16. #SwordsWithoutMaster (#UnwrittenEarthsSymposium)
The 2nd game of the day, more grim fantasy, driven by mood. It's proper storytelling. Our band of ne'er-do-wells start on a big pile of treasure under a mountain and by stealing it bring down the repressive kingdom. My guy's eidolon was this Félicien Rops, Le Buveur. The game is arranged in acts which have phases, themes are reincoporated, as they should be, and it's very cleverly done.

#SwordsWithoutMaster in its original form (was quite an unusual way to get a game for me 😆) was one of the first narrative #ttrpg|s I played and *the* first where it really worked (also because of great other players I got to enjoy it with).
Thus it was very influential in my #roleplaying "career".

Thank you for the game and for now bringing it out as a stand-alone work.

Also: recommendation for you all to take a look: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/unwrittenearths/swords-without-master

Je crois bien que c'est la première fois qu'on m'interview moi (et non l'inverse) par rapport au #JdR
Du coup c'est aussi la première interview de promo pour #Saperlipopette à sortir chez #HOBG.
J'y parle surtout des déterminants sociaux qui ont amené à l'écriture de ce jeu sur la #bandeDessinée #BD
Et puis des inspirations comme #SwordsWithoutMaster ou #Horrifique

Merci @comemartin

Conversation avec Mathieu Lam Son Leocmach by Conversations rôlistes

L'avantage de cette nouvelle formule, c'est que je peux discuter avec des gens qui n'ont pas une longue bibliographie rôliste derrière eux… Voire qui n'ont encore rien publié ou presque ! C'est le cas de Mathieu, que vous connaissez peut-être comme la douce voix de Radio Rôliste et qui travaille à Saperlipopette, un jeu de rôle fortement inspiré par le canon de la bande dessinée franco-belge. En tant qu'amateur de ce genre de BD et auteur d'Aventures à plumes, il fallait que j'en sache plus sur le sujet !

@gulix @matthieu_be parce que pour faire de la poésie les rimes c'est surfait. On réemploi des images (#SwordsWithoutMaster) ou des symboles (#LaCléDesNuages), ou des thèmes (#Horrifique). On se contraint dans la forme plus que dans le fond (#SonjaEtConanContreLesNinjas, #LaGriveNoire), parce qu'en forme comme en fond, le #JdR est une conversation.

@epidiah @Mila

This creative constraint is really fruitful and brings poetic, impressionist transitions that make me think of the echoing motifs in #SwordsWithoutMaster

There is also a clever device to know who wants to speak next, who wants to interrupt shortly the current narrator, etc. The conversation is formalized (poke @lumpley)

The way the settings element share and often dispute ground makes the story dynamic, sometimes conflictual, sometimes peaceful.

30. Votre prochain jeu sera

Prochain jeu à publier : #Saperlipopette, pour jouer la succession rapide de péripéties, suivis de révélations et d'enquêtes, péripéties, enquête, …, et finalement d'un dénouement, qui sont caractéristiques de la #BandeDessinnée #BD franco-belge. Sans MJ, se joue avec des cartes spéciales illustrées et portant des onomatopées. Inspiré à l'origine par #SwordsWithoutMaster de @epidiah

30. Your next game is going to be

Next game to publish : hopefully #Saperlipopette , to play the rapid succession of twists and turns, followed by revelations and investigation, twists, investigation, …, and final wrap up and closing that are characteristic of European comics. GMless, card based. Originally inspired by #SwordsWithoutMaster by @epidiah

I'd like to have an English version of it at some point for the international market.

#RPGaDAy2023 day 30:
I guess this is a another question of perspective. Some games that I have played might seem obscure for "classical #ttrpg" players (like, say, #SwordsWithoutMaster, #TrophyDark or maybe a #pbta) and others for the #storytelling crowd (hardcore #Pathfinder or #OSR stuff).
But I've actually had none that I'd call obscure myself.

Also, a lot of today's mentions from you nice people out there might grow my stack of unplayed games yet again, which is too big already 😵

The words, diegetic advancement, got stuck in my head.

Diegetic Advancement

For some god-forsaken reason, the words, Diegetic Advancement got stuck in my head this morning. Here is what was born from that phrase rattling around in my head:
