[Q&A] Steven Tipton (Machina Dark)

[20:32] <+Steven_Tipton> I am Steven Tipton, and i started a little (very little) company called SagaTales.

[20:32] <+Steven_Tipton> We, well really I, am making a game called Machina Dark.

[20:33] <+Steven_Tipton> After being a game for years and years, I decided to take the plunge and contribute with all the various ideas I have in my head.

[20:34] <+Steven_Tipton> The main focus of Machina Dark is the introduction of the Metaverse system, an underlying rule system that will cross throughout a series of games.

[20:35] <+Steven_Tipton> Machina Dark itself I believe fills a unique niche as it isn’t steampunk, isn’t dieselpunk, but rather somewhere in between.

[20:36] <+Steven_Tipton> I wanted it to be a lighter rule system, that moves faster to keep the narrative in motion rather than bogging down to a complex action resolution sequence

[Q&A] Jason Anarchy (Drinking Quest)

[19:34] <+JasonAnarchy> So my industry name is Jason Anarchy and right now I’m kickstarting the fifth game in the Drinking Quest series, LIQUOR BEFORE HONOR

[19:35] <+JasonAnarchy> I like to make more casual games but with a prescripted comedy element you don’t often see in tabletop games.

[19:36] <+JasonAnarchy> The big hook with Drinking Quest is that it’s half RPG and half Drinking Game… so you have a character sheet, you roll dice, you’re on an adventure…. but when your hero dies you have to chug your drink in real life to continue.

[19:36] <+JasonAnarchy> THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF REAL LIFE DANGER ON THIS QUEST

[19:38] <+JasonAnarchy> It’s a silly mashup but I’ve always enjoyed making silly RPGs for my friends and when we got old enough we were drinking while we played them so I really felt like I was expert in this micro-genre

[Q&A] Dale Easterling (The Living)

[19:34] <+DaleE> My name is Dale Easterling, proprietor of BTD (Before the Dawn) Press. I began writing over 25 years ago with a comic book idea, followed by a many screenplays over the decades that followed. I have covered a wide range of mediums since then and as of last year I have branched out into gaming books. This venture began as creating D&D 5e conversions and homebr

[19:34] <+DaleE> supplements – such as Star Wars, Vampire: The Masquerade, and the Wild West. I wrote The Living, an original RPG, at the end of last year.

[19:37] <+DaleE> “The Living” is a post-apocalyptic tabletop RPG. Although set against the backdrop of a zombie apocalypse, The Living features a plethora of skills and abilities specifically designed to be used with and against living characters. From persuasion to resources, hacking to leadership, medicine to religion, there are nearly limitless situations and areas of

[19:38] <+DaleE> expertise in which zombies are the least of your concerns. In “The Living” there is an in-depth skill system, which is freeform and highly customizable. There are no classes, no races, and no statistics. Everything is done and measured by skills alone.

[19:39] <+DaleE> It is called “The Living” because the focus of the system and setting itself is intended to be on the survivors and human stories. Not specifically zombies or monsters.
