Subject: Re: [DragonRaid] Re: [CGG] Christian Games?

Hello. I am from Norway. I have had some interest in Dragonraid for a time, but have never managed to gather together people that are keen on such a game (at least when I have had time and opportunity myself). Have some questions and a request that I think could be of interest to this forum.

1) Is Dragonraid a game that only suits kids, or can it also be of learning and gaming-value for grown ups also?

2) To me the Bible is holy. Fine. How is it using actual scripture in a game of allegory? Does one ever go to church thinking "ha, that bible-word reminded me of the time my group were in the Cave with the trolls and..."? I ask because I am curious, and have never tried the game.

3) The request: do you have some guidelines for how to make a new and inspiring campaign/adventure? Both regarding making a compelling story, and how to incorporate allegory/message? Discussing this I think is very important also regarding the developement of a second edition, which I think should have a large section on how to make ones own adventures (that are satisfying and made with responsibility both as game and allegorical christian message.).

 

Kind regards Egil Wold, Norway

There seems to be a smattering of Holy Lands RPG players around:  http://www.devilhunt.com/index.php and http://www.holylandsrpg.com/account/.  I'm active in a play-by-post Holy Lands adventure at the moment at http://www.rpol.net/.  Perhaps not the same experience as tabletop playing, but enjoyable in its own way.

I play Dragon Raid with family.  I'd be interested in potentially connecting with any folks in the general Portland Oregon area for tabletop gaming.  Also, if anyone has an interest in a Dragon Raid play by post adventure, I'd be willing to serve as Adventure Master.  We could set up a gaming group on rpol.net, and I could help walk others through the system.  it's actually pretty easy and user-friendly.

Dragon Raid is a wonderful resource, both as an enjoyable game and especially as a learning system.  Hope we can increase its use.
