A Spiritual Journey Into S/lay w/ Me
I had a memory come back to me and I figured I’d share it. I had this friend named Sayler. I haven’t seen him in a long time. Sayler was an interesting and somewhat mysterious fellow. He was of German and Persian ancestry. He was stationed in Berlin with the U.S. Army when the wall […]

Slaying the The is harder than it looks
The last three and a half months have been full of funny, heartbreaking and just plain fun roleplaying (D&D 4e, Marvel Super Heroes, S/lay w/Me, and Sorcerer). I regret not having the bandwidth to post about these games in detail at present, because I owe so much of the quality of my recent roleplaying to […]

[S/Lay w/Me] Reflections on a game
The following text was taken from the forum “La Locanda del Gdr” and translated from Italian using Deepl: Hello everyone! In August I had the opportunity to try for the first time S/lay w/ME, accompanied by a faithful companion known online, for two sessions and a total of two rotations between the role of GM […]

S/Lay w/Me
Hi, this is a video of a recent session of S/Lay w/Me played by me and Sam. It includes a little chat from me beforehand about how we wound up getting this game together, some after-game reflections about what it was like, and plenty of rules talk and figuring-it-out during the game itself. That last […]

Spooky phantasmagoria with pictures
My friend Tazio and I are are playing S/Lay w/Me! I’d prefer not to discuss the current health crisis at this site except as it’s relevant, but it’s true that he is in northern Italy and I am in a hard-hit area of Sweden – there is just a little bit of shared worry between […]

Indie alternative innovative newschool same-old same-old
Fabien Hildwein is one of the enthusiastic participants in the francophone sector of role-playing discourse and design. The thread back to me is probably Christoph Boeckle, who dropped a lot of time and buckets of posts at the Forge, and at some point along the way prompted a similar site (SilentDrift) and scene among French […]

Design Curriculum 4: I’ll get you a Satanic Mechanic
I’m not making any claims about the logic or organization by this point in our talks, rather, I’m hoping Justin isn’t thinking that I’m totally making it up as I go. It’s certainly been helpful to me to recognize what pieces I need to pull into their own how we play discussion so they can […]

Design Curriculum 2: Structure
Here’s the second session with Justin Nichols as I test my current notions of a Design Curriculum upon him. Last time, we talked about the desireable “reward” cycle of excitement, engagement with the procedures, and inspiration. This time it’s about a particular structural rubric you can find attached to this post. The rubric itself carries […]

Burdens for good or ill
Consulting for Tales of Entropy has become almost a way of life, considering the multiple sessions, the length of the sessions, and the processing throughout. Especially for a game which is entirely finished and published, thus system development isn’t the point, and for a game whose typical play-time is single-session and relatively short, in the […]
