[Q&A] Ray Machuga (Slasher)

[19:33] <+RayM> I am the apparently innocuous, pervasively infamous Ray Machuga and my game is Slasher the RPG (or Slasher (Revised) if you go by the title on DriveThruRPG.com.) or simply “Slasher.” It’s an homage to the best slasher movies such as Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream and, my personal favorite, Halloween.

[19:34] <+Blackwell> ooh, thematic

[19:34] <+RayM> Thanks, Blackwell. I agree! Our release date of October 1st was no accident.

[19:36] <+RayM> The game is a lot like any other tabletop RPG, but it adds an element of PvP. one of the players will be the feared Killer. The masked villain whose sole purpose is to stalk and kill the Survivor characters.

[Q&A] Drew Cochran (Epic of Dreams)

[19:35] <+Drew_Cochran> Hello all, my name is Drew Cochran and I’ve produced a Roleplaying Game called the Epic of Dreams!

[19:36] <+Drew_Cochran> It’s a game that requires no dice, paper, pens, or implements of any kind when learned

[19:36] <+Drew_Cochran> Setting agnostic, focused on teaching the joys of drama and immersive roleplay

[19:37] <+Drew_Cochran> And the Core Rulebook draws upon world mythology to give a foundation and context for worldbuilders and other settings.

[19:37] <+Drew_Cochran> When you learn how to play the game, you can run it in a pinch, and even though the rules are designed such that they’re light, they still have a lot of depth of play.

[19:38] <+Drew_Cochran> We have just enough granularity to provide a sense of real, weighty progression, and the choices that players make, both in Hero creation, and in play, Matter.

[Q&A] Liam Ginty (Americana)

[19:31] <+LiamGintySPG> Hello! I’m Liam Ginty, designer at Sandy Pug Games. We’ve mainly focused on Dungeon World and Fate content till now but have recently started making our own games. We had some kickstarter success with a small microgame called Orc Stabr and we are right now campaigning for a game called Americana

[19:32] <+LiamGintySPG> Americana is a game designed around murder mysteries, set in a fantasy version of the 1950s, you play as teenagers, build a magical fantasy town and then try to solve the murder of your close friend – who you also generate as a character during session zero

[Q&A] Sarah Newton (The Chronicles of Future Earth)

[19:45] <+SarahNewton> OK! Hi everyone, I’m Sarah Newton, author of RPGs like Mindjammer, Achtung Cthulhu, Monsters & Magic, and others, and I’m here this evening to talk about my new project, The Chronicles of Future Earth.

[19:45] <+SarahNewton> It’s a roleplaying game set in the far, far future of our own planet Earth – but one after we’ve risen to greatness, conquered the galaxy, and then collapsed into a new and extremely long dark age, filled with gods, demons, magic, lost technologies, and ancient secrets.

[19:46] <+SarahNewton> It’s a cosmic fantasy roleplaying game – it feels like fantasy in play, it’s gritty, perilous, with an ancient / mediaeval-world feel.

[19:47] <+SarahNewton> But in the background, there’s this massive mysterious history that somehow got us from 2018 to the year 100,000AD, when gods, demons, and monsters are real, ruins of ancient civilisations lie everywhere.

[Q&A] Mark Sabalauskas (Return to the Stars!)

[19:31] <+MarkSab> Hi, I’m Mark Sabalauskas, and I wrote Return to the Stars, which is an optimistic Science Fiction RPG

[19:32] <+MarkSab> It is “powered by Fate”, so in the lightweight indie narrative tradtion

[19:33] <+MarkSab> I want to give people ways to stories of exploration and adventure in an optimistic space opera setting.

[19:33] <&Le_Squide> Got a link to website or kickstarter?

[19:33] <~Dan> (Please hold questions until the end of the introduction. Thanks! 🙂 )

[19:34] <+MarkSab> So, think Star Trek, with the twist that you come from a post scarcity culture of gamers and geeks.

[19:34] <+MarkSab> So imagine if Kirk were a genetically enhanced cosplayer, or Scotty hung out at maker faires.

[19:35] <+MarkSab> Thanks for the reminder about the kickstarter link, this is my first game, I probably would have forgotten it!

[19:35] <+MarkSab> (Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2086583832/return-to-the-stars-optimistic-scifi-rpg)https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2086583832/return-to-the-stars-optimistic-scifi-rpg

[19:36] <+MarkSab> If you already love games powered by Fate, we’ve added some fun new subsystems that you can enjoy: character arcs, competitions, downtime tinkering, props, and a large selection of space opera skills and stunts.

[19:36] <+MarkSab> This really a hopepunk game

[19:37] <+MarkSab> Star Trek is a huge influence for the game, and probably me personally, growing up on stories that valued science and spoke of diverse people being stronger because they work together.
