[Q&A] William Hurst (DreadLore)

[13-Jun-21 07:35 PM] billbunkum#2863
Hi! I’m Bill, I made the TTRPG, DreadLore. In a nutshell, it’s an immersive, narrative game that features its own, original “fantasy punk” setting. DreadLore itself is a ruleset that can be applied to several different genres, but the core game (which is featured on the Kickstarter currently running) is set in the world of Craster.
The game emphasizes Player Agency through bidding Character Traits and Throwing Down (rolling dice), and the Arbiter (GM) decides how all of the above is “folded into the fiction”.

[Q&A] Brian Leybourne (Sapience)

[12-Jun-21 08:31 PM] Brian#5821
Hi everyone, I’m Brian Leybourne, and I’m the designer/writer for Sapience.

Sapience is an RPG set in a far-off cluster of stars in around the 29th century. A small fleet of sleeper colony ships travelled there for many hundreds of years from our solar system which had been wrecked by war. They brought Humans, but also the Gorilla’s, Orangutans, Octopuses, and Dolphins humanity had uplifted to intelligence/sapience (mostly to be their soldiers and servants).

They were hoping to find a colonisable planet or one they might terraform, instead they found 50 planets, perfect for human habitation with signs and ruins from an ancient species long vanished, and with a small indigenous (maybe) species who look suspiciously like old earth legends of Goblins and such.

Now, almost 200 years later there’s a cold war that’s once more heating up between the colonies who treat the uplifts as equals, and the others who still treat them as servants and slaves. There’s a very intentional North/South Civil war feel, and some of the themes of the game are around discrimination, privilege, and oppression.

That’s already pretty long, probably best I just start answering questions 🙂

The game is currently on Kickstarter at the moment and the campaign will continue for another 17 days till the end.

[11-Jun-21 08:43 PM] Wyldekarde#2893
This RPG was based on the turn-based RPG we created which is currently on Steam as an Early Access Title. That video game uses a modified and simplified version of the Weavemaster system we made.

[Q&A] Geoffrey Cullop (Somninauts)

My name is Geoff Cullop and I publish things that help friends play pretend under the name Fish in the Pot.

[10-Jun-21 07:33 PM] FishInThePot (he/him)#5299
I’ve run four successful Kickstarters, the biggest of which was probably One Page Dungeons, and more recently Ancient Undead Spider Wizard. Currently on Kickstarter is Somninauts, an RPG where you solve real world mysteries by using a machine to jump into dreams. We’ve got about a week left on the Kickstarter and we are about $1,200 away from funding, which is approximately 30-40 backers at our pace.

[10-Jun-21 07:34 PM] FishInThePot (he/him)#5299
I enjoy rules lite, rulings not rules games with DIY flavor, but with Somninauts I’ve taken a small side step and found myself making something more ambitious.

Somninauts is a roll-under d20 game about solving mysteries and experiencing weird, surreal adventure in a world of dreams.

I’m happy to answer any and all questions you have. I love playing games. I love to write. I love making things. I love talking to people. So, I look forward to the questions this evening. (done)

Redsky 5e (https://tinyurl.com/Redsky5e) is a D&D5e conversion for magic-less settings, set in our original world: Redsky! It is a love letter to both the scifi and fantasy genres, taking influences from things like Game of Thrones, Mass Effect, Earthsea, and Sid Meier’s Civilization. Redsky is a classical fantasy world set inside a world ship that is actually an huge scientific experiment. Taking the place of magic are Eldertech, relics left behind the mysterious and elusive Overseers and civilization from past cycles. Also included in this conversion are a new take on alignment we call the Elements, based in political and moral philosophy instead of just good and evil. Additionally, we are adding a social encounter system for allow more political oriented games and give GMs a tool to easily share NPC information seamlessly between games.

[Q&A] Batuhan Tunçdemir & Levent Akdurak (Carovea Victor)

[05-Jun-21 08:31 PM] RF – Levent#7277
We are Batuhan & Levent, part of the RolePlay Elixir team that creating Carovea Victor! A Roman Empire themed sourcebook for D&D 5E. Here is our Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/roleplayelixir/carovea-victor/

With more than 15 years of experience in TTRPG games, we wanted to create a setting with a cool touch of history that players and DMs can know the world they play in by instinct and spark their imagination.

In Carovea Victor, we are telling about the Carovean Empire, which is very similar to the Roman Empire. We talk about its world, its provinces, surrounding regions, give class and archetype options for player characters that reflect the Roman Empire theme, ethnicity options for human characters, factions inspired by Roman history, and story-adventure ideas to run games in this world.

You can ask any questions about the book, team, and so on. I promise we will try our best to answer! 😇

[Q&A] Jason & Ian Miller (Knock-Down Drag-Out)

[04-Jun-21 08:40 PM] IanMiller#0521
Hello and happy Friday, everyone. Our names are Jason and Ian, and we’re here tonight to chat with you about our new country noir RPG KNOCK-DOWN DRAG-OUT (Kickstarter here: http://kck.st/3bDQMFs). Thanks much to Dan for inviting us! We’re excited to (try to!) answer your questions and chat with you about games in general. Basically anything you want to discuss.

A bit about us before we start. We’re originally from southern Illinois. Ian now lives in Los Angeles. Jason is in Nashville, Tennessee. Jason is the author of the Slim in Little Egypt mystery series (HarperCollins) and a longtime RiffTrax contributor. Ian has worked in the entertainment field for more than 20 years. Our first TTRPG was the Moldvay Basic Dungeons & Dragons boxed set released in 1981. We’ve been hooked ever since. As kids, we played D&D, AD&D, Top Secret, Star Frontiers, Marvel Super Heroes, Gangbusters, Star Trek (FASA), Dawn Patrol, Chill, etc. etc. You know the drill.

For about a year now, we’ve been part of a weekly Swords & Wizardry game with Jason as DM and Ian as player. We build bespoke motorcycles in our spare time.

KDDO is our first game development project, and we VERY MUCH consider us ourselves still learners. As you might not surprise you given our gaming background, KDDO is a skills-based, percentile, rules-light affair (at least…light-ish) that uses a bit of the GORE engine as a jumping off point. We hope to start playtesting later this summer.

Okay, that’s us. Ask away, and thank you so much for chatting with us.
