Story Matters

Ein Rollenspiel definiert sich über das Setting und das System, die Regeln, die Mechanik. Das stimmt, aber Abenteuer tun es nicht. Warum ich allmählich zum System-Agnostiker werde.

Jedes Mal, wenn ich darüber nachdenke, ein Abenteuer mit anderen Regeln zu spielen, gehen die Puristen auf die Strasse und zünden Container und Autos an. «System matters!», skandieren sie. Nicht für mich, murmle…

Unearthing the ancient arcane lore of the primordial wizards who strode the world at the dawn of time unlocks a new branch of magic that doesn’t do a single goddamn thing.
