Dancing on the edge of a new life

Image
A small upadte from me, as I'm getting ready for my flight to Armenia. In a few days from now I'll be starting a new chapter of my life. In less than a week I'm getting married. Not gonna lie, I am stressed a bit, but also insanely happy. This will be a whole new experience, and I'm very, very glad to share it with the woman of my life. Life's good sometimes! Given the importance of this event I wanted to also take stock of my hobby endeavors, and to thank a couple of people, without whom I would not be where I am today. Artwork by Baron Von Klatz, whom I also wanted to thank for being a fantastic sport! First of all I want to thank my beloved fiancee, Lia. You're the best that ever happened to me baby, never forget about that. I love you forever and a day. I wanted to thank Marcin and Krzysiek for sticking with me for the last decade. Without you guys I would probably not remained in this fantastic hobby, and it's great to have you as my ...

Role-playing Rants: How to best immerse yourself in the game?

Image
I've finally managed to get through my writer's block. Without further ado I give you another one of my RPG rants, this time about a very important thing - immersion. I will be mainly using the example of my most often played title - Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. Also take note - this article is not for veterans, who have decades of RP'ing behind them, and know every trick in the book. As most of my posts of this type, I am aiming it towards those who are new to the hobby, who only begin to experience it, and could use any help in doing so. I see a lot of people lately, just starting with RPG's and not knowing almost anything about this hobby. If posts like this one will help them, then I know that my work is worth something. Helping others is always cool (image taken from 'Souls Comprehensive Roleplay Guide) So... how to immerse yourself during a game? The more important question is: should you immerse yourself at all? Personally I wouldn't be regularl...

My hobby summary of 2018. What lies ahead?

Image
Another year, another mark. 2018 was very a hobby-heavy period for me, but I'm not complaining. In fact I can't wait for the 2019, as it promises a lot more action for me! First of all - I'm getting married next year. That fact alone is making me smile like a madman and I can't stress enough how happy I am about that fact. My fiancee is a wonderful human being and I'm extremely lucky to have a second half like her. This will be a completely new chapter in my life, one that I'm very keen to explore. As for the 2018 and my hobby related stuff... it was a blast. I've finished GM'ing "The Thousand Thrones" in one group (the first of my IRL groups) and "Terror in Talabheim" in the other (Roll20), together with a bunch of one-shot scenarios. Both campaigns are for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2nd edition, and both of them are long-time favorites of mine. I've also ran a demi-campaign set in Khuresh, in the far east of the Warhammer...

I've been invited to the "Mud & Blood" podcast! Also - "AWESOME LIES" is two years old!

Just a quick notice from yours truly. I've had an honor to participate in an episode of the "Mud & Blood" podcast, hosted by two excellent gentlemen - 9littlebees and Boganova. Together with the legendary Graeme Davis himself we were talking about the changes to Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay through the ages, various campaign ideas, inspirations and other things. It was a fantastic experience! Needless to say that this was a experience of a lifetime. I've had tons of fun, and being able to chat with one of the creators of my favorite role-playing system was beyond awesome. I wanted to thank Mr. Davies and our fantastic hosts for this opportunity and a chance to share my opinions and knowledge about WFRP. Thank you. Here's the episode itself, if you fancy listening to it (Apologies for not embedding it here. Seems my Google-fu is not that strong).
