[19:10] <+MarzioMorganti> Hi everybody, my name is Marzio and I’m an archaeologist and a newbie game designer from San Marino (a VERY small free republic inside of Italy), Agon WWII is my first game ever, a brief “interactive novel” about martial arts, the horrors of war and the bravery of the good man standing for what is right.

[19:14] <+MarzioMorganti> The tournament will be the place where each champion will face his own ideals and morals, facing the consequences of his or her choices on his or her beloved friends, family, masters or his own country

[Q&A] Richard Stern (Altais: Age of Ruin)

[19:03] <+RichardS> Hi, I’m Richard Stern and I’m kickstarting a tabletop RPG called Altais. Some of you may have seen it before, but just in case here’s what it’s all about: Altais is a dystopian science fantasy, set in the distant future. Humanity has left Earth, fleeing conflict with an alien species and has colonised a new world called Altais.

[19:03] <+RichardS> Thousands of years have passed and they have forgotten their origins, their technology, and the reason for their flight. Kingdoms have risen and fallen, the extra-dimensional science that once allowed hyperspace travel is now mistaken for magic but blamed from bringing the last great catastrophe: The Fall.

[19:03] <+RichardS> As they struggle to rebuild once more, scholars look to the sky and predict the coming of another Fall, while to the west, the creatures that drove them from Earth, the Rephaim, have reappeared and begun their invasion of the world.

[19:03] <+RichardS> Altais is a game about rebellion, uncovering lost history, and adventuring through ancient ruins and derelict space craft. The focus is on fantasy: swords and magic, but the technology of the past is always near the surface.
