  3. When developing your own Ruby gem, at some point you might need to make some of the parameters configurable.
    The most idiomatic and elegant way to achieve this in Ruby is global configuration using a block.
    In my opinion, this approach is so simple that you likely won't need any third-party gems for it.
    However, there are a few important caveats to keep in mind.

  23. Tallasin – Setting für Gassenhunde und andere Urban Fantasy jetzt als Download

    Was lange währt: Wir haben ein ganz besonderes Projekt abgeschlossen. Eines mit vielen Beteiligten, Ideen und Reiterationen. Und nun ist es da. Einfach so. Runterladen, aufmachen, reinwerfen in die eigene Runde und gucken, was passiert:
    Das Setting „Tallasin – Stadt der Tränen“ ist ab sofort kostenlos als PDF verfügbar!
    Mit supercoolem Layout von Kiki!

    Eine Stadt, die dich zerkaut und ausspuckt

    Tallasin ist als Setting für das Rollenspiel Gassenhunde konzipiert. So wie das Spiel selbst, ist das Setting also mehr oder weniger Cyberpunk – aber in Fantasy. Aufmerksame Leser des kritischen Fehlschlags dürften auch mitbekommen haben, dass seit einigen Wochen die Novelle Dreckstag als Download verfügbar ist. Dreckstag spielt in Tallasin und ist damit quasi direkt eine prosaische Ergänzung.

    Tallasin ist eine Stadt, die um eine gefangene Göttin herumgebaut wurde. Um die Macht dieser Göttin für sich allein zu besitzen, hat die Oberschicht den inneren Ring zur Festung ausgebaut und alles andere sich selbst und dem Chaos überlassen. Jedes Stadtviertel ging mit dieser neuen Führungslosigkeit anders um.

    Systemneutrale Story-Engine

    Eigentlich wollten wir Tallasin viel stärker mit dem Spiel Gassenhunde verzahnen. Im Entstehungsprozess kristallisierte sich heraus, dass es genauso gut systemneutral funktioniert. Also ist es das jetzt. Wenn du also mal ein hochkompaktes Fantasy-Setting mit Dutzenden von Story-Hooks und Fraktionen brauchst: schau mal bei Tallasin rein.

    Das war nämlich das Designziel: minimale Prosa, maximale Spielbarkeit.

    Tallasin und die Stadtkarte gedruckt? Jetzt bestellen!

    Das Setting und die zugehörige Stadtkarte (gemalt von Frau Knurrkater) wird es auch in einer kleinen Auflage gedruckt werden. Und diesmal gibt es was Neues: Je mehr Leute bestellen, desto günstiger wird es.
    HIER zur Vorbestellung
    Also bitte besorgt euch, all euren Freunden und euren Familien jetzt eine Ausgabe von Tallasin!

    Denn wenn ihr Interesse an einer dreckigen Stadt voller Geschichten habt, dann ist Tallasin vielleicht genau das richtige für euch.

    Immer dreckig bleiben,
    -Seba
