I've propably played over 50 different roleplaying games over the years.. some of these just end up as another book in the book-shelf. They were nice enough, but didn't bring anything new and notable. Then there are other games.. games that grab you.. that you learn to love.
One of these games is Everway. It was designed in the early 90's, but with ideas that can be considered modern today. It's focus on storytelling and drama is still one of the best I've seen.
I won't try to write everything I like with it in this blogg, but I will lift up a couple of highlights.
- Everway is one of the few games that uses a truly qualitative system
- You build your characters with pictures!
- Adventures always has something at stake. The actions of the heroes changes the fate of many.
Finally, one of my most beloved characters of all times was an Everway-character. His name was Fourclover, and he was a storyteller and a fairy-tale dwarf. Always cheerful and with a pipe in his mouth, controlling the smoke, so that it formed pictures to follow his stories. He was a great little man, and he is the one that gave this blog it's name.
So, here's to you, Fourclover, and to the game that gave birth to you
