[Q&A] Dane Asmund (Umbra and Mirn)

[19:04] <+DaneAsmund> So I’m Dane Asmund, the lead/only person in Cosmic Mirror Games (Ha!) I have been working on a number of RPG games from homebrews to full blown systems for a few years, but Im finally getting to the end here on my first finished book, Umbra & Mirn, which has the Kickstarter still going here: (Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cosmicmirrorgames/umbra-and-mi)https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cosmicmirrorgames/umbra-and-mi

[19:04] <+DaneAsmund> *(Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cosmicmirrorgames/umbra-and-mirn-cosmic-mirror-rpg*)https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cosmicmirrorgames/umbra-and-mirn-cosmic-mirror-rpg*

[19:04] <+DaneAsmund> Umbra & Mirn is a game system and setting set on the Cosmic Mirror, a flat and rectangular ancient artifact. On one side of the vast Cosmic Mirror is Umbra, a shadowy and ephemeral world where you will play an Umbran, a six armed centaur-like race, in a dark fantasy setting.

[19:04] <&Doctor> (still 404)

[19:05] <+DaneAsmund> On the other side of the mirror is Mirn, a glass and metal world where you will play as a Mirrar, a snake-fungus creature with six tentacles, in a tech-fantasy setting.

[19:05] <+DaneAsmund> (odd! That is the link)

[19:05] <+DaneAsmund> (Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cosmicmirrorgames/umbra-and-mirn-cosmic-mirror-rpg)https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cosmicmirrorgames/umbra-and-mirn-cosmic-mirror-rpg

[19:05] <+DaneAsmund> Your two characters share a soul, tied together by an invisible soul tether that passes through the mirror itself. You will play one side of the mirror at a time. As the green sun sets, it puts into stasis the world it leaves, and awakens the world it rises in.

[19:05] <+DaneAsmund> The world that is put into stasis sees its inhabitants enter a dream-like state, and it is during this period that your character will be able to pass on their abilities, their knowledge, their memories, or even their dream logic to your waking character through a system called Bleed.

[19:06] <&Doctor> (that one worked, looked like the second one included the * )

[19:06] <+DaneAsmund> So the real interesting and unique portion of the game is being able to play these two characters in two worlds alternatingly, allowing your group to play two characters/parties and two campaigns, as interconnected or separate as you want

[Q&A] C. Michael Hall (Urban Knights)

[20:02] <+CMichaelHall> My name is C. Michael Hall (though everyone calls me Mike), and I’m the creator of a game called URBAN KNIGHTS, which is currently funding on Kickstarter. We hit our funding goal today, actually. Here’s the URL…

[20:02] <+CMichaelHall> (Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/115666883/urban-knights-1970s-crime-tv-roleplaying/dashboard)https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/115666883/urban-knights-1970s-crime-tv-roleplaying/dashboard

[20:03] <+CMichaelHall> URBAN KNIGHTS is a rules-lite emulation of 1970s crime TV shows. Players take on the roles of cops, PIs, and other crime-busting investigators and–as it always goes–get into all kinds of trouble and fight bad guys.

[20:03] <+CMichaelHall> It’s a lot of fun, and a real love letter to one of my favorite TV genres.

[20:04] <+CMichaelHall> I think that about sums up the basics. 🙂

Emmanuel Gharbi, Raphael Andere & Stewart Wieck (Hellywood)

[19:09] <+Stewart> Raphael, please intro Hellywood.

[19:10] <+RaphaelAndere> Well… Hellywood is a noir tabletop rpg with a fantastic touch

[19:11] <+Stewart> For my part… I’m Stewart Wieck. I founded White Wolf in 1986 to publish White Wolf Magazine. In 1991 I co-created and published Vampire: The Masquerade and the World of Darkness was born. I owned WW for a total of 20 years before selling to Icelandic company CCP (creators of EVE Online).

[19:11] <+Stewart> Since then I founded Nocturnal Media where one of my main objectives is to publish great European games in English.

[19:12] <+Stewart> Hellywood is the second such game that is actively scheduled for release.

[19:12] <+RaphaelAndere> it comes from our love of Raymond Chandler’s books as well as James Ellroy’s or Dennis Lehane’s work, or Frank Miller’s Sin City

[19:12] <+Stewart> Hellywood is set in 1949 California. A fictional city called Heaven Harbor that’s nicknamed Hellywood.
