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.
or so people keep telling me. Last time it happened was after playing Campus Security. If nothing else the game helped me to further understand what I need to feel comfortable at the table. Here is what happened: Daniel, one of the people who found the Spelens Hus AP community after the summer, brought a…
It’s been a very full six months for reconnecting to the physical and social activities here in Norrköping. Getting to GothCon turned out to be too demanding, but otherwise, I participated in various ways at Närcon (spring), Lincon, a service/play event for Ukrainian kids, Närcon (summer), Augustifesten, and just now, Kulturnatten. Only some of it…
painting by Jozzi but the moment Ron mentioned he had started a game of Lacuna with a couple of new people that showed up after Augustifesten and Kulturnatten (both weekend long cultural festivals that give the opportunity for all clubs at Spelens Hus to reach out to new people) I got itchy. He had introduced…
Here’s one of many things I’ve been up to during the past two or three months. This is a Tunnels & Trolls game played at Spelens Hus begun as a family group, a dad and two pre-teen/early teen sons; we met during Augustifesten during my “learn about role-playing” presentation there. It’s our second game; we…
When the whole group can’t make it to a Spelens Hus session, we typically play something brief and with any luck thought-provoking. I played Zombie Cinema there a couple of years ago, in a very pick-up circumstance, but the regular group hasn’t seen it, so that’s what we did. You can see in the video…
Back to living-together play at Spelens Hus! We’re playing Zero. Briefly, it’s about a few “biomechs” (cyber-augmented humans) who lose their telepathic contact with the hive-mind which has nurtured and controlled them for their entire lives thus far. The first session of play for a given group generally includes this moment of sudden dis-connection, in which…
Given a pause in the Spelens Hus game in Mörk Borg this week, I met with Helma and Henna to play a session of Lacuna. Which means this. Junior Mystery Agents are put into electronic sleep, so they dream or psychically travel into Blue City, which is a common or non-individualized dream or unconscious state…
At Odin’s request, we’re playing Vampire: the Requiem, 2nd edition, which I have agreed to learn enough to GM and for which he is the go-to for rules details during play. We’ve been at it for three sessions of varying length; the embedded video playlist is current through session 2 and I’m just exporting the…
This is a joint post for the fourth and upcoming fifth sessions of both Väsen and Godsend Agenda. The first is being played very much rules-as-written with a published scenario, and the second is very much the GM’s personal version of the game, somewhat different from Jerry’s (the author; the game is in development). The…
