[19:04] <+JasonOwenBlack> Alright, well my name is Jason Owen Black, I’m a freelance game designer based in Seattle, and I recently published vs. Moon Men with Fat Goblin Games.
[19:04] <+JasonOwenBlack> It’s an alternate history wherein aliens from the Moon invade the Earth after the Apollo 11 landing, because they felt it was pretty rude of us.
[19:05] <+JasonOwenBlack> It uses Philip J Reed’s vs. M Engine, which he originally developed for vs Monsters during a fevered 24 hour RPG design experiment in, I think, the ancient days of the 2003 or something.
[19:06] <+JasonOwenBlack> It was a blast to write, and I got to develop some vehicle rules for the engine, which I think is a first! Have to have flying saucers and tanks, after all.
