Warhammer RPG game - where is Poland?

frd:

Well, you just need to have few people who are into fantasy or sci-fi literature, the idea grew up from table top board games. Each game usually involves a Tolkienesque world ( or something like Star Wars, or maybe a la Gibons cyberpunk.. any author out of drama genre, you name it ;) ). Each player creates his own character that fits the genre. For a fantasy Tolkien like setting it would be for example an elf or a dwarf. Creating the character usually involves rolling dice and determing his statistics such as agility,strength,wisdom and so on, they correspond to the players abilities such as swordmanship, archery or spellcasting. One of the players - that is decided earlier - is the game master, he creates some kind of a quest in his mind, with all the details - maps, enemies, locations, cities. All the other players become a team and have certain goal that they want to achieve. Game master is telling players what they see and where they can go, also plays roles of different characters that players might meet.

That was a very "short" version of what RPG games are (also called pen and paper games ). :)

frd:

I think it is worth playing. The game is a really "cinematic" experience, you play as a soldier from SAS or one from US Delta Force. It's called "Call of Duty : Modern Warfare" because there's also another part Call of Duty 5 : World at War, which is World War 2 again.

tornado2007: lol, i do hope your joking and not actually getting worked up about a computer game :):) Tornado, has anyone mentioned a computer game in here? No... we are talking about roleplaying games or story telling games, no computers or consoles, just rulebooks and dice.. :) And there was actually a computer game in production - Battle of Fallujah or something like that, production was stopped because there was a big lobby against this game.

Either way, my point was, are people really worried about it?? should they be?? i mean its a game after all, isn't it?? frd: And there was actually a computer game in production - Battle of Fallujah or something like that, production was stopped because there was a big lobby against this game. Well i'm sure if the Second World War had been more recent, the game/games would have been delayed, you see in twenty to thirty years time. You'll actually be playing an American/UK soldier with all the head gear and gun in your hand, shooting rag heads like there is no tommorow. No healer like time ay :)

tornado2007: i mean its a game after all, isn't it?? Yeah.. actually it is, 5 nerds sitting around a table acting like they are mages, warriors or vampires. "You shell taste my blade!! arghh!!!" and similar stuff :) one of them being the storyteller - coordinator, rulekeeper. It's like a boardgame with another dimension added.. tornado2007: soldier with all the head gear and gun in your hand, shooting rag heads like there is no tommorow. That was already in Call of duty 4 ;) the conflict was only imaginary same as dictators, but there were certain similarities to recent middle east conflicts..

Good thing Poland doesn't have Monopoly. Gdynia is the cheapest property on the board. There would be so many complains and mad Poles!

krysia: Gdynia is the cheapest property on the board. There would be so many complains and mad Poles! It is the cheapest .60 million and with a hotel it only pays out $2 million? Montreal pays out around $17 mil How about that for discrimination?? Is Gydnia really that nasty of a place???

Gdynia and Taipai are the cheapest properties. But Taipai is still worth more than Gdynia. Poland should start WWlll over this discrimination.

Maybe they dont have monopoly in Poland so they think they could get away with insulting Gydnia?? Its all on pogo .com

Bratwurst Boy: Depends if I have the possibility to play the Germans too.... Bratwurst you should be happy you guys have games with stories you take part in. There isn't many games in which you can play as or against Poles ; ) Mostly strategic stuff.. like Heart of Iron... Krysia: Gdynia and Taipai are the cheapest properties. But Taipai is still worth more than Gdynia. Poland should start WWlll over this discrimination. I think we should take it to court... on the other hand with immigration growing we might soon be able to call London Polish..

well... it'd be hard to play, I mean, if team members were supposed to play together they would need to be on one side allies or axis. I don't mind playing any of these but it'd be hard to make other people ( of different nationalities ) play on the same side :) And I dunno if I wouldn't prefer to play a medieval game, it would be an easier task to get everyone together and send on a crusade or something ; ) go go Christians : p I imagine the quarrels.. Game master: "So you enter the polish traders city of Wrocław" Player1: "Wroclaw wasn't polish at that time!!! Player2: "Yes it was!!" Player1: "No it wasn't!" Game master: "Silance!!! So you enter the city, from gossips you heard before you know that a well known polish scientist Copernivus stays in an inn nearby" Player1: "&#$^@&#^"

tornado2007: lol well i'll sign up to the German army then, i've always wanted to play it out from the perspective of the oppo, plus we get the advantage of great weapons and fighting tactics from the beginning :) Okaaaaaay....that would make two of us already Kamerad! :) Who knows....maybe there will be other interested too? (And a good game leader of course...) tornado2007: is this true?? Why not? There were german families whose members were fighting for the Axis AND the Allies...not to mention foreign volunteers. If those British felt as Germans, had german passport...why not?

Bratwurst Boy: Okaaaaaay....that would make two of us already Kamerad! :) It may seem strange to you but i like to see both sides of the coin, yes the war had Germans fighting Brits, however look at it like this. It was sons, fathers, brothers & lovers fighting each other, the only thing that set them apart was their nationality and language. Every soldier on both sides could have been born British/German, it just happens there were who they were. Anyway the war was such a long time ago, i have nothing against Germans so don't see the problem in putting the old Gerry hat on, for what at the end of the day is a 'game' Bratwurst Boy: Who knows....maybe there will be other interested too? (And a good game leader of course...) Yeah we can't have any mad Austrians fooking it up this time!!! Bratwurst Boy: If those British felt as Germans, had german passport...why not? yeah i see your point, i was just asking the question, its a poor analogy but there are plenty of footballers who represent their adopted country on a national level so.......

Bratwurst Boy: some players... I could be a Polish spy or something, although in all the games I'm usually of a "rescuer" or a "martyr" archetype. So I'd need a quest along these lines ; p And it's gonna be hard to find a good GM. I don't think I'm fluent in english enough to be one anyways. Beside playing through chat has its cons like lack of gesture and emotion play.

"You shell taste my blade!! arghh!!!" and similar stuff :) one of them being the storyteller - coordinator, rulekeeper. It's like a boardgame with another dimension added.. sounds like something you would have to join a club to do, a little like a chess club or something?? Not sure its my sort of thing but i did enjoy a game of risk now and again :) frd: That was already in Call of duty 4 ;) the conflict was only imaginary same as dictators, but there were certain similarities to recent middle east conflicts.. ow right, soz, i do play a few games but not that into them. Do you think the new Call Of Duty would be worth a shot, i used to play Medal of Honour on the old PS2 and really enjoyed it. Bratwurst Boy: Depends if I have the possibility to play the Germans too....then it rocks! WWII games have a huge following here too Yeah it certainly would be interesting to play a game from the point of view of, the oppo, i've always liked watching films that tell a story from the Germans side. For example i watched a film called 'Stalingrad' this told the story of the struggles the Germans had taking Stalingrad and what sort of hell they went through, it made me realise at that young age that there was not 'good/bad/enemies/allies' war was hell for everybody, including many Germans.

hehe, there was a game created by Polish developer studio that involved a "ta dam" German soldier fighting with nazis.. but from what I remember it was a pretty mediocre game.. I think the second part was better. It was called "Mortyr" it had 3 episodes. I remember a German strategy game that portrayed Poles as drunkards ;) that was a quite a fuss around it here hehe.

Bratwurst Boy: Sumthin like this? yeah i would have a go on that, i've always wanted to use panzerschreck to wreck the oppo's tanks. I woudn't mind giving UMP a go either, apparently that was the weapon of choice throughout Blitzkrieg. After mentioning all that i've forgotten about your amazing tanks, Panzer VI or Tiger Tank, Panzer V or Panther, as well as those half tank track half wheeled vehicles, now they were the dogs when it came to troop transport!!! frd: Well, you just need to have few people who are into fantasy or sci-fi literature, the idea grew up from table top board games.

It's called "Call of Duty : Modern Warfare" because there's also another part Call of Duty 5 : World at War, which is World War 2 again. Sounds like something i would be interested in, especially if you get to be a British soldier (SAS) Also thanks for clearing up the two different types of 'Call of Duty'

We are (very probably) not the SS or Gestapo or any other party member so the usual military greeting will do...:) Some tips: http://www.dererstezug.com/CultureMannerisms.htm frd: And it's gonna be hard to find a good GM True! :( There are board-like RPG's online but they all need an experienced and committed Game leader (especially for the introduction of the newbies).

Ksysia: But they also pose a problem. Tourists who have seen the Malbork built by the Teutonic Order, then go to see the castle of Pieskowa Skała, and ask was it built by the Order. So your solution is to tear down one of best kept (and largest) castles in Poland just because tourists confuse a Polish fortress for German built? You just won a strawberry for being a genius, lets bulldoze the royal castle in Kraków they might mistake it for Italian built while we're at it.

I bet you can fond following in Poland for this game. I had a Grandpa in AK, Armia Krajowa, but my boyfriend had a Grandpa in AK, Afrika Korps. He also has a Grandpa who took a war wound for the Soviets and has a medal. And I have a Great-Granddad who sat the war out in Oflag, because he was a Polish citizen - but an Austrian officer by origins. So make the game really complex Sokrates: So your solution No, Soki, if that were a solution, there would be a vote about it. That is a joke, and it's only posted in a forum like this. A better solution would be to finally make some good movies about Poland, so that people can stop believing that if there's anything in here, it's because the Germans have brought it.

Bratwurst Boy: Sumthin like this? You gotta be kidding me? I totally love the game one of the best strategy games in battle made! 1 detail they didn't put in. Where the hell is Sosabowski?! Panzer I or something was about a drunken Polish captain or something as I remember it Also I love beeing a German soldier in most games like Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory blaffing Roosewelts soldiers. oooh so much joy ^^ Also playing as Britts and Americans vs germans also gives me some joy! I miss shootings Soviets :( Never had any real game shooting them. Except for Panzer... Although i tried make an ww2 kinda game here on PF didn't work out! but the ww1 game supremacy1914 still goes on! I am like the traitor and great manipulator between Espana & Mathias :P
