Download or read book Epic Role Playing Rules Manual written by Chris Organ and published by Dark Matter Studios LLC. This book was released on 2005-12-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epic Role Playing is a next generation RPG that contains intense, choice-filled combat, six innovative branches of magic, and culture-based character development. After an introductory chapter, the Epic Role Playing Rules Manual guides players through a wide-ranging and unique character creation process, which births culturally driven, diverse heroes unconstrained by classes or inflexible tracks of progress. Character professions (detailed in the Atlas of Eslin, Volume I) are culturally defined and growth within them is guided by role playing not a rigid set of rules. Following chapters include the faculty system, which offers opportunities to explore an inexhaustible array of skill options, specialties, masteries and grandmasteries. Instead of characters defined by an overall skill level, each skill level is independent and improves according to the character's talent for that skill. This is followed by a detailed catalogue of equipment. In its chapters for the gamemaster, or "Guide," practical tools and storytelling advice are discussed for creating heroic adventures that will have players swooning with terror and scrambling for glory. The final chapters are a treasury chock-full of high-quality and imbued items and rules for large-scale battle and warfare. The Epic Rules Manual makes gaming easier with numerous quick reference boxes, a glossary, ready-to-use forms, and integration with www.epicrpg.com. This book is one of four core rulebooks for use with the Epic Role Playing game system.

Download or read book Role Playing Materials written by Rafael Bienia and published by Zauberfeder Verlag. This book was released on 2016-04-11 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Dissertation Role Playing Materials untersucht die materielle Seite von Larp, Mixed Reality und Pen'n'Paper Rollenspielen. Wie kooperieren Gewandung, Virtuelle-Realität-Brille, oder ein Bleistift mit Erzählung und Spielregeln? Neben Antworten auf diese Frage versucht das Buch das Verständnis von Rollenspiel als eine Handlung zu erweitern, die nicht nur von Menschen geprägt wird. Role Playing Materials examines how larp, mixed and tabletop role-playing games work. Costumes, computers, pen and paper are not passive elements. Materials change and are changed during role-playing game sessions, because they work together with narrative and ludic elements. If we think about materials as social elements, how do they make role-playing games work? To answer this question, Role Playing Materials draws on ethnographic fieldwork among role-playing communities in Germany. The analysis draws upon the fields of game studies, and science, technology and society studies.

Download or read book The Role Playing Society written by Andrew Byers and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the release of Dungeons & Dragons in 1974, role-playing games (RPGs) have spawned a vibrant industry and subculture whose characteristics and player experiences have been well explored. Yet little attention has been devoted to the ways RPGs have shaped society at large over the last four decades. Role-playing games influenced video game design, have been widely represented in film, television and other media, and have made their mark on education, social media, corporate training and the military. This collection of new essays illustrates the broad appeal and impact of RPGs. Topics range from a critical reexamination of the Satanic Panic of the 1980s, to the growing significance of RPGs in education, to the potential for "serious" RPGs to provoke awareness and social change. The contributors discuss the myriad subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways in which the values, concepts and mechanics of RPGs have infiltrated popular culture.
