[Q&A] Jeff Mechlinski (Charm)

<+Charm_Jeff> Hello! I am Jeff Mechlinski – Co-Founder of Strange Machine Games

<+Charm_Jeff> I have published 2 RPG games: SuperAge + Age Past, and we are about to launch teh pre-sale for teh new Robotech RPG

<+Charm_Jeff> I have an upcoming Kickstarter for a game called Charm – the KS launches Oct 2nd

<+Charm_Jeff> Charm is a small format RPG. It has a small rule set and is easy to learn. It it a straight simulation type game that can replicate the effects of much more complex games, using only a tiny ruleset of about 10k words

<+Charm_Jeff> A Charm character can be made in minutes or even seconds and the game can work with almost any genre

<+Charm_Jeff> The base game comes with the standard rules and 7 5k word scenarios – each scenario has rules that modify the basic Charm rules

<+TroyEndGameGaming> Good evening

<+Charm_Jeff> Charm is interesting because your character can fit on a business sized PC sheet

<+Charm_Jeff> hey there!!

<+Charm_Jeff> and yopu just need 2 dice to play – a d6 and a d20

<+Charm_Jeff> I think that’s a basic summary

[Q&A] J. Felix (New Horizon)

<+Felix> Good evening everyone! Thank you for your interest in New Horizon. Also, a special thanks to Dan for giving me the opportunity of being here today. I’m looking forward to answering any questions you might have for me tonight. I’m the creator and author of New Horizon: A Dark Fantasy All-In-One Core Book

[Q&A] Richard Kelly (Rod, Reel, & Fist)

<+Richard> Hey all! I’m Richard, designer/author of The Dawnline and Firefighter Sharks In Space, and I’d like to present to you Rod, Reel, & Fist.

<+Richard> Should I throw down a link to the Kickstarter page?

<~Dan> Sure!

<+Richard> Awesome!

<+Richard> Rod, Reel, & Fist is an all-ages fishing adventure rpg

<+Richard> You play as fishers voyaging into a slightly magical area to find a wish-granting fish that will save their village.

<+Richard> Along the way you catch fish, wrangle local wildlife, and overcome obstacles.

<+Richard> The game is dice-based, specifically d6s, and you do roll to see if you can triumph over certain challenges, but the game is designed so that all setbacks are temporary.

<+Richard> Failing, or getting chased off by dangerous animals, or letting a fish slip away causes you to take Exhaustion. Exhaustion builds up and makes your rolls harder, but you can discard all of it by making camp and kicking back with your friends for a little bit.

<+Richard> So the game, by default, is pretty gentle, but you can easily customize it to fit whatever level of challenge and tension your group wants.

<+Richard> Also very customizable is the setting.

<+Richard> By default, you’re playing in a sort of magical-realism 1980s countryside of Japan, but the book comes with a simple system for building your own setting, and you can make those as weird and specific as you want.

Gianluca Dell’Osso, Federica Ugliano, and Pierluigi Cava (Age of Uranus)

<+Federica> All right! Hi everyone, my name is Federica and I am the English translator (or would-be so) of the Age of Uranus game

<+Federica> we are joined by Gianluca, the author of the game, and Pierluigi, the editor, although they are making me speak because they don’t trust their English

<+Federica> Age of Uranus is an urban fantasy game of mystery, intrigue and passion

<+Federica> so it’s set in our world and takes much from our mythology, but also from conspiracy theories, with secret societies and the like

<+Federica> characters are more than common humans – Gianluca calls them Hyper-humans – who will solve mysteries while part of a supernatural world of strict hierarchies

<+Federica> characters will also be driven by passions which define them, and the game has a heavy emphasis on art

<+Federica> to the point that an essential part of gameplay is the use of illustrations to give focus to characters and create drama

<+Federica> We had started a Kickstarter campaign to publish Age of Uranus on the 1st of September. Unfortunately the campaign was not attracting enough people and so yesterday we had to cancel it

<+Federica> but we still plan to make this game, so we decided to be here today despite canceling 🙂
