=====> MACHINA OBSCURA <=====
.............A Steampunk Adventure.............


Welcome to the fantastic world of MACHINA OBSCURA!
If you don't know this project yet, please read the journal General Information first, thank you!)


:heart: If you are interested in this project, or already participating, please make sure to watch this account and maybe even promote it in your journal, so that the word can spread! Your help is very much needed to create an enormous, incredible, imaginative game ^^ Thank you very much! :heart: :bow:

You can find official artwork, maps and game paraphernalia in our gallery. Fanart and other pictures that relate to the project (which we have the allowance of the artist to use in the project, but not yet have found their place so far or acting as a source of inspiration) in our :+fav: favourites. For the rule package and everything else you will need to actually play, as we don't really have our own website yet (it is still under construction at [link], if anyone can help with that, pleaaase send a note :D), you can contact *TheCoconutGuy and you will get it via e-mail, but it also will be available for download here in time. Please do also take a look at the BETA Testing Phase, as we are in desperate need of of testplayers (to see if the rules can be played smoothly and fun)!!!

Please do also visit our official website at [link] (under construction), thank you

hmm, actually, I have already found someone for the official artwork... but you can still do some artwork, if you want to ^^ like you've said, there is no such thing as too much steampunk :XD: :highfive: it would be a great source for inspiration.

Aww this is so wonderful!!! :wow: :glomp: thank you!!! Of course, there are only fragments here so far, the game will be a lot bigger and imaginative :D So if you'll do the feature (which is AWESOME!), I'll be happy to stand by for an interview and ask any questions. ^^
oh, and Washington State must be such a beautiful place to live ^^
thanks again, my dear!!

Punktesystem an sich wird ja bei vielen Systemen benutzt... schick mir doch einfach mal den aktuellen Stand der Regeln, dann mache ich mir meine eigenen Gedanken dazu und schicke das Ergebnis zurück.

And if I'm fully awake,

hmmmm, also wie würde sowas funktionieren, regeltechnisch? aber möglichst so, das es nicht wirklich eine Ähnlichkeit mit bestehenden Regelsystemen hat, ich möchte einen möglichen copyright-bruch vermeiden, du verstehst :) erklär mir einfach was dir vorschweben würde ^^
Hmmm. Ich muss sagen, das stimmt mich doch nachdenklich, ist schon interessant!

Genau da haben wir den Designpunkt, den ich nicht mag: Einschränkungen für Charaktere. Das läßt sich viel eleganter über ein beschränktes Punktebudget und freiwillige Spezialisierung lösen, Einschränkungen sind nicht meins. Deswegen mag ich GURPS auch so sehr.
