Adept Play
These are game experiences played at Spelens Hus in Norrköping, beginning in 2019. This is Ron Edwards’ primary roleplaying community, characterized by informal participation and multiple games, organized by whoever would like to do so. Please see the Local Play & Events (link on opening page) for more information.
This is a downtown festival held in Norrköping every year, mostly associated with food but which has accumulated all sorts of other activities through the years. Now it’s almost a local extra version of the Sweden-wide Kulturnatt in late September. It’s also an important anniversary for me, in two ways. First, Spelens Hus began participating…
This is Traveller, in one of its early-early publications: 1981, Game Design Workshop, which as far as I can tell is about the same as the original 1977 publication. A quick point: this isn’t anything like Traveller as stamped iconically into gaming culture. There is no setting, no Imperium, no canonical starmaps, no campaign-planning, nothing…
We have now played our 3rd Episode and it was absolutely fantastic. That is if you sat at the table at the time. I am rather happy that I’m only the Producer, neither the director nor the cutter of this series. How our enthusiasm translates to the screen is something you have to decide for…
This is about a game we played last fall for six or seven sessions, maybe more, using my ongoing modification of Legendary Lives that I’m calling Whimsical Ways. Play concerned the misadventures of these characters: To repeat slightly from the video, I found myself doing way too much canoodling and placing things during play so…
After having played Primetime Adventures (the 2nd edition, the one with the blue cover) a while ago … looking up when that was … wait now, that’s two and a half years ago? Anyway, here is the link to the old stuff if you want it … okay, let’s restart this:Ever since I’ve been a…
Since I’m not recording play with people under majority age, you get to see me talk about doing it instead. It’s the same group who’s been playing Tunnels & Trolls, preceded by The Pool for some of them: five young teens and the father of two of them, plus me. We are playing Villains &…
This is the second adventure in the “big group” Tunnels & Trolls game, which acquired another player along the way for a total of five in addition to me. For the two additions, this was their first role-playing experience, so certain points and topics about new players apply. Although I don’t have much to add…
2022 really brought a Tunnels & Trolls workout here at Adept Play, me included. The post Or we’ll sic the fairy on you is primarily about another T&T game, played with a larger group, which continued into a notable second adventure which I’ll post about as well. In the video there, I mentioned some events…
