7:34 PM +Jeremy: Worlds licensee as well.

7:35 PM +Jeremy: Heroes of Terra: The Mushroom War is a video-game inspired pulp sword and sorcery setting. The basic premise can be summed up as “John Carter of Mario World.”

7:36 PM +Griffin_Games: Sounds very cool so far!

7:37 PM +Jeremy: Terra is a brightly colored world of magic and mysteries, inspired by early era Nintendo games but meant to played as straight as the individual group wants. The main focus is on humans from Earth who are magically transported to Terra, where they gain amazing magical powers, but you can also play native Terrans, including floral and fungal

I’m Erik Bernhardt, a project manager and game designer working on “Brinkwood: The Blood of Tyrants”, a forged in the dark tabletop RPG now on kickstarter at brinkwood.net.

7:32 PM +ErikTheBearik: Brinkwood is a game where the players take on the role brigands: rebels, thieves, and outcasts working to overthrow the vampires who rule their medieval, gothic world.

[Q&A] Zach Goings (The Horrors of Glynn)

8:34 PM +Zack: Hi everyone,

8:34 PM +Zack: My name is Zack Goings, I’m the Creative Director of STONEworks Gaming

8:35 PM +Griffin_Games: Hi Dan, sorry stepped away for a sec

8:35 PM +Zack: Currently we are working a GRIM/DARK Gothic Horror Campaign Setting for 5th Edition D&D

8:35 PM +Zack: Titled “The Horrors of Glynn”

8:35 PM +Cortana: I hate to sound like I am 12 but I misread that as “Tittied”

8:35 PM +Zack: Lmao

8:36 PM +Zack: I’m sure a lot of you are familiar with the ruleset for D&D, possibly even 5th Edition

8:36 PM +Cortana: I have vague knowledge of 5E

8:36 PM +Cortana: <- not a TTRPG gamer

8:37 PM +Zack: It focuses a lot the narrative of the storytelling as opposed to older editions which relied more heavily on the game mechanics

8:38 PM +Zack: And while I do like that approach overall, there are way to introduce new mechanics that help blend with the narrative, and that’s one of the big things that really will set our book apart from a lot of other third party 5e settings

7:37 PM +JeremyMJack: I am the creator, writer, artist, and designer of the game but like the first line in the book says, “Planetbound is so much bigger than me.” There have been hundreds of contributors since 1990. So I am thrilled to finally release a commercial version on its 30th anniversary.

7:41 PM +JeremyMJack: What else would you like to know 🙂

[Q&A] Robert Conley (The Majestic Fantasy RPG)

7:30 PM +robertsconley: I’m Rob Conley, a cartographer, writer and publisher living in rural northwest Pennsylvania.

7:30 PM +robertsconley: Publishing under the name of Bat in the Attic Games

7:30 PM +robertsconley: I am known for my work with maps notably redrawing all 18 maps of Judges Guild Wilderlands of High Fantasy along with the City State of the Invincible Overlord map.

7:30 PM +robertsconley: I am also known for writing about sandbox fantasy campaigns, and publishing small hexcrawl formatted setting like Blackmarsh and the Points of Light series from Goodman Games.

7:30 PM +robertsconley: My settings are based on the Majestic Wilderlands campaign that I been running since 1981.

7:30 PM +robertsconley: Recently I decided to package these rules as the Majestic Fantasy RPG formatted as a series of supplements that can be used together or with other RPGs based on the classic editions.

7:31 PM +robertsconley: The foundation of this series is a set of basic rules covering levels 1 to 5 that ties together the different elements into a single supplement. Each subsequent supplement will flesh different parts of the system as well as parts of the Majestic Fantasy Realms.

[Q&A] Charles Allen (Victorian Gothic)

7:37 PM +Charles: Alright. I’m Charles Allen and I’m the developer and main writer for Victorian Gothic, which is a game that focuses on the literature of the era and the silent films and early talkies that came soon after.

7:38 PM +Charles: You play from a mortal perspective, but you can become a monster through play.

7:40 PM +Charles: The game focuses on a rules lite theater approach, but I wanted a solid middle ground between the theater of WoD and CoC and more “fighter” friendly games like D&D, if that makes sense.

7:40 PM ~Dan: It does!

7:43 PM +Charles: There are five paths (called Vocations) in the game you start out in: Hunter, Investigator, Psychic, Spiritualist or Sorcerer.

7:45 PM +Charles: You also choose backgrounds like in CoC or the recent version of D&D, which effects your starting skills. Character creation is point buying, which gives you a good variety of options to play on.
