Yesterday our roleplaying group met at my place and finished our DnD characters. It went a lot better when we took it slow and went through everything from the beginning. Since I’m the DM I’m going to read through the adventure a couple of times before we play it, probably on Wednesday. Today we started going through mechanics, dynamics and aesthetics (MDA). I studied game development at another school last year, but I dropped out – however, I did read a bit on MDA back then. Still, it’s a bit difficult to wrap your head around. We also played SiSSYFiGHT, which was interesting even though it’s not at all my type of game. You basically had to bully each other in order to make them lose ”self esteem chips” until they had none left, at which point they’d lose the game. You could create alliances or backstab other people any way you wanted, and it’s the game we’ll be working with this week. In our communication class we’re going to write an essay on a subject of our choice. I had some difficulties chosing, but I eventually picked horror games and why we play them. I don’t personally play horror games, so I think it’s an interesting subject.  |
