"Let's try playing God" - a game master's guide to RPG So here we are at my last publication about pen and paper RPGs. So I introduced you somehow to RPGs in general and also gave a few guidelines in case you would like to take part in an RPG as a player. Although I believe that it is better to start your experience with this kind of entertainment as a player, some people may want to try being a game master immediately. Before I start I must underline that in my opinion the GM and players are equally responsible for the outcome of the meeting and both need to make an equal effort so that everybody has a really good time. And believe me, I had some best times in my life with my friends during our RPG sessions. That said, the truth is a GM has lots more of preparations to do. A player needs only to prepare their character, maybe think over some elements and/or factors that are beyond that single hero, but still concern him (Does he have any family? Maybe he has a...

"So... How do I attack?" - a player's guide to RPG Well, I know it's not the case, but let's just say that my previous publications made you interested in RPG (yeah, right... xD). So you would like to try it. You find some friends who play it and they agree to let you play with them, hooray! So what do you do? First of all you would have to ask the GM about the exact setting of an adventure. By 'setting' I mean two things: first the world. Various scenarios take place in various realms: the most classic is medieval fantasy and even that comes in many flavors. It can be regular, dark, epic or else. But often an RPG session is played in the modern world, in the future, in the Star Wars realm, or some more "customized". Often the GM will feel like creating an adventure in the world of a single book or movie. So now we come to the second part of the setting which I personally define as the 'style' of the session. Will it be combat focuse...

Falling down the rabbit whole - first glance at RPG. Through my presentations I would like to share with you my hobby and passion. All three will be dedicated to it and will discuss the various aspects of it and some advice for people who would like to give it a try. But what am I talking about? Nothing else than RPG, which stands for Role Playing Games. I'm sure that this topic makes a 100% on your geek alert, but I shall not falter! Before I go on I would like to make it clear I am not talking about computer games. RPG computer games, or cRPG have been created to somehow create a  possibility of enjoying the regular Pen and Paper RPG's without being forced to make appointments with other people. Other people. This is something I think should be pointed out. A real Role Playing Game, called pen and paper as I mentioned a moment ago, is something you do with a group of friends. Basically the idea is to role play characters, heroes of an adventure in a more or less realis...

Wait wha..? We’ll go briefly through the history of games consoles, starting from the 70’s (good times) up until 2000’s. I’ll put some pictures this time I promise. 70’s!!! and before http://www.cordoba.com.ar/Doctasearch/servicios-para-eventos/sonido-musica-iluminacion During the 50’s and 60’s we started with the very basic games and even simpler consoles. Games like pong on the oscilloscope anyone? http://www.ipixel.com.sg/blog/tag/evolution/ This game was called “Tennis for Two” developed in 1958 which simulated simple game of tennis. It was created by William Higinbotham. This was the first ever game that used graphical display. But this was more of a game to watch. Not really a lot of people could play this. The computer was displayed in Brookhaven National Laboratory and people literally lined up just to play this for few minutes. Booooooring I know… Let’s jump to something better. Magnavox Oddyssey! It was world’s first commercial home video game conso...

What is the credit crisis? The founding fathers of the US wanted to create a “flawless” financial system that would not allow private interests to impact on fiscal policy. Nowadays we can call it worldwide financial fiasco involving the best investment advisors in the world. What they created is so amazing, so smart, but also really difficult to comprehend. Dictionary Few explanations just to make things easy from here on out: 1)        Sub-prime mortgages – basically it means giving loans to people who might have difficulty maintaining the repayment plan. These loans have higher interest rates, poor quality collateral in order to compensate for higher credit risk. 2)        Collateralized debt obligations – or CDOs, are a structured financial product that gathers cash flow-generating assets and “repackages” these assets into product that can be sold further to investors. 3)      ...
