felt by his many achievements in the game segment Ryan inner urge to thank for it in the world and he chose for his thanks to the children, adolescents and young adults in his former home town. near Ryan's apartment, there was an institution of social welfare work. Charitable social groups called this institution. He went and talked to the leaders and offered to that he wanted to open for the members like a play group and guide. Since it to the deacon, who led the groups, it was known he was next to the direct commitment immediately a key, a plan when he was allowed to use the premises and he was immediately familiar with the house rules.
There he stood, with a key and a lot of new information. He even asked a question that you should leave it in the other groups that now every Wednesday and every Friday the play group is open and that all were between six and X years cordially invited.
Finally it was finally time. The first Wednesday evening was come, and Ryan had prepared well. He had approached with many of his own games and in the closet of that group, which was provided to him. 17:00 was the beginning for the group announced and advertised in a small display case in front of the group in addition to many other information.
Ryan sat, thought, sat, thought ... At 20:00 then the unthinkable happened. It actually knocked someone at the door. Ryan far from his chair with excitement and almost the same time from fatigue because he had honestly not expected to visitors. There they stood, three young boys who saw each other and spoke in Turkish. Ryan looked at her, waiting and asked for some incomprehensible sentences, if they not wanted to enter. Surprised, she looked at him and one of the boys dared to enter the group rooms. The others were not long in coming. With skeptical glances Ryan was mustered, until finally took one to speak. "I am and Ferdi are Osman and Cheng." Ryan gave all the hand in greeting and Ferdinando continued. "Lan Hey, what are you doing here and where is Pure?" Ryan had to because of this "lan" resist the smile. He knew that it means about as much as if we ever dialectically the word "man" in German needed. This slang Ryan liked immediately and he explained that he would henceforth conduct the play group and that the deacon called Reiner had approved it and that the dates are written out in the showcase. "Cool!" Osman said, while his long pony wiped from the eyes. "What we do now?" asked Cheng. Ryan was the likeable guys the game cabinet. After a few skeptical looks waved the three, however, thanks from us Ferdi again took over the role of language guide. "Hey mate, if you want to play us something, then it must already be something like a computer game or even hotter, with no one else does as long!" Ryan was not clear now whether this speech way was appropriate but he did not want to make you unpopular on the first evening and thought that an informal communication, the meeting would likely lead to best achieve a good result. Seriously, he looked at the boys and asked them that they should tell him about the games they gambled so much. Buy all three talked at each other and there were wild game name, Ryan had never heard before. He wanted to know more. It quickly became apparent that the guys gambled on games consoles and Ryan made the short side notes on one sheet. Monster Warriors, Titans, barbarians, adventure, fighting, tension ... That gave him. "Okay, let's play!" Ryan said calmly. The three were flat with astonishment. "He Age, surely you have no console and no TV here, "Ferdi noticed absolutely right." Do I not, "said Ryan. He went to the cupboard, took out four sheets, pens, and three six-sided dice." Come, we are to the table and begin. "Ryan said in all seriousness and with absolute conviction." What is age? "said Ferdi with an uncertain look, he said the word" is stretched "like a piece of gum. Ryan did now what he most . was best, he developed a game system out off the cuff, he did not yet really know how to go about it, but he thought to himself: ".. show now only not a weakness, or you have lost," he wrote something on his list , stressed it back through and suddenly he said: "True Heroes?", this means the game. Los, please write all your names at the top right corner of the sheet. Among the features of writing to each other intelligence, strength, courage and speed. In those seconds, a new game system was born, a fantasy role-playing in the pen and paper version. At that time there was no comparison.
Writes behind any property of a nine, those are your points. In expectant attitude made the three, which asked Ryan. In Ryan's mind flashed while the sparks really eat! An idea came to him after another and he gave the players and money for the journey. "Everyone of you still get ten pieces of silver. "that is the currency in the game." Come on, give it to me long, "said this time, Cheng and laughed sardonically. had to laugh Now all. Ryan stared suddenly at the ceiling and fixed the points of light that ... go there? "Krass age, it was the already or what," asked Osman. "No, I'm just just a story invented" Ryan said in a relaxed composure Then he scribbled a few notes on his hand and said: "Okay, watch out. The game goes like that I tell a story, and you have it according to your discretion to act and perform actions. "" What do we do? "Cheng said with a look that was reminiscent of a question mark." Okay, Let's start simple. You're in a dark forest on a narrow path that is laterally surrounded by trees and ferns. The air is damp and mist permeates the undergrowth. Your visibility is 25 meters. You are on the hunt for deer. Cheng, you write down on your hand "Tracking" and behind them again a nine. Cheng, well you can see strange on the ground. Please roll a die now with the three dice once a test track for the reading. "Cheng scored ten points and was glad." Oh, that's not so good. "Ryan said." The die sample you insist only if you erwürfelst nine or fewer points. "This kind of manure!" Cheng yelled out. The other two boys stirred up too. "Do not panic!" Ryan said with a reassuring tone. You have indeed the cube test of your talent "Tracking" fail completely, but you realize yet something and what you see, you prepare fear. "The eyes of the boys were larger at a time." What I see? "Did Cheng know immediately . You realize that these traces are most likely of wolves. ... In addition, there are fresh tracks ""! Buoah ey "or something similar Osman gave of themselves"? Wolves age, what should we do now "asked Ferdi" Ryan looked at the two and asked, "Do you have the talent" Tracking "?" No "they replied." Then you know its not that there are wolf tracks. "Ah understand, I tell the others that are wolf tracks there!" Cheng said with true joy. "Oh it is!" Ferdi noticed wise and contented. Osman also look revealed that he had understood why he could not know beforehand that there are wolf tracks. But now everyone knew it. "What are you doing now?" asked Ryan. "We follow the tracks!" Cheng's shot from the mouth. The other two agreed. "Okay. After a few steps she suddenly heard the howling of wolves. It is very close, more than 70 feet of you away and just as it sounds, there are at least 12 wolves howling there. You notice that the whine is always closer. Now is the Distance is 50 feet, 40 yards ...!" "Stop! I have an idea, "cried Ferdinand out suddenly." Yes? "Wanted to know everyone." We climb trees, "was Ferdi's proposal." Great idea! You get a plus in terms of intelligence, "said Ryan with enthusiasm and Ferdi rejoiced as if he had received a great Christmas gift. The other two guys were clearly jealous of something." So, we are now on the trees. "Said "dice." Ferdi satisfied. "No, you first need a sample to" force "and" Speed said Ryan. "Ah, right!" said Cheng understanding ...
This gameplay inspired the guys and they played so long, the group had close to Ryan. With each new group meeting more guys came in and the time the first girl. The game system developed here constantly and there were weapons, armor, various peoples, such as elves, dwarves and so on it. Ryan came up with for the players own character, which could be of different races and had very different properties. In time, a complete game system created its own universe and our own planet, which he called Reed. Reed, because you could make the word from Earth, but this one had noticed. Ryan described several areas, climate zones, strange Creatures, hideous monsters, flora and fauna and with increasing time everyone knew the different areas very well. Ryan also developed a graduated system that the players were able to improve with time, and he designed the prices of certain goods. should Cheng was the one who came up with the idea that you can haggle over prices also, which caused a lot of fun. Ferdi created an Asian character that certain martial arts mastered by Osman and many good ideas came to spells, even if he was ill once with a spell all his friends flooded and almost drown. But that's another story ...
The group feed was soon so great that the rooms were no longer sufficient. Many wanted to play other games and some even wanted to learn from Ryan on how to develop a game. All Ryan did not bring together under one roof. He ended the group split and hung with the consent of the Executive Committee nor the Saturday on the weekly schedule. Saturday he had the group for a full ten hours, was worth it. Over time, the social workers and also the highest point of the local Diakonia became aware that Ryan had actually managed to bring many young people from the street and give them something they liked. It was found that Ryan was even with all the social workers play such an adventure for all to learn the system. After this meeting, everyone agreed that this game system is educationally valuable and that should be encouraged. In this communication, it was then too. There was no promotion.
But in the newspaper published a nice report about the group and play system.
passed so nearly 16 years. From children were young people, from young adults and young adults in the themselves were fathers and mothers who sent their children turn to the group. Many friends of Ryan saying they would do much for the group. However, Ryan says today that he got back more than he could ever give. He learned through the many years of playing deep insights into the psychological behavior of players in certain situations and he lay down in a folder, in which he stated that the essential elements, mainly in games enthusiasts and others who always met with rejection. He recognized certain target groups and it was clear as could be provided through games specifically important knowledge content without the other players within this "learning" as felt. These findings many years led him to psychology, which he studied and now even a fundamental knowledge appropriated, which he himself brings still regularly updated.
There were over 300 role-playing adventure alone, some of which were played for several weeks, the Ryan in the head and gave out free-invented as a game manager. The free devising stories and an enormous talent for improvisation, he recognized as personal strengths.
out, here it comes!
It happened early last year of activity in the playgroup by Ryan, that Ferdinand, the has become a young man and "lan", the word no longer used, came late on Saturday night in the group and began a conversation with Ryan. He asked Ryan why he would not write down some of the stories play in novel form, in order to publish it then. Ryan waved once, for just as he had strength, he also had weaknesses. Two of these weaknesses were spelling and grammar. Ferdi did not give up that evening, however, and stressed that one could make weaknesses into strengths, and that he and all the other stories were always so good that even today they still talk about it and tell it to others who never themselves with this were. Ryan dared such a work, however, does not apply. He dusted himself downright hair if he only thought of having to write so much text. Ferdi said, however, that he could write down the stories of correct yes and then let someone who speaks better spelling. Ryan, however, was more excuses such as lack of time, a missing typewriter, and so on. Ferdi remained rock hard. He averred that the group has a computer and that Ryan should use this for sure. Ryan knew that Ferdinand was right, but then came the next weakness in the game. He had virtually no knowledge of computers and informed Ferdi. Ferdinand was now serious. He said he would talk to Andrea, who had become a group leader, and that he would then bring Cemal, who could show me how to work with a text program. Ryan agreed to, that he finally got his rest and immediately started another topic. The week passed, and Ferdinand was to be seen no more. Although Ryan Ferdi high esteem as a friend, this time he was very happy about it. On Saturday, when Ryan, the group opened, he marveled that no children and young people were waiting in front of, what else was always the case in recent years. Even after half an hour, no one was there. What Ryan was immediately noticed, however, that in a Corner of the group room was a PC with monitor. He was instinctively a large berth. Suddenly there was a knock vigorously and Ryan was happy that someone would walk by. But his joy turned into sheer dread as he opened the door. Ferdi and Cemal stood with a broad grin at the door and Cemal, a black, thick bag had it that nothing good could be expected. "So we get started!" were the words that Ryan did fear the worst. "I told Andrea that we want to teach you how to work with a text program and they agreed immediately and left me here to install the computer, look, over there he is!" said Ferdi full of joy and verve, while Ryan was staring at the PC as an enemy. "Outside in the display case is also clear that turns the play group today." Ferdi said calmly. Ryan was really fooled. Cemal turned on the PC immediately, waited briefly and then opened a word processing program. Ryan got goose bumps. "Come here, sit next to me, I'll show you the most important functions." Cemal said that easily. Ryan moved on to the PC as if it would push a person with a fear of heights in a deep abyss. Finally he sat down and he was surprised how well versed Cemal. Almost playful he clicked on several features and explained some Menu items clear and understandable. Ryan was thinking. Was his terrible panic as completely unfounded? Cemal asked him now that he should sit in front of the computer to try some things. "Learning by doing!" Cemal said, so he probably wanted to make clear that pure watching does not help. Ryan could not use the keyboard sure he still came to terms with the mouse. Ferdi laughed uproariously and said, "Yes, that was so me a few weeks ago also, but now I can" Ryan inherited his anger. Not angry with Ferdi, but because of his own ignorance. "Damn, I want to learn too!" he gave to understand loud, while Cemal and Ferdi looked satisfied. Ryan tried out everything he said Cemal. "I'm going to write it all down!" said Ryan. "What do you think well what is in my pocket?" Cemal asked with an obvious view. It took several hours and Ryan learned was always safe with the mouse and some letters he was even faster on the keyboard. In the evening, Ryan thanked most sincerely for the two and Cemal opened his bag and gave Ryan two folders with practice examples.
From that day on, he learned, whenever he found time for it. Lucky circumstances saw to it that he himself soon came with a cheap PC Minitor. He immediately bought an operating system and an Office program, and learned learned learned ... He got better and eventually he was so far that he can begin a novel. Now came the next problem. Although Ryan was able to invent stories off the cuff, but how you start a novel in structure, and then stopped, he had no idea.
Two days after his failed attempt at starting, he met Ferdi. Of course he immediately wanted to know how much Ryan had with his novel. Ryan talked about his problems and Ferdi laughed. "What, you can not write history? Well, then put on a look as you did that on your adventures." Ferdi Ryan looked at her helplessly. "What do you mean?" wanted Ryan know more. "Well, you make at the beginning of character with certain characteristics, then you can start it somewhere, tell why they are there, what has been happening and then the story begins its course, happens to an end. So you're doing good." Ryan was taken aback. For 15 years he told adventure and Ferdi knew better than he himself, as he went about it. When he said that to Ferdi said only: "Sure, I can see from the outside what you do and you're just in the blood could one of us continually tell different stories for so many years, but did you do that and do it. yet. You've just done it without thinking, that's your gift, use them at last! "When Ryan just back wanted to start with excuses, the whole thing suddenly took a turn that could be described as historic. pronounce Before Ryan could Ferdi turn turned to the side and missed Ryan such a hefty kick in the rear part that it Ryan by shaking right. Both were horrified spontaneous about this campaign, created by Ferdinand purely made of reflex. Never in all the years, Ferdi had such taken out an insult and what followed, which peals of laughter. They looked at each other and laughed. It seemed almost as if both would suffocate like Ferdi collected, however, and said. "Oh man, you must draw near to your happiness really is!" Buy both laughed again, Ryan was now clear that only the best for Ferdi honestly wanted and promised that he would try again with the novel. This was the first step to a more exciting story.
