[19:36] <+Mickey> We have a system that not only uses the basic polyhedral set of dice but also incorporates Tarot cards for a interesting effect in the game

[19:36] <+Mickey> Players create various magic users from different types of areas of magic.

[19:37] <+Mickey> The world has various different organizations to unite and help other mages along. Some good, some bad

[19:37] <+Mickey> The largest is the Hermetic Order

[Q&A] Robert Spencer Hicks (Mayhem)

[20:17] <+RobHicks> My name is Rob Hicks, from Midnight Campaign games.  We are a (very) small publishing company for fantasy board and card games based out of Salt Lake City, Utah.

[20:18] <+RobHicks> We did a family card game a few years back called Goblin’s Breakfast, which was successful via kickstarter, and have been working on a tabletop roleplaying game for a few years called Mayhem.

[20:19] <+RobHicks> The game is a sword and sorcery rpg focusing on tight tactical action, vivid characters, and creative storytelling.

[20:19] <+RobHicks> We launched a kickstarter for the project early this month and raised some money, but not enough to build the game into the scale that we were looking for, and so are restructuring the project and relaunching again sometime in late August.

[20:20] <+RobHicks> And that’s the very short version.  I’m happy to go into more specific detail on different components for the game and why this particular project is worth looking into, but there is a lot to it, so I am happy to follow your lead on what you might be looking for.

[20:21] <+RobHicks> And am very grateful for the opportunity to come and talk a little.  (Done.)

[Q&A] Liam Thornton (Raids)

[19:39] <+Liam_Raids> Hello everyone, my name is Liam and I am the designer of Raids.

[19:39] <+Liam_Raids> Raids is a storytelling RPG with the main focus on stories rather than being too rules heavy.

[19:40] <+Liam_Raids> This makes it a nice entry level game for younger players or gamers who are not as familiar with tabletop RPGs.

[19:41] <+Liam_Raids> But the rules are able to add more depth and challenge to the game to allow something for seasoned gamers or players who want to kick it up a notch.

[19:42] <+Liam_Raids> It is a dice based game, using D20s and D6s, and character creation is simple to get you straight into the story. “(done)”

[Q&A] Hal Burdick (Graphic RPG)

[20:32] <+Lichhunter> Hello everyone.  I am Hal Burdick.  I am a filmmaker and game designer.  I came to films through gaming and now wonder if there is a way to go back from films to gaming.

[20:33] <+Lichhunter> My first effort along these lines is Graphic RPG.

[20:33] <+Lichhunter> It’s a modern fantasy/horror game that is made to make it feel like you’re in a modern day movie.  The action is gritty but heroic.  There’s magic and the heroes have a chance.

[Q&A] Jonathan M. Thompson & Stephen Miller (Gaslight Victorian Fantasy 3e for Savage Worlds)

[19:34] <+BPIJonathan> Hello all and welcome to the Q&A tonight. I am Jonathan M. Thompson, co-author and publisher of Gaslight Victorian Fantasy, now in its third edition for Savage Worlds.

[19:36] <+BPIJonathan> Gaslight Victorian Fantasy is a Victorian world, but not as history tells us it was, but as the literature implies that it was. Believe that the literature from the period were more than just stories, but instead firsthand accounts of the events that happened in the world.

[19:36] <+BPIJonathan> Imagine a world populated by the lost boys of JM Barrie, the Beast Men of Dr. Moreau even tales of an immortal vampire named Dracula. Included in these are organizations bent of determining what is best for humanity, and they have launched a secret war against others so that only one will prevail.
