I basically finished putting the next adventure in tiddlywiki. Spent way too much time on that but that's ok. In PbP format it will take my players probably two years to get through.

There's another #FreeGame on #GOG, probably last of the #WinterSale which ends in a few days.

This time it's #TheDarkEyeChainsOfSatinav, which is a #PointAndClick adventure in the setting of the #TheDarkEye #TTRPG system.

That would be a #TheDarkEye / #DasSchwarzeAuge adventure using the alternative #Ilaris ruleset (which is really, really good).

The campaign is set amongst the earliest adventures from the mid-80s, but the PCs started out as the "evil cultists" from one of those, now on the run and trying to find their own path, determine how much of their souls are missing, whether the morals of their "evil sect" are all bad etc… I run this rather sandboxy, and they're just getting to a point where their trust in their former leader is evaporating and they're truly on their own.

Currently running

• #Pathfinder1e "Curse of the Crimson Throne" remotely for my former players. Not the biggest fan of the system or Paizo's adventure construction, but the setting is fun.
• #TheDarkEye 5E campaign where the PCs currently are on a mission to save a Viking princess from a curse, but get distracted constantly.
• #TheDarkEye (using the #ilaris ruleset) retro campaign where we started out playing the baddies (they're just politically persecuted and misunderstood) from an ancient bad adventure and generally wreck the world by assuming every adventure the PCs aren't participating in fails for the "good guy".

Currently playing

• Some Inception-like sleeper agent game. Cool story, just hope it doesn't get more railroady. GM wants a story game experience but rules-wise is a bit stuck in the 90s (homebrew WoD/Feng Shui mashup)

Wish I was playing

• #GURPS in general, preferably either a Voodoo/Cabal contemporary campaign or hardcore cassette futuristic #Traveller / New Era.
• A video-gamey #OSR campaign I've been dreaming of, a mixture of Might & Magic, Wizardry and Ultima Underworld.
• Dreamy but "realistic" portal fantasy stealing from 80s German novels. Using #BRP / #Mythras
• My own #palladiumRPG mashup: Ninjas & Superspies group is summoned into the Palladium Fantasy setting.
• #Shadowrun the setting, preferable some other rules, but all with a very Wu Xia mindset.
• Everquest D20 in the Forgotten Realms.

My wife and me had a discussion about AI yesterday. We noticed that ChatGTP is better in writing prompts for #dnd than for #TheDarkEye . We wondered if that was the case because the you can find more source material about DnD in English online or rather because #Aventuria is so densely described so there are far less liberties in the world.

@jdnicoll Clearly #TheDarkEye TDE, which is the international title of #DasSchwarzeAuge #DSA - perfect for the rules cruncher, with a world behind it, #Aventuria that's as detailed as they get, while staying middle european medievalist fantasy - written over nearly 40 years with 200 novels and short story collections set there and as many rule books to use on it. #ttrpg #pnpde #UlissesSpiele

@dmtales That's got to be #TheDarkEye (TDE) - 40 years of #ttrpg history and a living world 🌎 named #Aventuria with 200 novels set there. Recent TDE visual novel game on Steam and iOS: #WolvesOnTheWestwind -
Free quickstart PDF in the Paizo store and here on DriveThruRPG: http://cutt.ly/TDE-Quickstart - every #fantasy fan should check it out at least once.

@mhd
Yes, #UlissesSpiele is still on board the #ORC train, which means #TORGeterniity #FadingSuns and the largest classic EU fantasy #ttrpg #TheDarkEye (underperforming but present in the US) will be there, with their different mechanics. Potentially their other properties like #LandOfOG or StrangeOwl's #Space1889 (under license from Ulisses Spiele) @rwhe @Lane @Chaosium @ttrpg

@sydneybrokeit If you were a RIFTS fan, you might become a #TORG / #TORGeternity fan. TORG is going to be under the ORC license as well, like all #UlissesSpiele games, including SciFantasy #FlashingBlades and their fantasy flagship #TheDarkEye @rwhe @Chaosium @ttrpg

In the meantime: #TheDarkEye TDE has a great campaign world with #Aventuria, exists in many European languages besides German - currently in the Non-OGL #bundleofholding - quickstart free here: http://cutt.ly/TDE-Quickstart

@GenericGamesNZ @bradjmurray have you tried #TheDarkEye TDE - a game with nearly 40 years on the market (dominant in Germany, translation into French, Dutch, Russian, of course English) and for that game world #Aventuria there is also a massive card game DE/EN, (next EN Kickstarter coming soon) and 200 novels in German waiting to be translated & read? All by #UlissesSpiele the friendly company that brought #TORGeternity and #FadingSuns #ttrpg, own #Space1889 and more (and me during work hours)

@genesisoflegend First things first: I would amend the OGL so that third party publishers no longer have to tiptoe around the brand name but can write "for D&D" whenever the "for" precedes the "D&D". I would take the best from #Pathfinder2e rules (like they took the best from Pathfinder 1 & #DnD5e), and the best of #TheDarkEye TDE, which is the #Aventuria #worldbuilding. Aventuria5e+ and voila, 40years of living world at my fingertips. Imagine I have been handed the 5e reigns at #UlissesSpiele

@TrexPushups I have painted just one mini - but the company I work for, #UlissesSpiele, is selling minis in subscriptions, for #Aventuria and #TheDarkEye and soon #TORGeternity
