[Q&A] Larry Wickman (Shuffling Horror)

[19:02] <+LarryGameWick> Intro… I’m Larry from GameWick Games; creator of WEGS Old Skool Fantasy RPG (pub 2007)

[19:02] <+LarryGameWick> And also Shuffling Horror: Pittsburgh 68 (2012)

[19:03] <+LarryGameWick> P68 is a spawn of one of the mechanics from the WOSF system, and is a card-n-dice game. rpg lite really.

[19:05] <+LarryGameWick> Both WEGS and Shuffling Horror are systems; WEGS traditional fantasy genre with six stat characters. Shuffling Horror has 4 stat characters, but again, more like a card game that plays in about 90 minutes
