[Q&A] Marco Chacon (JAGS Wonderland)

<+Marco-Wonderland> I am Marco-the author of JAGS (Just Another Gaming System at (Link: http://www.jagsrpg.com)www.jagsrpg.com) and JAGS Wonderland

<+Marco-Wonderland> which is a modern-day horror world-book for JAGS.

<+Marco-Wonderland> It has been around for a while–people who have read it tend to plug it more than anything else we’ve done.

<+Marco-Wonderland> usually saying “I hate the game system but I love the world book!”

<+Marco-Wonderland> In JAGS Wonderland the characters are experiencing the incursion of an alternate reality

<+Marco-Wonderland> that evidences as their world getting much stranger to them–and their behavior getting much stranger to everyone else–at least at first.

<+Marco-Wonderland> as the “infection” progresses the changes in “the real world” (Which is called Chessboard 0) can become more and more “real” and the characters can, if they survive, get more and more powerful

<+Marco-Wonderland> by picking up mutations called Twists–which are, ideally, based on your character’s personality

<+Marco-Wonderland> Otherwise, it is a conspiracy game with people getting infected and vanishing (swallowed up by the lower realities) or things being “haunted” (beings on the lower realities effecting the real world)

<+Marco-Wonderland> and some gods and monsters down at the bottom who are some of the characters like the Queen of Hearts and the Chesshire cat and so on.

<+Marco-Wonderland> I think that’s the short intro

[Q&A] Devon Oratz (Resist & Remember)

<+DevonOracz> Greetings everyone. I’m Devon Oratz–I wrote a bunch of stuff for Shadowrun, and I also used to have my own game company, released more than 12 products over half a dozen game lines I created, got a couple ENnie nominations, but basically I’m just a dude, your standard issue gamer–and my game I hope to talk to y’all about is called Resist & Remember.

<+DevonOracz> It’s an anti-fascist RPG about punching Nazis in the face, if not literally, then figuratively. The game is going to be released in installments (I haven’t decided on a proper noun yet) which will include a built-in setting or wrapper.

<+DevonOracz> The setting of this first prototype edition is Berlin during the fall of the Weimar Republic and the rise of Nazi Germany.

[Q&A] Stephen Turner (Chivalry & Sorcery 5th edition)

<+Stephen> OK, Im Stephen Turner, I started roleplaying in 1979 after a few years as a wargamer.  Over the years played a number of different systems from AD&D to Savage Worlds.  I cut my writing teeth on scenarios for UK Gencon and other UK cons (I wrote the Ravenloft open two years running).  I was also the RPGA Regional Director for the West Midlands in the UK,

<~Dan> (cut off at “Midlands in the UK,”)

<+Stephen> This led to me organising and running a small con which grew to 3 days and 3000 delegates in 2002 (resurrected this year).  In 1997 I formed Brittannia Game Designs Ltd to create supplements for Chivalry and Sorcery. (before you ask the spelling was to avoid clashing with another company)

<+Stephen> 12 months after we had released our first product Highlander Designs went bust and we acquired the entire IP for C&S.  Since then we have released a number of products including 4th edition in 2000.  After the con in 2002 we took a couple of years out.

<+Stephen> Then personal matters took over and its taken us a while to get back but we are proud to be in a position to launch the kickstarter for the 5th edition of Chivalry and Sorcery which funded in 16 hours.   done

[Q&A] Jack Rosetree (Antimatter)

<+JackRosetree> Hi there! I’m Jack Rosetree and I’m a solo designer of board, card, and role-playing games. Lately I’ve been launching small digital-only micro-RPGs through Kickstarter and my latest is called Antimatter.

<+JackRosetree> Antimatter is a rules-light role-playing game where characters don’t have successes and failures. They have successes and antisuccesses. But just as the creation of matter results in antimatter, successes beget antisuccesses and vice-versa.

<+JackRosetree> Here’s a link: (Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jackrosetree/antimatter-a-cosmically-balanced-rpg)https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jackrosetree/antimatter-a-cosmically-balanced-rpg

<+JackRosetree> There’s a sample character sheet and a complete rules document available on the campaign page.

<+JackRosetree> That’s the short of it. (done)
