7:32 PM +Richard: Mendicant Spell Vixens is an old-school-influenced tabletop dungeon-crawling rpg where the players take on the roles of foxes trying to break into ancient, formidable Coops. And get away with chicken.

7:33 PM +Richard: It’s designed to be a bit crunchy, but very easy to learn and teach, and hopefully to capture some of that old adventure game magic.

[2:05:20 PM] <Nick-DrinkingHornGames> My name is Nick Porter and I’m half of Drinking Horn Games. We brought our first RPG, Sagas of Midgard, to Kickstarter in 2018 and funded in 90 minutes. Our current project, Terrors and Tommyguns, is a Cosmic Horror Noir RPG set in a fictionalized 1920s world and is on Kickstarter for *checks watch* 5 more hours. We’ve hit four Stretch Goals with

[Q&A] Christopher M. Miller (Ankur: Land of the First People)

8:40 PM +ChrisMillerGames: So, my name is Chris Miller and I’m an indie tabletop game designer living in Atlanta GA.

8:41 PM +ChrisMillerGames: I only have two games out currently….an RPG called ANKUR and a political card game titled: Collusion

[Q&A] Fraser Simons (Yonder)

7:32 PM +fraser_simons: Hi, I’m Fraser Simons, the writer and designer of the tabletop roleplaying game Yonder. A game where you play people who flee a cataclysm believed to be caused by an ongoing generational war into a magical land that alters them as they reveal their inner nature.

7:33 PM +fraser_simons: Acts of bravery or daring, cunning, or cowardice are catalysts that physically and magically change a person. Catalysts are a commodity that is collected when player characters have character-defining moments. Each time a PC gets a catalyst, they get to say how their character changes. When they get enough catalysts, they can be spent to create a

7:33 PM +fraser_simons: trait. This gives the player character more fictional positioning and can help them out mechanically, when pertinent.

7:33 PM +fraser_simons: The group as a whole, before character creation, go through a procedure that defines the setting. The only mandatory thing is that people must change when they reveal their inner nature. This is codified as a universal truth. Players can then add more universal truths or play to find out and add them as they are encountered. Otherwise how a person

7:33 PM +fraser_simons: changes is assumed to be an individual truth, applying to that specific person only—be they PC or NPC.

7:33 PM +fraser_simons: Yonder is fundamentally about exploring the literalization of change in a person within a fantasy context and what said changes look like for you and your friends. But done in such a way as to interrogate fantasy tropes in an open, collaborative way.

[Q&A] Joe Hunter & Travis Cumming (Acheron)

7:45 PM +Joe: Hi all, I’m Joe! One of three indie Devs working on a new, D20 ttRPG called Acheron ((Link: http://kck.st/3ijyXMr)http://kck.st/3ijyXMr). It’s what we call a Grimpunk RPG. Grim, because the world is dark and everyone has an agenda they’ll throw you under the bus for…More or less. Punk, because we wanted to envoke the images that go along with things like Dieselpunk and

7:45 PM +Joe: Atompunk

7:45 PM +Gary: D20 as in the 3.0/3.5 rules?

7:46 PM ~Dan: (Please hold questions until after the introduction. 🙂 )

7:46 PM +Gary: Sorry

7:46 PM ~Dan: (np 🙂 )

7:47 PM +Joe: We have a wide range of influences from the Dishonored/Bloodborne videogames to the literary works of H.G. Wells and Lovecraft. Many other ttRPGs also influenced us. Including 3.5 and Pathfinder (reason for our skills/extensive and free-form character creation), Call of Cthulhu (sanity), World of Darkness (Merits/Flaws system), Numenera and more!

[Q&A] Barney Menzies (Shiver RPG)

3:01 PM +Barney: HI my name is Barney Menzies and I am one of the developers of SHIVER.

3:03 PM +Barney: SHIVER is a ttrpg inspired by classic horror movies, pulp films and cult tv shows.

3:03 PM +Barney: The system was born out of mine and my brother’s (SHIVER’s other developer) love for cinema. We wanted to bring our favourite films to the table top but found other systems didn’t quite capture what we wanted to achieve.

3:05 PM +Barney: SHIVER is setting neutral allowing players to take on any character, in any time period and any setting meaning you can really take it to any place you like. Would you survive the horror movie? Make that sequel you always wanted? The options are endless.

3:06 PM +Barney: The other core goal of SHIVER  was to be a really good introductory platform to new RPG players. Alot of our friends had never played before and we wanted to design something that was more beginner friendly than other systems but still had enough depth for experienced players to sink their teeth into.

3:06 PM +Barney: As a result the system is very story focused, with symbolic dice and reduced maths to up the immersion and reduce the calculations.

3:07 PM +Barney: We’ve been working on the system for 3 years now and are super excited to be bringing it to Kickstarter on October 27th and seeing people outside our playtester group playing it!
