<+GrahamBottley> Good evening everyone

<+GrahamBottley> My name is Graham Bottley from Arion Games, and we are running a Kickstarter at the moment for an RPG called “Crown and Dragon”

<+GrahamBottley> This is based upon a classic novel by the (now) acclaimed author Stephen Hunt]

<+GrahamBottley> and steam vehicles…

<+GrahamBottley> and beastmen…

<+GrahamBottley> and enchanted forests!

<+GrahamBottley> That is the basic outline!

[Q&A] Matt Stevens (Two-Fisted Tales 2e)

<+MattStevens> With pleasure. I’m Matt Stevens, a part time statistician and adjunct professor who lives in New York with his wife and three cats.

<+MattStevens> I’ve loved writing RPGs since I was a pre-teen. Wrote my first when I was 13, called “the egg of coot.” Yes, it was awful, and a ripoff. But I got better at it.

<+MattStevens> In the late 90s a friend introduced me to pulp magazines of the 20s-40s, and started a pulp campaign, but no existing system seemed right to me.

<+MattStevens> So for the next several years, whenever I was frustrated with my dissertation, I’d work on the game that became Two-Fisted Tales.

[Q&A] Lupo Condotta (Kisarta)

<+Lupo> Well hello everyone I’m Lupo, author of Kisarta. Kisarta is our latest project, a dark fantasy setting for 5E that will bring your characters to an underworld filled with madness, despair and deep secrets.

<+Lupo> To bring this feeling into 5E we twisted the rules of the original game here and there: we introduced a level advancement system that revolves around discovering those secrets and completing goals that go deeper and deeper into the setting’s lore and introduced rules for madness and damnation.

<+Lupo> The setting itself is sort of a planar setting: the souls of the dead that arrive here awaken in Limbo and from there they start their journey that will bring them trough the Seven Dominions of Kisarta, ruled by powerful Guardians.

<+Lupo> If I had to sum it up I’d say that it is a heavily lore-oriented setting with a clear path towards the discovery of the deepest secrets of it and rules to support the atmosphere of dread and desperation around the table.
