Transmisión de una partida vía Twitter

Aunque no es nuevo que se comenten partidas en directo a través de Twitter, hace un par de noches causó sensa­ción la transmisión que llevó a cabo Geek's Dream Girl, una usuaria y rolera, detallando con acierto los encuentros y cada una de las acciones de los juga­dores. La capacidad de concisión de la "narra­dora", resumiendo y abreviando las descripciones, fue la clave, habida cuenta de las característi­cas de Twitter.
El relato se desenvuelve en cuatro horas, desde aquí hasta aquí.
Esta es, en orden crono­lógico, la transmisión; recuerdo que las palabras con una almohadilla ini­cial son etiquetas:

  • Time for #dnd to start rolling now that our last player is here! I'll put the #dnd before the tweet so you can skip it if you're not into it
  • #dnd It's the 1st year of a proper Brightblade celebration since the War, & the city folk seem excited to throw themselves into festivities.
  • #dnd The party's employer, Kava Velde­ran of House Tharashk, has given them the day off to participate in the celebrations.
  • #dnd "Just be careful with the gambling," she says. "We pay your housing, but we're not going to feed you if you lose your wages."
  • #dnd The party is walking the streets of Sharn, seeing the sights, including the festival food — food on a stick, of course!!
  • #dnd There's a crowd gat­hering and a young boy yelling about a fighting contest about to begin. Beatdown and Brick are interested.
  • #dnd Beatdown and Brick are fighting against a half-orc and a very, very big human. Their party members are cheering them on!
  • #dnd Eru the bard sings "a song of lies" to try to intimidate their opponents. Jelly is using her keen perception to coach the fighters.
  • #dnd Victory after a 1–2 punch in the half-orc's teeth! Our brave fighter and warden earned themselves a healing potion each.
  • #dnd A college kid with a tricked-out painted lute gets up and starts singing the Ballad of Gingermittens. His friends are cheering so loud!
  • #dnd The college kids are loving this song about Gingermittens with the soft flowing mane and the taste for sentient flesh.
  • #dnd But the kid is forgetting his lyrics and finally the streetwise judge stands up and says, "Dawg… come back when you know your words."
  • #dnd Jelly is revving up the crowd (natural 20) about Eru, Cyd is creating special effects.…
  • #dnd Eru is telling the tale of the Arcane Academy, the ghosts, and diploming the Library.… the judges are rolling to see if they like it
  • #dnd Eru's player: "I activate my star power!"
  • #dnd Eru got kicked off. The female judge told him that he had a lot of heart and potential but he just needed to get to know himself.
  • #dnd But on the way back to his friends, an older gentleman slips Eru his card and invites him to come play at his club some time.
  • #dnd The party has gone to the Cornerstone arena to participate in the Ultimate Battles. They heard their "friends" *cough* from the OTHER
  • #dnd wizard school had a party that barely made it two fights in. They're determined to beat their record.
  • #dnd "Our first battle will be between our brave champions and the brute force of the orcs! Make your bets now!"
  • #dnd "Will it be the savages and raiders or this group with their fruity bard and slender, easily-snappable cleric?"
  • #dnd Beatdown Machine (@DaveTheGame): "That was at least half true!"
  • #dnd It's a very small arena and there are 3 large orcs and 3 medium ones. Only 5 PCs. They're a little freaked.
  • #dnd Oh noes! Our bard AND our wizard both struck out with their powers… will Jelly the cleric be able to draw first blood?
  • #dnd RT @DaveTheGame: No room for the squishy PCs to get away. Time for the defenders to go to work. #dnd http://twitpic.com/xv0lz
  • #dnd I have to say, the warden class is a real asskicker. :-) Brick is always kicking the crap out of things and knocking them down.
  • #dnd Since the singing contest, Eru is suffering from low self esteem (aka he's rolling like shit). "Well, I can heal you successfully…"
  • #dnd The PCs have killed the smaller orcs, but the big ones are still up and swingin'.… will they win?
  • #dnd The PCs are down to one big guy left… and our fighter and warden both roll single digits. Sheesh.
  • #dnd Double or not­hing, folks! For our next battle, our champions are pitted against drow of the deepest jungles of Xen'drik!
  • #dnd RT @DaveTheGame: Round 2 are some Drow badasses. I have the feeling they're not here to change lightbulbs. http://twitpic.com/xv8f6
  • #dnd They've taken down one warrior so far and they think they're okay… too bad they don't know.… in round two.… MORE DROW!
  • #dnd Finally, Eru gets a crit. He's feeling a little better now :-)
  • #dnd holy crap — 2 crits in a row! Go Eru!
  • #dnd ROUND 2 defeated! The announcer is offering triple or not­hing for the people who are betting on the fight. Can the PCs defeat round 3?
  • #dnd For the final round, everyone's worst nightmare – warrior devils from the pits of hell and the tortured souls that serve them!
  • #dnd Our wizard, Cyd, just took out 5 mini­ons in one shot. He's been tearing up these battles. The crowd is loving it.
  • #dnd My dice are cursed! My devils haven't been able to hit anyone in 3 rounds!! WTF?
  • #dnd One devil left! The crowd is roaring. Beatdown winks at the crowd and draws back to smack him.… rawr!
  • #dnd Eru "talked" the last devil to death, but Beatdown is taking the credit. "Look at the way he bled out from his grievous wounds!"
  • #dnd Brick's PC just put on The Final Countdown on her laptop and is making her mini run laps around the arena.
  • #dnd The party was awarded loot, free dinners, and the adoration of the crowd. Eru is making a "carousing check" … oh lord.
  • And with that, the #dnd tweets are over. Dear lovely sister-in-law @srsbreakfast you can resume following me until next Tuesday.

Transmisión de una partida vía Twitter

  • ¡ Se vé super entretenido ! No tengo ni idea de twitter ( bastante que sé lo que es el feisbuk ), pero la idea de poder jugar a rol por internet y hacerlo de forma animada y con ritmo es fantastica. Eso sí, parece complicado.
  • En realidad no es una partida en la red, sino narrada. Precisamente, lo más característico de Twitter es la limitación de 140 caracteres en cada entrada, por lo que es importante ser conciso en las descripciones.
    Sobre jugar en la red, además de programas como Fantasy Grounds (una carísima maravilla), he leído que se puede hacer muy bien mediante Google Wave, lo más reciente de Google que aún anda entre Pinto y Valdemoro :D
