[Q&A] Carrie & David Dolph (After the Crash)

[20:35] <+CMDolph> Well, I am Carrie Dolph. Dave Dolph is also here. We have written a 5E compatible setting called “After the Crash” which is post-apocalyptic science-fantasy.

[20:37] <+CMDolph> The game is based on the old RPG “Gamma World” in some respects. Players can play ‘normal’ humans (called True Humans in AtC), or mutant humans (those with mutations/powers), self aware animals, a new species called the K’Oh

[20:38] <+CMDolph> or a symbiotic species of plant/animal or fungus/animal called the Symbionts

[20:39] <+DavidDolph> While many of the tropes are loosely based on Gamma World, it is a unique setting with a slightly more mature outlook.

[Q&A] Jared Daniel Nielsen (Taloc)

[19:30] <+Jared> Greetings all

[19:30] <+Jared> Our Kickstarter is launching August 30

[19:31] <+Jared> We are pretty excited about taking a new spin on an old collection of tales set in MesoAmerica style environments

[19:31] <+Jared> The name of the setting is Taloc: Mayan

[19:31] <+Jared> This is an RPG setting with Miniatures and Terrain with some special features

[19:38] <+LoremasterRyan> Okay! Hey everyone, my name is Ryan Schoon and I’m a freelance writer and game designer!

[Q&A] Joe Bush (Heroines of the First Age)

[19:32] <+JoeBush> Hi folks, I’m Joe Bush of Voidspiral Entertainment, and I’m here to talk about Heroines of the First Age, live now on Kickstarter!

[19:32] <+JoeBush> Link here: (Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/josephleebush/heroines-of-the-first-age?ref=9uvp9t)https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/josephleebush/heroines-of-the-first-age?ref=9uvp9t

[19:33] <+JoeBush> HFA is made up of two things, monstergirls and early civilization.

[19:33] <+JoeBush> Think Utawarerumono meets Greek Mythology

[19:33] <+JoeBush> Monstress meets Nibelunglied

[19:34] <+JoeBush> Oh, the game is Powered by the Apocalypse, too, that’s the system.

[19:34] <+JoeBush> Currently we’re sitting at 6295 out of 1000, so we’re doing pretty good! Cracking away at Stretch and Social Goals

[19:36] <+JoeBush> What shall we talk about first?

[Q&A] Nathan Marchesseault (Ruins of Humanity)

[20:54] <+GSG–Webmaster> Alrigjt! I’m the webmaster for Golden Shield Games and

[20:55] <+GSG–Webmaster> I also develop Ruins of Humaity

[20:55] <+GSG–Webmaster> Ryan develops RoH and manages all of our funding

[20:56] <+GSGRyan> Hi, I’m Ryan from Golden Shield Games and we are the producers of Ruins of Humanity, a zombie apocalypse RPG system

[20:56] <+GSG–Webmaster> The game is based off of the d20, which is used for most of the game

[20:57] <+Blore> Is Ruins of Humanity based on George A Romero’s movies?

[20:57] <~Dan> (Please hold questions until we get a (done) from our guests. Thanks! 🙂 )

[20:58] <+GSGRyan> It is more free then most games, in the way where it gives the players and GM a lot of power to do what they want. It’s also a good game for beginners and veterans to RPGs

[20:58] <+Blore> And I’m assuming that there’s a “One hit kill” where once you get bitten by a Zombie, it’s over (unless there’s a way to prevent the zombification process)

[20:59] <+Blore> Or maybe one turns into a zombie after they legimately die

[20:59] <+Blore> like you can be bitten and live a full life but once you die, you become a zombie

[20:59] <+GSG–Webmaster> the game revilves around eight classes, each with two subclass deviants with their own abilities

[20:59] <~Dan> (Blore: Please wait for a (done) from our guests. Thanks!)

[21:00] <+GSG–Webmaster> Each class has equipment and perks that they start with along with the normal gear

[21:01] <+GSG–Webmaster> There is leveling uo tk 10 for each class, with the skills getting progressively better

[Q&A] Brandon K. Aten & Matthew Orr (Wild Skies: Europa Tempest)

[19:33] <+WetInkBrandon> I’m Brandon K. Aten, one of the owners of Wet Ink Games, LLC.

[19:34] <+WetInkMatt> I am Matthew Orr, the other half of Wet Ink Games.

[19:34] <+WetInkBrandon> I’ve been playing tabletop RPGs as long as I can remember and have been writing them for almost 15 years for one company or another.

[19:35] <+WetInkMatt> We’ve worked a few other products for other companies, but Wild Skies is the first game we’ve built from the ground up (or maybe, from the sky down?!)

[19:35] <+WetInkBrandon> A few years ago, Matt and I had been working on a number of projects together for two different companies, in addition to running our regular weekly game.

[19:36] <+WetInkBrandon> Wild Skies grew out of the setting we were running, and we decided that we would make a run at putting our own games together under the Wet Ink imprint.

[19:37] <+WetInkBrandon> At the tail end of 2015 we launched our successful Kickstarter, and hit the ground running.

[19:38] <+WetInkBrandon> A little bit about Wild Skies:

[19:38] <+WetInkBrandon> Wild Skies: Europa Tempest, designed and written by Brandon K. Aten and Matthew Orr, is the core rulebook of the Wild Skies setting in which players take control of anthropomorphic animal characters in a post-World War I alternate history Europe. Pulp-style technology and unique animal abilities contribute to the narrative storytelling of the game.

[Q&A] Eric Woods (Firelight)

[19:31] <+EricWoods> Alrighty – Hi everyone! This is Eric from HobbyHorse Games. I’m the company’s founder, as well as designer on our new RPG/card game hybrid, Firelight, now live on Kickstarter.

[19:31] <+EricWoods> I’ve been a casual fan of role-playing games for a while now, and a more serious fan of tabletop games since I was young. Firelight is basically my way of attempting to combine the easy setup of a card game with the player-drive storytelling of an RPG.

[19:33] <+EricWoods> If you’d like to see more, Firelight is live at (Link: http://bitly.com/2uN2Tc7.)http://bitly.com/2uN2Tc7. We’re JUST shy of hitting our first stretch goal at the moment, which is pretty exciting, and I’ve been updating every week with new artwork if you’d like to see a sneak peek at that sort of stuff. Anyways yeah, that’s me and my game in a nutshell!

[19:33] <+EricWoods> Looking forward to chatting with you all tonight! 🙂
