Ho giá segnalato questo sito ad alcuni silenti, ma vorrei proporlo anche sul blog. Credo che You Role sia davvero un bel servizio on-line per giocatori di ruolo, semplice ed essenziale, ti permette di creare il tuo gruppetto on-line e giocare a qualsiasi gdr si voglia. Andatevelo a vedere, e fateci un pensierino. Se qualcuno dei vecchi silenti ha voglia di organizzare una partitina, mi raccomando, chiamatemi!!!

Una segnalazione veloce per gli amanti del Signore degli Anelli, di Merp e della fantasy in generale. L'enciclopedia di Arda é un ottimo strumento di ricerca nei mondi Tolkeniani. Per adesso é solo in inglese e francese.

Alcune testimonianze scritte di una grande campagna di Merp dei primi anni '90, un'avventura che é andata avanti per anni grazie all'impegno e alla visione di Master Cionko. Un tavolo nero devastato dalle incisioni, un sedia rialzata per l'inopinabile arbitro, una di vimini per il nano piú testardo della storia delle Terre di Mezzo (ed il Numenoreano piú cafone!), il gavano del té (o carravano, a seconda delle serate), le bottiglie di sacra Whurer (Ribongen Beer), la macchinetta da 12 de caffé (indispensabile a certe ore), lo screen-master grigio fatto in casa con la scritta "MERP" dorata, le schede buttate lá ad impregnarsi di tabacco e di birra, lo stereo portatile e le sue sinfonie medioevali e naturalmente tante pietruzze sfaccettate che dettavano il destino dei nostri personaggi.

So seriously there are only three other people out there that will have any clue about what that means but I had to start of the wordpress blog with something.
I am really not sure of what this blog will turn into. I have my blog over at www.danieldezago.com but I find that I don't update that as much as I would like and I also find that when I want to do a vlog I am usually at work and it is a little difficult so maybe this will be my during the day musings in short form and the blog over there will be my main once a week bring it all together kind of blog in video form.
We will see if I keep this one up any better than other attempts in the past.

Today's Prophecy for March-born

That kinda sounds like he's saying that I choke the chicken, but that my chicken is so freakin' great that the word "eagle" must be used. With that, I'm ok. Yeah.

McKellen hopeful of end to Hobbit rift Staff and agencies
Tuesday October 16, 2007
Guardian UnlimitedSir Ian McKellen would be "very pleased" to reprise the role of Gandalf the wizard in the long-awaited adaptation of JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit, the actor has said. US reports suggest the ongoing negotiations over the Lord of the Rings prequel may be close to being resolved. Firstly, it is understood that New Line, which backed the original trilogy, only part-owns the rights to The Hobbit, with rival studio MGM also maintaining an interest. And then there is Rings director Peter Jackson's separate legal dispute with New Line, this time over profits from the franchise.

Sir Ian has therefore taken the opportunity to restate his claim on the wizard's weatherbeaten hat, whether Jackson, who was at one point effectively blacklisted by New Line over the legal dispute, is able to return for the new film or not.

"I am glad to read that [The Hobbit] is looking more and more likely," said the 68-year-old actor. "I would be disappointed if they didn't want to have the original Gandalf. I suppose if I am still functioning and working well, it is very likely I would be asked to do it and if I were, I would be very pleased to do it."

Sir Ian said he hoped Jackson would direct the movie, but said he had the director's blessing to play Gandalf for someone else. "When Peter announced he had withdrawn from The Hobbit, he sent me an email saying 'Because I am not going to do it, it doesn't mean you have to do the same. Of course, you must play Gandalf whether I direct or not'," said the Shakespearean actor.

Sir Ian portrayed the character in the three Lord of the Rings movies, one of the biggest box-office successes of all time, and earned a best supporting actor Oscar nomination for the part in 2002.

The Hobbit, first published In 1937, describes the adventures of Bilbo Baggins as he joins Gandalf and a group of dwarves in a quest to slay a dragon. During the quest, he discovers the powerful ring that plays a central part in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Guardian Unlimited © Guardian News and Media Limited 2007The Hobbit had been slated to be made shortly after Tolkien's Lord of the Rings movies were released (relatively speaking). However, due to some disagreements with regard to funds between New Line and Peter Jackson, there's been some delay. The situation is pretty complicated, I'm sure, but I'm finding it difficult to keep interested in the legal wrangling. Just make the freakin' movie already.

Anyway, Sir Ian McKellan, who played Gandalf in the LotR series is still very amenable to reprising the role in a Hobbit movie....even without Peter Jackson Directing. Sir Ian, in my opinion, did a pretty good job in the role for LotR's. Still, I can't help but wonder how the first choice for the role (Sir Sean Connery) would have worked out. Apparently, Connery didn't relish the idea of living for a LONG stretch of time in New Zealand (they filmed all three movies together)...I suppose the alure of Scottland kept him home.  My brother and I have discussed this at length and have come to the conclusion that barring any other major changes in casting (or directing), Connery would have stolen the show.

 EVEYBODY STAND BACK....I suspect that the hordes of McKellan fanboys (and girls) will be pelting me with rotten produce straight away. Its not that I don't appreciate McKellan's performance as Gandalf, I guess I just always saw Connery in the role (even before it came out that he'd been asked).....I suppose that makes me a bit of a Connery Fanboy...ah well, so be it. It may interest some that Jackson seems to have agreed with me.

When Damianov said he was adding me to his blogroll on his Voyages in Eternity blog site, I had no idea I'd be put in a place of such prominence.

There I am between Chaosium, Inc. (RuneQuest, Call of Cthulhu, BRP, Stormbringer, Hawkmoon, etc.) and Iron Crown Enterprises (Rolemaster, Spacemaster, MERP, HARP, etc.), both of which have 25+ years designing games. I guess I've finally arrived. My day is here....

Look out, all you game designing choads, there's another big dog on the blog...and this time there's a bitch...er, a HAG involved.

In a seemingly unrelated item, I have also taken the Barrowdowns Lord of the Rings Personality Quiz with the following result:

Based on your answers, you are most like

You were also very much like

 It looks like I pretty much rule. I'm most like the rightful heir of Numenorean (aka Atlantean) Royalty. Ties right in to my master plan:

 Phase I - Collect the world's underpants, Phase III - World Domination.

 I rule.

Or not. Good night to all.

The Fabled City of Atlantis....

This here is the sword of my fathers whose might welled from Atlantis. It hath served well in their hands and in mine own and awaits to be again called to battle...

Well, I read Andy's post and the original Steve Darlington paper from "Places to Go, People to Be": Andy's Link and it reminded me of some of the reasons for Aega Mythea and HAGIS.

Both of these links make good reads. If you're following my blog, they may help make more sense of things. More fundamentally, one of the most helpful reads would be System Does Matter from the FORGE (the Indy game design site).

While I'm talking about the Old Ones, I may as well give a shout out to my homey's at http://www.yog-sothoth.com/ and make a sanity check...ah, shit...

!Adaen of Bridgewat..........aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh@!

 I have decided to name the game engine upon which I am building Aega Mythea. The name I came up with is the High Adventure Game Integrated System ^TM (HAGIS). We here at HAG are endeavoring to put the first serving of HAGIS on the game table by the end of 2007 in the form of a completed Aega Mythea manuscript. Watch this space for more updates as they become available….or better yet subscribe.

I have some time over the next few days; so there should be some new development content up here by the end of the week.
