Classifieds / D&D Group for Expats in Warsaw needs one more player... [69]
Poland has a number of homegrown games that are, or were, very popular like Dzikie Pola, Kryształy Czasu or Neuroshima.
Dzikie Pola actually has a direct connection to Polish history which would be interesting for expatriate players in terms of learning the origin point of some Polish customs and traditions. (Naturally, tragically, it is not sold in English.) The stories would be played independent of history, but be completely surrounded by the historical context. A good way to learn and increase empathy, IMHO.
Just giving this a bump ahead of September.
There will be an old sKool renaissancegroup
lulu.com/product/ebook/quick-primer-for-old-school-gaming/3159558 formed after the summer with (at the moment) two American players new to Poland. These new intakes make the core playing group of us at about 15 persons now. 12:3 in terms of male to female players with a medium age of 33, mix of working business professionals and students. We plan weekend games about 12-weeks in advance with a quorum of 3 players minimum. Then, if you can make it after all, drop in on the game with your character. The quorum ensures we plan to play.
And ladies, old sKool renaissance is perfect for more story and less fighting. So if you are on the fence about joining a bunch of combat intense men, consider this new group the antedote.
The game continues. ... but I am without Internet. So I cannot check on your replies. The next game is 4 weeks away from Saturday.... and new players need to be prepared.... and I am without Internet until Late NOVEMBER.
Yeah, I am not giving out my phone number here. LMAO
Maybe a player who is online here can take over the duty of collecting responses?
ALso.... there may be another movie night but it will be arranged offline, the old fashioned way, face-to-face. Conan wasn't bad a couple of weeks ago. Knights of Badassdom looks even better, IMHO.
