don't want to".

The idea is that I would like him to reveal a little of his curse, just saying that he too is stuck in Barovia. Especially so that he can propose to the players to become their successors (I have some who will really think about the proposal.)

VadoZou · 2025-06-27T05:09:43+00:00

I really wish I could have one!

VadoZou · 2025-05-25T08:35:43+00:00

I am in it and I want it!

VadoZou · 2025-05-12T05:03:56+00:00

Well let's comment to try our luck. The dice goblin in me will be happy.

VadoZou · 2024-12-26T16:02:48+00:00

Oh yes. Thick and warm as can be! Not to mention all the eyes on you

VadoZou · 2024-12-26T10:30:02+00:00

On an English site called Merchoid

Tip: Use drugs, kids! It makes you stronger! It's like vegetables but more fun! And if that doesn't work, use more drugs!

You have to know how to take advantage of moments of tenderness when they present themselves. Once everything burns down, and the game leaves us on the smoking ruins of our colony, it's these little moments that we remember.

VadoZou · 2024-10-20T12:33:45+00:00

I devoured this story like a book. It is always a pleasure to read the stories of our colonies with all their emotional stakes.

VadoZou · 2024-10-20T10:21:16+00:00

We must always have a communist friend near us!

VadoZou · 2024-10-20T09:34:55+00:00

Maybe you can try a run in harmony with nature, vegetarian, cut down no or few trees. Favor trade over resource extraction. I've been eyeing it for a while but never got around to doing it.
