German language games on the calendar

With the beginning of next year I would like to start a series of German language games for the Gauntlet Community. The idea is to extend the realm of games and settings we can explore specifically also with people who are not that comfortable with gaming in English (but German).

Games on the calendar will be clearly signified as in German if that is the case.

The series I like to launch is called Indie Schwarze Auge.

Das Schwarze Auge, The Dark Eye, is Germany’s D&D, i.e. the by far most popular game system for more than 30 years. It has a classic fantasy setting as a basis but the setting is known for its depth of fan created detail and its “living history”, i.e. the world is constantly evolving. If you want to learn more about The Dark Eye, Lowell Francis has done a great interview on the Gauntlet Podcast with Philipp Neitzel who is part of the publishing team and a fellow Gauntleteer.

In Indie Schwarze Auge I want to use indie and story game gems to adapt them to the setting of The Dark Eye. I personally love the setting but as much as I love the setting, the original rule set of The Dark is too trad for my taste right now. I’m sure we can play great sessions of games like Fiasco, Murderous Ghosts, Cheat Your Own Adventure, The Quiet Year etc. in the ancient cities of Tulamidya, in the jungles of Maraskan or the cold castles of the Bornland.

Everybody with some German language skills is welcome.

The games will be posted into the Gauntlet Hangouts community on GooglePlus as always.
