Stregoneria Fantasy Tabletop/Pen and Paper RPG
Stregheria:
Just a quick update letting people know that the Stregoneria book will now be in colour. Even though having the rulebook in black and white looked great, Stregheria Games has decided to go to town with the aesthetics of the book and illustrate it with fantastic colour images.
Expect another preview video when the game is released in a few weeks time, showing its fantastic new layout.
Ron Edwards:
All right, now I'm moderating.
Whoever you are, your name is not "Stregheria Games" and if you were, you shouldn't speak in the third person like the Hulk. The people who've replied so far have done you the courtesy of speaking to you like a human being. Please return that courtesy.
The Forge is not a bulletin board for you to post your announcements. It is a discussion center and a resource center. Please participate here in that spirit. We know very well that you are a gamer like ourselves who's built your game out of your own thought, sweat, and play. Speak like a person, not like 1980s corporate boilerplate.
Further bogus posting which (a) is clearly being posted anywhere you think will draw links and (b) is phrased in that appalling jargon will be trashed to the Inactive File.
I want to help the success of your company, and I want this site to provide all it can towards that end. But we are people and you are a person, and posting here requires that kind of thinking and talking. I suggest also ceasing to "update" this thread. Instead, Gregor's suggestion to post in Actual Play is very good advice that can help you greatly.
Best, Ron
Stregheria:
Stregheria Games is the pen name i'm using to promote my game under and should Stregoneria sell well, then Stregheria Games will be the name i register myself under as a sole trader. I am using it now purely for reasons of consistency rather than having to change to it from something else later on. I honestly though i was free to advertise and promote my game here and now i realise i'm not, i will cease immediately. The last thing i intended to do was upset anybody. As for my jargon, i'm not trained in advertising or marketing and was just trying to word my posts in as professional a manner as i could. The third person was used because even though i'm an individual, i regard myself as being Stregheria Games when i promote my game and it seemed like the correct narrative mode to use.
All i can say Ron is that i'm very sorry that i've upset you, it was never my intention to do so and i will comply with all of your wishes.
Ron Edwards:
That's a great response and post, and totally meets my standards for this site. Also, there's no upset on my part. Moderation isn't an emotional thing for me. The issue is a matter of policy for the site.
You are extremely welcome to promote Stregoneria at the Forge, but please compose your posts here specifically for the site, in the voice you just used, which I believe is the actual human you. I'd very much like to learn more about the game through your accounts of play here if you decide to post any, and also, certainly, by watching the videos you mentioned.
Best, Ron
P.S. My apologies for confusing your pen name with the game name. A quick re-read corrected me.
Eero Tuovinen:
To emphasize Ron's point by the way of vox populi, I like a more human tone as well. Much more interesting to converse with a person than a marketing-bot. It's been my experience that an indie rpg author will do well to cultivate his own online persona instead or in addition to his company's - after all, for most of us there is negligible difference between the man and the company, so making a big flaring point of your special hat just obscures the human facet of any interaction you might have with others in the Internet. I couldn't imagine how weird it would be for everybody concerned if I called myself "Arkenstone" in the Internet.
(Hmm... that sort of has a carnevalesque potential now that I think of it - I'll just have to convince everybody here to start using their company names instead of their own. We could have spirited discussions between Adept, Half-Meme, Chimera and other beasts, which would surely make this feel more like a pretentious larp.)
This is to say, Stregheria - I checked out your site a few weeks back when this thread was started, but never got around to writing anything substantial, partially because you didn't seem interested in dialogue. Now I've grown curious, and if you'd like to tell us more about yourself and your gaming experiences, I'd listen eagerly. We might even be able to comment on your game and/or publishing strategy if you'd like feedback of that sort, or would just like to sermonize to other interested people about how smart your product is. As it is, I barely get any sense for the game itself from your site, devoted as it is to explaining the deep backstory of your fantasy world.
