[Q&A] Kenneth Hite & Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan (Night’s Black Agents: Dracula Dossier – Director’s Handbook)

<+Gareth> I’m Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan, writer for Pelgrane Press, and we’re here to talk about the Dracula Dossier, an improvised campaign for Night’s Black Agents which we kickstarted last year and are delivering to retail pretty soon, I believe.

<+Ken_Hite> And I’m Kenneth Hite, the Henry Irving to Gar’s Bram Stoker.

<+Ken_Hite> THE DRACULA DOSSIER refers to a whole congeries of possible products thanks to very enthusiastic Kickstarter backers, but the ones that will be in retail tomorrow (crosses fingers) are the two “core releases”: DRACULA UNREDACTED, and THE DRACULA DOSSIER DIRECTOR’S HANDBOOK.

[Q&A] Michelle Lyons-McFarland (Chill: SAVE – The Eternal Society)

<+MichelleL-M> Hey there. I’m Michelle Lyons-McFarland, co-owner of Growling Door Games and developer of our new sourcebook for Chill 3rd Edition, SAVE – The Eternal Society. I’ve been working in the tabletop game industry since 2000, including in-house at WotC and FASA Corp, and I’m currently in grad school finishing my PhD in English Lit and Composition.

<+JamesGillen> Hi

<+MichelleL-M> SAVE is the primary monster hunting organization in the world of Chill 3rd Edition. Although it’s been in all three editions of the game in one form or another, it’s never had a sourcebook focused on its history, methods, and organizations, so we set out to fix that.

[Q&A] Peter Hollinghurst (Fortunes Wheel)

[13:34] <+PeterHollinghurst> Hi everyone – I am (as you can see) Peter Hollinghurst – creator of the Fortunes Wheel game currently on kickstarter. It is a Tarot based game with a dark mystery horror setting

[Q&A] Eloy Lasanta (The Ninja Crusade 2nd edition)

[20:33] <+Eloy-3EG> Hey everyone, I’m Eloy Lasanta from Third Eye Games!
[20:33] <+PedroElCruel> Hello Eloy!
[20:33] <+Thom> Hi Eloy!
[20:34] <+Eloy-3EG> You may recognize me or my company from our various gamelines, Apocalypse Prevention, Inc., Part-Time Gods, Mermaid Adventures, Camp Myth: The RPG, Infestation, An RPG of Bugs and Heroes and AMP: Year One, but today we’re here to discuss our newest addition… The Ninja Crusade 2nd Edition

[Q&A] Ed Jowett (Era: The Empowered)

[13:31] <+Ed_Jowett> Okay, well… hi everyone! I’m Ed Jowett, the creator of Era: The Empowered and it’s a pleasure to be back amongst you all.

[13:32] <+NowhereMan> Hi!

[13:32] <+Ed_Jowett> And the fact Nowhere Man just joined is either the most fortuitous coincidence ever or this is someone who knows about the game 🙂

[13:33] <+Ed_Jowett> Era: The Empowered is a game about people with superhuman abilities – “Empowered” – who work together or separately to save the world.

[13:34] <+Ed_Jowett> It’s based around a 1990s Animated universe, with elements of the feel drawn from TV shows like the Batman Animated Series of the 1990s, the Spiderman, Iron Man, Hulk and X-Men series of the same era and even a few slightly more recent ones.

[13:34] <+Ed_Jowett> Combine this with all of the creativity myself and the Era: The Consortium writing team can muster and I think a lot of people would agree what’s coming out is likely to be interesting!

[Q&A] Jacob Bos (Mÿd’Realm)

[20:02] <+JacobBos> Okay then, Mÿd’Realm Is a Fantasy RPG and setting, inspired by the many games I’ve played and enjoyed.

[20:03] <+JacobBos> We made it so that people new to RPGs could play it, as well as those who are veterans of gaming….

[20:04] <+JacobBos> The game is largely based on a percentile system with a few flourishes thrown in….

[20:06] <+JacobBos> Opposed rolls are also a part of the mechanic and are found in the magic, combat and skill systems.

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

[19:01] <+WetInkBrandon> Good evening!

[19:01] <+WetInkMatt> Hello

[19:02] <+WetInkBrandon> I’m Brandon K. Aten and I’ve been working in gaming in some form or another for over a decade.

[19:02] <+WetInkBrandon> Everything from volunteering at conventions, running miniatures tournaments, doing internships at a gaming company and freelance writing since 2004.

[19:03] <+WetInkMatt> I’m Matthew Orr, I have ridden Brandon’s rising star a little bit and have a few industry credits now as well.

[19:04] <+WetInkBrandon> Matthew and I have known one another since middle school and have long been in the other’s nerdy circles.

[19:05] <+WetInkMatt> I first hung out with Brandon because I was promised TMNT. Instead he and his friends just messed around while I say around waiting for the games to start. It’s mostly been uphill since then.

[19:07] <+Mumah> Just to observe. I’m one of the illustrators for this game.

[19:07] <~Dan> (Ah! Good to have you here. 🙂 )

[19:07] <+Mumah> Thank you.

[19:08] <+Mumah> Don’t undersell it, Brandon. I’m swell.

[19:09] <~Dan> 🙂

[19:10] <+WetInkMatt> We’ve been playing together every week with some other folks for about 6 years. A couple years ago we cooked up an alternate-1930s Europe setting for use with a standard RPG and since then we’ve developed an original rule set to go with the setting. That’s the birth of Wild Skies
