Thema: [Erzählt mir von der] Wordplay-Engine (Core, Project Darklight, 1510, Starfall)

Worldplay ist ein Indie-Spiel aus Britannien. auf die Frage, warum soll man das spielen wollen schreibt der Autor (Graham Spearing):

I wrote Wordplay as a personal response to the direction that HeroQuest was heading. I like HeroQuest a great deal, especially the version put together for Mythic Russia [...]. In essence I wanted a game that:

Only factored in those game elements that I thought were essential
Put free form phrases into the heart of the game by giving them a value and effect
Allow for scene based and some spotlight action based resolution
Try and keep everything else away from the game resolution]I wrote Wordplay as a personal response to the direction that HeroQuest was heading. I like HeroQuest a great deal, especially the version put together for Mythic Russia [...]. In essence I wanted a game that:

Interessant daran finde ich, dass es einen narrativen Ansatz zu wählen scheint, der Heroquest mit Freiform verbindet.
Die Zielrichtung dürfte Fate/FATE nicht ganz unähnlich sein. Allerdings: Mit weitaus weniger Metagaming.

Und: Ich will, dass Mark Galeoti (Mythic Russia) 1510: Wordplay Adventures in a Clockpunk Renaissance fertig schreibt und dazu das Crowdfunding aufsetzt.

Cyberpunk (Project Darklight von Newt Newport [OpenQuest, Crypts Things]) ist zwar auch ganz nett, aber ich weiß nicht. Für mich glaub nicht das Richtige zum Kennenlernen.


Hat das wer schon gespielt?
