Playing RPGs since 1996 and started delving into unconventional games somewhere around 2007. I produce a German RPG podcast called PiCast and am quite active in game design.

Besides that, I am a physicist, so I know me deal of rules. ;-)

Apr 25	answered	What is role-playing, and where do I start?
Feb 22	comment	How can I deal with players who are reluctant to spend resources? I remember that in The Burning Wheel you could spend a Persona point to avoid death. We would never spend that last Persona point (once we got it).

Jul 5	comment	Hx with a PC deliberately taking harm from another PC in Apocalypse World So this is definitely no abuse case (and I think anyone trying to abuse this is nuts for it will really hurt). Also, getting the attention of weird things via the Mælstrom is exactly what the whole thing is about. I was planning on handing XP anyways, but Hx … I'll give it to them for getting to know the world of pain that Bob lives in. :-D
Jul 4	comment	Hx with a PC deliberately taking harm from another PC in Apocalypse World I should note that this is in no sexual context where sex moves would appeal, she just wants to be shown the pain.

Jun 20	revised	How do I record a session? added new thoughts
Jun 20	comment	How do I record a session? I think this is appropriate, as he asks rather explicitly for actual play recordings, also concerned with presenting it accordingly. Which is RPG-specific.

Apr 18	revised	Where do I get the archive of the Sons of Kryos podcast episodes? typo
Jan 4	comment	Where do I get the archive of the Sons of Kryos podcast episodes? Hey Judd, what about that copy of the Sons of Kryos episodes? Any luck?
Sep 29	comment	Tabletop RPG experience for someone only available for short interval at a time All of these board games are available in German in Germany. "Es war einmal …", "Ja, Herr und Meister!" and "Die unfasslichen Abenteuer des Freiherrn von Münchhausen". All of them can be found on amazon and similar stores.
Sep 29	answered	How do you track the PCs' reputation?
Sep 29	answered	Best story-focused, rules-lite, fantasy, non-class-based RPG?
Sep 29	comment	Simpler ways to keep track of the player's wealth/purchasing power? If you want it even simpler, you can use the Resources skill from FATE / Spirit of the Century. The difference is, that the Burning Wheel stat can go up and down depending on the outcomes of your adventure, while the FATE version is dependent only on the character.
Sep 25	revised	What is important when choosing an RPG? typo
Sep 23	comment	What is important when choosing an RPG? This question is a bit misleading: Because the most important thing in choosing a game is personal taste and the gaming situation. But these are not things a game designer can really address, which is what you want.
