wants to read Heisses Land Buluga by Peter Kathe

Peter Kathe: Heisses Land Buluga (2003, Pegasus Spiele) No rating

Wie viel #Cringe muss man bei einem 21 Jahre alten deutschen Fantasy-Rollenspielbuch erwarten, das an "afrikanische und australische Vorbilder" angelehnt ist? Ich weiß es nicht, aber ich befürchte da immer schlimmes.

Hat dieses Buch jemand aus der #pnpde -Bubble gelesen?

ah, archeology again... did you know that the classic roleplaying supplement "The City of Carse" was based on an actual place? Turns out the map is basically a repurposed map of Caernarfon in Wales.

did I read that anywhere in the English-speaking net?

No, of course not, I learned it from a page about the German supplement Corrinis, which did not mention it was a translation of Carse at all, but mentioned the RL inspiration.

Going through rough times and got myself a little treat: Someone sold me a couple of old boxes (3rd ed, 1989) with the original yellowed character sheets and dice. Won‘t pick the game up in the near future, but I have loads of nostalgia for Midgard, Germany‘s oldest . I was introduced to the hobby with this game, and who knows, after all, I like re-exploring old games. Midgard features skill-based mechanics, and facilitates adventuring in a low fantasy environment. 1/2
