Xa kuziwa kwiiDungeon kunye neeDragons, iqabane lam liyincwadi yemigaqo yokuhamba. Ufuna ukubala umthetho? Uye wakugubungela. Ukuzama ukukhahlela ubude bexesha lokupela? Uya kukubiza ngayo. Awazi ukuba yeyiphi idayisi oza kuyisonga? Uyazi. Ukusuka kumlo ukuya kulolo, uyifonti yolwazi, kwaye unonophelo kugcino lwerekhodi. Ukuba ulibele nantoni na - ukuphanga iipropathi, ukufumana i-XP, ingakanani igolide kwikiti-uya kuyifumana. Iyamangalisa.
Ukulingisa, kwelinye icala… ukudlala indima akufiki kuye ngokwemvelo. Umlingane wam uneentloni ngokwendalo, kwaye unomdla wokuba lilungu elithe cwaka letafile, ebhengeza amanyathelo xa kukho imfuneko, kodwa ngapha koko axhase abanye bethu ngokwenza izibalo nokuthatha amanqaku. Umkhankaso wethu wangoku, nangona kunjalo, kukuseta isixeko esinzima se-RP, kwaye nangona besikhe saqhushumba, iqabane lam livile ukuba alinankxaso ingako. Ngobunye ubusuku, kwiiyure ezimbalwa phambi kweseshoni yethu ebicwangcisiwe, wandibuza, ngaphandle koloyiko oluncinci, ukuba ndingamnceda aphucule ekudlaleni indima.
Njengokuba ndingathi hayi.
Eyona nto ndiyithandayo malunga neetafile ze-RPGs kukuba banikezela ngento ethile kulo lonke uhlobo lomdlali. Iintsapho ezinjengam zitsaleleke ekubhaleni amabali abambiseneyo, kunye, ngelixa iintlobo zohlalutyo zimba kwimithetho eguqa kunye neendlela zokuyila. Kodwa ngelixa ibali elithambekileyo lihlala lilungile licela uncedo ngoomatshini, ndiqaphele ukungathandabuzi ngokubanzi phakathi kweenamba zokufunda indlela yokudlala. Ukuba iyasebenza kuwe-ndiyayifumana. Ukudlala indima kuyothusa. Ndiziva ndisisidenge. Ukwenza amabali okuzonwabisa phambi koontanga bakho indlela eyoyikisa ngaphezu kokusebenza iipesenti kwiphepha elingenakugweba. Ngelixa ndingenako ukwenza ukuba indima yokudlala ingoyiki kangako, ndineendlela ezimbalwa zokukunceda ungene kuwo. Andizukuya ekubhaleni i-backstory, kuba ndikulungele ukubheja sele uyifumene, ukusuka kwixesha lakhe lokuzalwa ukuya kumxube wakhe weti. Endaweni yoko, ndiza kugxila ekususeni kwiphepha kwaye ungene kwi-banter.
Into yokuqala ekufuneka uyenzile yeka ukucinga malunga nomlinganiswa wakho njengento ekufuneka ube yiyo. I-counter-intuitive, ndiyazi, kodwa leyo ibhloko enkulu yengqondo kwabaninzi. Sukuba nexhala ngokuthetha ngomlinganiswa okwangoku. Ngaphambi kokuba iseshoni iqale, khululeka ukuthetha ngomlinganiswa wakho ngokungathi wayesencwadini okanye kwimuvi. Oku kudala indawo ye-buffer phakathi kwakho kunye nomlinganiswa. Akasenguye umntu wokuhlala; ungumntu osebalini, apho kufuneka ukhethe ngokwahlukileyo. Khohlwa malunga nokufuna ukwenza into njenge isimilo sakho. Thetha nje malunga yena.
Xa ndacela iqabane lam ukuba lichaze isimilo sakhe ngaloo ndlela, wacinga umzuzwana, wathi, Mde. Ndiqinisekile ukuba bekukho ngaphezulu, kodwa ndimmise kwalapho. Iinkcukacha ezibonakala ngathi zincinci yindawo entle ukuba ungaqala kuyo. Kulungile, ke ubude bomlinganiswa wakho. Mde kangakanani? Ukuphakama okumangalisayo? Mde ngokungaqhelekanga? Ngaba wayemde njengomntwana, naye? Ngaba abanye abantwana bahlekisa ngaye? Ngaba ukuphakama kwakhe kumenza azive enamandla, okanye ngaba uyazithemba ngako? Zeziphi izinto anokuzenza ngcono kunezinye (ukukhwela emithini, ukunceda abanye bafikelele kwizinto)? Ngaba ubude bakhe buye bangumqobo (iminyango emifutshane, enxibe izifihla)? Imidlalo yokudlala indima ibonelela ngeetoni zezinto zokubuyela umva- imvelaphi yezinyanya, iinkolo, imikhwa yokuziphatha - kodwa kulula ukulahleka kuloo nto ngaphandle kokunaba kwindlela ezo mpawu zinokwenza ngayo isimilo. Ukuba unamaphepha e-backstory kodwa awazi ukuba ungakwenza njani thetha njengophawu lwakho, kuya kufuneka ubuyele kwiziseko. Into elula ngendlela umlinganiswa abukeka ngayo kwaye ahamba ngayo inokutyhila okuninzi malunga nokuba ungubani. Ukuba unengxaki yokuziva ukuba yintoni eyenza umlinganiswa wakho aphawule, qala ngaphandle, kwaye ungene.
Ngelixa ukwazi umlinganiswa wakho kakuhle yinxalenye enkulu yokuba nakho ukudlala, kukho umngcipheko wokwenza izinto zibe nzima kakhulu. Emva kokuba sichithe isiqingatha seyure simbe kwiimpawu zomlinganiswa wakhe, ubuchule bokuyila iqabane lam latshintshela kukothuka. Andazi nangoku ukuba mandithini, utshilo. Njengokuba wayezakuthini kuwe, okanye kubantu basezidolophini, okanye-ndangenelela. Wayesasebenza kwingqondo yespredishithi- phendula u-X ngo-Y . Ndiyakucaphukela ukuyithetha, i-RP-phobes, kodwa akukho tafile yeklasi yoku. Ukuzama ukuqikelela yonke intambo enokubakho yencoko ngaphambi kokuba yenzeke kukuphambana, kwaye ngekhe kukuncede etafileni.
Ukuzithemba ukuba usabele ngalo mzuzu yeyona nto inzima malunga nokudlala indima, ngokude, kwaye akukho ndlela yakukufunda ngokukhawuleza. Into ephambili ekufuneka uyikhumbule yile: nokuba uthatha ixesha elingakanani ukudlala indima, uyakuhlala uzenza iimpazamo, kwaye uyakuhlala ucinga ngempendulo engcono emva kwenyani. Ukudlala indima ngokuqinileyo kufuna ukwamkela ukuba ungathetha into esisidenge, kwaye ukhethe ukungakhathali. Kulula ukutsho kunokuba kwenziwe, ndiyazi, kodwa okukhona usenza, kokukhona iba buhlungu ngakumbi iba. Njengomnye wabahlobo bam abasebenza kwi-Intanethi ngokuthanda ukuthi, Funda apha 'doin'.
Ukuba uluvo lokuzivulela ngokwakho ukutshayisa kunye nokutshisa luyakoyikisa, thetha nomntu wesithathu etafileni, njengoko wenzayo ngexesha lokulungiselela umlinganiswa wakho. Endaweni yokuthi Mna chola imaceyisi edibeneyo, yithi isimilo sam uthabathe imaceyisi (okanye sebenzisa igama lakhe). Oku akuphazamisi ukuhamba komdlalo kwaye kunokukunceda uzive ungazithembi xa usenza into esisidenge okanye wenze impazamo. Ayiyo wena ngubani ophuthaphutha, ngumlinganiswa ebalini! Ungaphumelela kwizimelabizo zomntu wokuqala xa uziva uzithemba ngokwaneleyo ukuba wenze njalo. Kwaye musa ukuxhonywa kubuqhinga obukrelekrele, nokuba. Ukwenza iincoko kuloo ndawo kuyinkohliso. Ndithembe, kuyo yonke into ekrelekrele ephume emlonyeni wam, kubekho abanye abalishumi abaye bawa phantsi. Ukuba awukwazi ukucinga ngamagama ngqo umlinganiswa wakho angathi, qhubeka usebenzisa ingxelo yomntu wesithathu njengamavili oqeqesho. Chaza ukuba umlinganiswa wakho uyabhabha enomsindo, okanye ucengceleze iLitany yePompous Paladin, okanye nantoni na anokuyenza kuloo meko, ngaphandle kokuyiphucula. Incoko yababini iyonwabisa kwaye yongeza incasa, kodwa de ube wonwabile, gxila ekubeni ukwazi ukucinga ngokuvakalayo.
Ndacebisa iqabane lam kule mizila ngokunjalo, kwaye wazisa inqaku elilunge kakhulu. Uye wathi, Kodwa nina hambani ngokukhawuleza. Udibana ne-NPC, kwaye niyabhabana, kwaye andinaxesha lakucinga ukuba mandithini. Andikwazi kungena. Kwaye wayelunge ngokupheleleyo. I-rogue yethu kwaye andinantloni xa kufikwa kwi-RP, kwaye sidlala abalinganiswa abanobuntu obukhulu. Besingavumeli indawo eninzi yomdlali othuleyo onophawu olomeleleyo, uhlobo olulinganisiweyo. Into efunekayo liqabane lam yayikukunceda.
Ndiyazi ukuba le yingcebiso enzima, kodwa ukuba ukwiqela labadlali abonwabileyo be-RP, baxelele ukuba ufuna uncedo. Ukuba ukudlala indima yeyona nto bayithanda kakhulu, kwaye uvakalise umnqweno wokufunda, baya kukuvuyela ukukunika isandla. Kum, kwicala elingenazintloni etafileni, ukwazi amandla eqela lam kunye nobuthathaka kum kundenza umdlali weqela ongcono. Abadlali ndima abafanelekileyo bayayazi indlela yokunika umntu ukuba angene, kwaye baya kwenza iinzame zokwenza njalo. Oku kunokubandakanya ukuphosa imibuzo ekhokelayo (andazi! Mnumzana Pantsalot, njani wena uziva malunga nokuya kwitheko leti likaArchlich?), Okanye nokuba ubambe nje impendulo imizuzwana embalwa, ukukunika ithuba lokuthetha.
Unokuziva ngathi amalungu eqela lakho akuthwele-kwaye unyanisile, kunjalo. Kodwa akufani nokuba uncede umntu amise iphepha lomlingisi okokuqala, okanye umkhumbuze malunga nedayisi oza kuyisebenzisa. Gcina ukhumbula ukuba abanye abadlali baziva bexakekile ngokungaze bakhumbule indlela yokulinganisa njengoko usenza malunga nokudlala indima. Ukutshintshiselana simahla kwezakhono yeyona nto yenza ukuba iqela elidlala indima licofe, kanye njengokuba ibhalansi yeklasi igcina iqela lakho elinomdla liphila. Iqhawe aliyi kuthandabuza ukubuza umfundisi ukuba aphilise, akunjalo? Ke ungaphelelwa lithemba ukuba awuyiyo inkosi ye-thespian kanye kwi-bat. Iqela lakho sele likuxabisile ngenxa yezinye izakhono zakho, kunye nokuzimisela kwakho ukuphuhlisa entsha kukwenza ukuba unyikime ngakumbi.
Kwaye nantoni na eyenye oyenzayo, ungaze ulibale owona mthetho ubaluleke kunayo yonke: wonwabe.
