[20:30] <+Arya> Hello! I am Arya Hipkins, and I am new developer attempting to get funding for my first “Gifts and Curses” while struggling with Bipolor Type 1 and being transgender.
[20:30] <+Arya> “Gifts and Curses” is a roleplaying game that has different focuses for Game Masters and Players. For players, the focus is on a custom personal magic for each character, character creation that focus on backstory, and matching the narrative power of the story with the machinal power of the game.
[19:31] <+Andrew1879> Intro: I’m Andrew Ragland, line develop per
[19:33] <+Andrew1879> For 1879 from FASA Games. It’s a steamweird role-playing game, meaning it’s the usual FASA mashup
[19:33] <+Andrew1879> In this case steampunk and magic
[19:34] <+Andrew1879> You can play it as steampunk Shadowrun, or Penny Dreadful, or Zulu Dawn, or any of the Lost World types
[19:35] <+Andrew1879> We have an alt history Earth and another world connected via a Weird Science portal
[19:37] <+Andrew1879> The mechanics are Stat plus Skill, and are a bit crunchy, but are well balanced and comprehensive, being built on the CoreStep mechanic originally developed for Earthdawn
[19:38] <+Andrew1879> There’s humans, the four metahuman races, and Saurids, plus a rival human culture, the Samsut, who have battery powered zombies
Introduction
The name’s Davenport. I review games.
So the other day I answer a knock on my office door, and who’s standing there?
A Viking. With a shield and an axe.
And glasses.
“Hullo,” the Viking says. “Andrew Peregrine, line developer, at your service. I’m here to tell you about Yggdrasill, the fantasy game of Norse adventure!”
Turns out he was a Viking with glasses and a Limey accent.
“Your helmet doesn’t have horns,” I point out. ‘Cause it didn’t.
The Limey Viking chuckles. “Well, two points: First, I’m dressed as a Norseman, but not as a Viking. All Vikings were Norsemen, but not all Norsemen were Vikings.
“And second, Vikings didn’t have helmets with horns. That’s a myth.”
“You mean like them worshippin’ Odin?”
“No, that was real.”
“Odin was real?”
“No, Odin was a myth.”
“…A real myth?”
“Yes. And in Yggdrasill, Norse myths are real.”
“So in Yggdrasill, Odin is real”
“Yes.”
“But Vikings still didn’t have horns.”
“No. That myth is a myth.”
“…Okay. So Yggdrasill is a game of Norse adventure with myths that are real.”
“Precisely!”
“But Vikings were never horny.”
“That is not what I said!”
Sheesh. There’s no pleasin’ some people.
Anyway, here’s the review.

[20:46] <+LevLafayette> “Papers & Paychecks” of course comes from the classic cartoon by Will McLean in the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Masters Guide from 1979.
[20:46] <+LevLafayette> Inspired by the cartoon, the game posits a comic of modern working life where what can go wrong, will go wrong, and at the worst possible time.
