[Q&A] Ian Sharpe (When the Wolf Comes RPG)

[7:35 PM] Vikingverse: I am Ian Stuart Sharpe. I like to imagine I am descended from Guðrum, King of the East Angles, although DNA tests and a deep disdain for camping suggest otherwise. I am the author of two novels set in an alternate Vikingverse, the All Father Paradox and Loki’s Wager, as well as an Old Norse phrasebook and a whole heap of Jotunn War Comics. My RPG – When the Wolf Comes – is set in said parallel timeline where the Norse rule seas and stars with restless fleets and Christianity has been put to the Viking sword. It utilizes Robert J. Schwalb’s Shadow of the Demon Lord rules under license but is a standalone game. (done)

[Q&A] Andrew Bishkinskyi (Deep & Dangerous 5e)

[2:05 PM] Andrew B: Hello! I’m Andrew Bishkinskyi, the lead designer for Deep & Dangerous 5e, currently funding (200% funded woohoo!) on Kickstarter. Folks may know me for my previous Kickstarter book – Den of Assassins, and other freelance TTRPG writing work. I’ve done freelance jobs for Wizards of the Coast, Ghostfire Gaming, and quite a few DMsGuild content producers. I’ve also published a lot of D&D Adventurers League work through DMsGuild, and I was a finalist on last years D&D Dungeon Master Challenge.

[2:06 PM] Andrew B: Deep & Dangerous is the latest thing I’m doing – it is a spiritual successor in a way to Den of Assassins.

[2:08 PM] Andrew B: Mainly format-wise – we’re once again presenting a new subclasses for each core 5e class, a few other player options such as races and feats, and then more than half of the book is dedicated to game master tools such as monsters – and monster factions! – random tables, magic items, and even a micro-setting. All this to enable a GM to drop subterranean exploration into their own campaign.

[Q&A] Zac Goins & Zack Goings (GrymWyrd Tales – Volume 1: Siblings)

[7:33 PM] Zac Goins: Yeah! So, my name is Zac Goins and my friend here is Zack Goings…it’s a weird coincidence. We both work at World of Game Design – a newer TTRPG game company.

[7:34 PM] Zac Goins: To date, we’ve ran about 30 campaigns in the last couple years.

[7:35 PM] Zac Goins: Our newest campaign is one of our smallest projects. We wanted to start an anthology series of horror adventures for 5e. The series is called GrymWyrd Tales and our first adventure can be found here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stoneworksgaming/grymwyrd-tales-volume-1-siblings

[Q&A] Laurie O’Connel (Hieronymus: Garden of Earthly Delights Edition)

[3:04 PM] laurieoconnel: Hi there! So I’m Laurie, I’m an indie ttrpg developer probably best known for Lichcraft. Right now I’m crowdfunding a game called Hieronymus, which I’d describe as an apocalyptic hexcrawl rpg based on the work of the medieval artist Hieronymus Bosch (edited)

[3:05 PM] laurieoconnel: I’ll post the link to the crowdfund here, but mainly so people can see the cover illustration, and becaus it should give you some idea of the art in question…

[Q&A] Maxwell Carr & Mikael D. Sebag (Hellguard: Curse of Caina)

[7:40 PM] Max C (Granite Glyph Publishing): You bet! I’m Max Carr and this is @Mikael S (Granite Glyph) (Mikael Sebag) with Granite Glyph Publishing, thrilled to announce full funding for our flagship tabletop roleplaying game, Hellguard: Curse of Caina! Hellguard: Curse of Caina is a tabletop roleplaying game inspired by Diablo, Castlevania, Call of Cthulhu, and other dark fantastic worlds. The game focuses on the land of Caina, a continent buried in the long shadow of an infernal war that twisted the landscape and warped the hearts of its people. Villages scrape by on the edges of barren wilderness, ignorant of the supernatural evil that walks the streets. Ancient apocrypha, ripped from the tongues of tortured saints, portend that Hell will wage a new war on humanity from the shadows. But against the specter of annihilation stand the few damned souls with the power—and the will—to save this tragic world from itself. and we’re happy to be here
