Goy Hook Up Places In Raleigh Nc

Still Life Fallout: Nuka Break

low budget short film and the fallout in the atmosphere. From the technical and narrative as such production is impressive. Excellent treat for all fans of the game [Although I do not know if only for them;)]



If liked this movie I recommend the earlier productions Beyond Black Mesa , based on the game Half Life.

Military rations made in Poland

Previously on my blog published a note on the military, the American ration, which went into my hands. I invite interested here. This time I'll look for a package coming from the home country and what feed our soldiers.

is precisely because of the dry S-5 packaged in foil with khaki. The content of this ration:



-two cans, one of the pate, the other with ham (probably chicken, but it's hard to determine, both have plastic lids for to close after opening the lid);



-four biscuits, which are personally most of my church friends loved the whole set come terribly hard;

-lethally sweet condensed milk in a tube;

-portions of coffee as instant tea and as well as instant distasteful;

-portion of sugar to sweeten beverages;



-serving company Tymbark honey;

-sweet fruity and coffee, chewing gum;

-moistened napkin, toilet paper, matches and foil bag (garbage?);

-set of disposable cutlery (a dangerous weapon in the hands of an experienced soldier.)

Personally, if I were to compare the reasons Polish American, I must say that unfortunately fell a foreign product that is more to my liking in terms of taste and aesthetics. I must admit that their main function, which is to ensure an adequate amount of calories meets perfectly but the set looks as if pulled from the communist era.

After reviewing the contents of the other sets, I conclude that they are monotonous and not very diverse. The soldier's place I would choose a meal made in the USA where he has a choice of over 20 different sets in this version, even for vegetarians.

next time I'll have to try to get food rations from the chemical heater to cook a hot meal. Well, the best chocolate disk that was in the American version. In addition, also learned about the existence of French and British, who supposedly is even better than American.

handful of ideas for places that We know

I had the opportunity to read dozens of different scenarios to role-playing games, but only a few I led. The reasons were various, and rather it is not, the quality of the same scenarios. Because I just play in another system, or do not fit into the campaign of played out. However, always read the scenarios capture the interesting ideas, topics, scenes, descriptions of places and even write in a specially reserved for that minikajeciku. Then I use more than once in their sessions. So instead of a scenario will share a few ideas that I will be illustrated with examples from their own sessions.

with a dedication to Jaras
first patent, which have not once heard given, as a matter of course to save his own and one's ideas on later . Especially when watching movies or reading books. I even wear your notebook to class or work, sometimes is useful.

My second proposal is played at the session, which is known to us and our players. The club, workplace, school, pub, theater, hospital. Long might have been exchanged. Those of us use in our sessions, we introduce to them the characters and let's make our colleagues began to look at them in new ways. An additional advantage is that the players knowing these places often pile their ideas such as "I know that the neighborhood is a shop, so I'm going to buy .."
system that best suited to that I think is "The Call of Cthulhu", but fought well during the session also NWoD, Vampire, Werewolf. Did not use this at this point in cyberpunk, but I think that it would not be a problem.

This need not necessarily be a place where you live. Are you away somewhere with the players, whether in the mountains or at the convention, and they want you to do something he led? Lead them to sessions in a place where you are using things that had a chance to see. If it does not fit into the campaign was conducted by proposes to play jednostrzałówkę.

I will use an example of my session, when the players sought Zevi younger cousin of one of the characters. The trail led to one of the university, which some players attend. Before the session I went to this place in search of inspiration. Even after the entry into one corner I saw a wooden sculpture of men facing in four directions. I think that the artist was inspired by the Slavic god Światowidzie. I decided that my players will meet in session with the cult of the Slavic gods residing in the university. Students, professors, the lady from the dean's office, were all implicated in it.

In turn, the next session of the balance went to other universities, which also attended by my players. At the entrance stood a statue of a jaguar. The animal is more fit than the Aztec mythology, Slavic, so I decided not to use this item. But on the first floor was a small exhibition of statues depicting human figures or faces connected to the gear wheels, or iron (What the artists did not invent). During the sessions in these fetishes were trapped souls of people who already know something about the cult, and they should not. In this way, the great scene where the players try after performing the ritual to extract information from figures, which are mutually przekrzykiwały and begging for release.

Pokemon version of Cthulhu
further searched a few places in which my colleagues have never been, but we hit them there characters. Surely each of you despite the fact that sometimes a daily basis in a shop / supermarket was never on his back, or never was in the basement, where he works. Meeting the shop may be a meeting place for the black market, or a magazine for the filthy artifacts. Basement - catacombs, in which so easily get lost, a place where they suspected human experiments, full of deformed beings. In one such meeting the players found in jars of strange creatures and vile forms (remember to frequently during sessions Cthulu often use the word filthy), old books written in an incomprehensible language, symbols on the walls and floor. So everything should be found in the seat of a dark cult.

One of the tricks, which creates a great atmosphere in the sessions of ZC is brought before them, inexplicable phenomena. Based on the same well-known popular television series LOST. Whole seasons where people are waiting for a reply, which never really had to get. Well, when even getting in its place appeared the next two puzzles.

My players have been in contact with such a situation, when they came to one of the lectures to ask a few questions, the professor. This, however, asked them not to disturb him in the class and waited outside until the end. The players waited for him for very long, and finally looked in the hall, which turned out to be empty. Thoroughly searched every corner, but from the hall there was no other way besides guarded by them. To tweak a little more atmosphere at the desk were the spectacles through which the eyes could see the places students swaying shadows of people.

phenomenon could be explained a ritual or a secret passage, but only later with the development of the investigation. Let the players get over this head. The game does not get stuck in place and the players by the end of the session did not try to unravel the mystery, which even I do not know the answer pushed a little action. The room came another professor with students who had to lead the next lecture. The players showered him dozens of questions that could not answer. Shadows, which tried to show him gone. The only information we have drawn from the professor that if you want to meet the doctor to go to the dean's office.

Well, looks like the ladies from the dean's office everyone knows. However, if someone does not know enough to see a pair of clips on You Tube and enter the Dean's Office. I write only so much that while players have won the address of a professor, but after leaving the dean's office thought only how to kill the nice lady behind the desk, and after the sessions were convinced that it is she is at the forefront of all this intrigue, or even the incarnation of the Eternal. The role of this form in the absence of the dean's office, you can always put a guard or a security guard or receptionist who has a strictly necessary information.

second such situation was when you found the corpse of a man. There would be nothing unusual had just before 5 minutes had not mentioned them a few sentences and let them through the intercom. Well, and when one player was with him alone rose from his chair and grabbed his hand. The story ended when the player's character driven back by ambulance to the hospital because of heart attack. For players not too attracted to unraveling the mystery of the deceased I make the body disappeared. Besides, even later imparted to another scene in which was equipped with a pair of extra tentacles.

proceed to the next question. Players came to the professor's house, broke into it and thoroughly searched. In the basement they found a pale figure of a woman, umazanej blood, with abnormally long fingernails and feet ... just bane of Slavic beliefs. Then somehow my players would not interfere with abnormality of women, despite giving them several times to know that it breached its space is not a good idea. Bane killed when the characters and the players went to the house, being sure that this is the end of the game and for the week doing new characters. But at the next session I gave them a penalty as the police, which reported seeing a woman break into his neighbor. On the spot they found a remarkable mess of burglary, three corpses in the basement. Three dead after seeing that I figured out that just found their old characters. Regrets that I did not have the camera then, because the players faces were priceless. But it is important to describe everything in such a way that players are seeing the body just figured out who they are denaci.

Completion takes place at a well-known to us, oak. My whole team, not once sat in this tree to talk, spending time with friends. At a session at this point cultists summoning ritual celebrated Abhoth (sect alone can not fully know what it invokes, only that something powerful.) Retrieved from impurities appeared springs from tree holes, on the occasion of consuming a few cultists. Players finally succeeded with the help of a few police officers to perform the ritual banishing idol and catch part of the cultists. At the end of p rzełożony, after reading the report devoted to him players and police officers who survived, he had a safe holiday to a psychiatric institution.

Summary of 2010

If someone is interested concrete summary of what was happening on stage, I recommend a note with RPG Roleplaying Games . There has been said a lot more than I would be able to write. Therefore, like other bloggers, I will focus more on how to complete this year for my group.

As usual, I forgot to count taking place sessions. But I can say that once a week, sometimes more, sometimes less, an average of about 50 meetings.

systems that drove:

Vampire: The Requiem (in climates of Norse mythology),
DeathPunk author (cyberpunk with the zombies on the mechanics of Savage Worlds),
Neuroshima (single- story),
Cold City,
Monastir: Against the First Commandment, Call of Cthulhu
.

Apart from that I played as a player:

Ariel (Commander of the space ship Hazatów)
Pandora's Effect (author of Dead Space in the atmosphere).


hit this year's session proved to Savage Worlds. Besides the sessions GS I liked the game introduced by master of the new simple rules such as the space battles and maneuvers of troops as a commander. Something like additional mini-games.

Running on Pandora, I have to commend the game for the preparation of a master. Plans for the interior of vessels, hand drawings of monsters, letters, cards, forms. All what I do not do due to lack of time and artistic talent. I guess I'll have to rent it for the preparation of materials for my sessions. Like little things and build great atmosphere.

At the beginning and end of the year the team consisted of seven people. However, its composition in the meantime had greatly changed. Three people have gone, in their place two new and one returning player who played with us before.

participated in the two conventions and Copernikon Pyrkonie. The two most successful trips. Although in no I was not able to take part in any larpie. At least for Pyrkonie played sessions. That's when I and a few other sessions I realized how very different to our style of play teams from other players. Later I met a problem on the other hand, when I accepted the players already playing somewhere else. It's hard to say whether the way we play is worse or better, but you get used to new customs, and sometimes you can pick up interesting ideas.

As for the Blog of the joy I have to say that he has fulfilled his role. Ie. forcing myself to write and promote the entertainment, which is among my RPG friends. Although this caused a problem, which formerly was not able to imagine that is an excess of players. More and more people are asking for the opportunity to play, and I have refused because of lack of vacancies and lack of time to lead the second team. By the way these people do not yet know how thin I was GM, and probably because they want to play with me;)

This year I would like to dream RPG:

further promote RPG among friends. Create a second group playing in an RPG. One in which I was not looking, or I mg, and that quite regularly met. So to split the current group and have room for new players.

Run sessions at the convention, to take larpie share, maybe even someone to go along with a lecture. And of course to know more people playing RPG and bloggers.

is enough, I wish you all that this year was better than all the previous and you might be able to develop their hobby.
