[Q&A] Andrew Frinkle (The Demon Age: Apocalyptic Modern Day 5E Campaign & Setting)

[7:32 PM]MediaStream Press: So I’m Andrew Frinkle, team lead on the project we’re discussing tonight. I’m the owner/founder of MediaStream Press, which has produced educational materials, games, works of fiction, and TTRPG stuff (which is why we’re here).

[7:32 PM]MediaStream Press: I wanted to share The Demon Age with you all, our current project. It’s a Modern Day take on 5E, with some minor changes to the rules to fit the modern day, all in order to allow you guys to be Demon Hunters and take on a pack of demons intent on ruining the Earth.

[7:33 PM]MediaStream Press: I’ve got a big team of writers, a few of which might pop in and throw in some questions and answers tonight.

[7:34 PM]MediaStream Press: I’m excited to talk about the rules changes, the creatures, the character making, the setting, the premise, and even the theology that comes with this, especially since it seems like there is not a TON of modern 5E out there. I mean, there’s some for sure, but not like the fantasy genre that is usually written for it.

[Q&A] Christian Conkle (The Terror-Dome of Warlord Daikhan) [Q&A]

[1:02 PM]Christian Conkle: Hello, I’m Christian Conkle and I’m here today to talk about my latest RPG project the Terror-Dome of of Warlord Daikhan. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/440983/The-TerrorDome-of-Warlord-DaikhanThe Terror-Dome of Warlord Daikhan – Geek Rampage | DriveThruRPG.com 1

[1:02 PM]Christian Conkle: Its an adventure scenario compatible with Stars Without Number.

[1:04 PM]Christian Conkle: Heavily inspired by low-budget 80s science fiction movies like Spacehunter – Adventures in the Forbidden Zone, Metalstorm – the Destruction of Jared Syen, Ice Pirates, Escape from New York, Star Raider, and more.

[1:04 PM]Christian Conkle: I felt like “low-budget movies filmed in the California/Spanish/Argentian desert that make extensive use of abandoned power stations for sets” was an un-tapped genre.

[1:06 PM]Christian Conkle: In the adventure, the PCs are recruited to go undercover on a prison planet to rescue a captured cyborg courier and the important data they carry from a ruthless warlord and his war criminal minions.

[Q&A] Scon (Soot: Tales of Tenebrous)

[1:01 PM]Scon: Hey there everyone! I am the writer of Soot: Tales of Tenebrous which was released last Friday! I am thrilled that I am already doing a Q&A and want to thank Dan the GMshoe for this opportunity. I can tell you a little about myself, before getting to the good stuff. I have been roleplaying for around 20 years and played various systems including World of Darkness, DnD (various editions), Edge of Midnight and Savage worlds. I found that I really enjoyed narrative systems but nothing quite got it right for me. Either it had a nice vibe but the mechanics of the system weren’t quite there for me or there were nice rules but they didn’t quite help support the narrative as I wanted it to. So I created Soot with the idea of blending mechanics and narrative as well as creating a robust ruleset that a GM can use as much or as little of as they feel works for their game and gaming group.  I think that’s enough about me! I have popped the general summary of Soot below that you can find on the itch.io site or on my discord. That said this summary doesn’t cover everything about Soot so I guess that is why I am here today to answer any questions you might have!! Oh and visit the server below if you like the idea of entering a competition for a free copy of soot! … more info incoming…

[1:01 PM]Scon: Soot is an in-depth noir style table top system where Players can explore and investigate the mysterious Tenebrous in a world much like our own. GM’s can set their campaign in any age of the world; from the ancient world to a future yet to come. Players can explore and investigate myths, legends and their own personal stories in the world of Tenebrous! *** What if life as we know it wasn’t all there was on Earth? If somewhere, hiding in the shadows of the world, intelligent and strange life grew alongside our own? A life which thrived only because of its own will to persist; a life that could change the very fabric of reality with its desires. Where humanity embraced technology, this life sought refuge in mysticism and magic. Would humanity strive to work together with this life, putting aside its differences and daring to trust, even if that meant embracing the strange and unknown? Or would humanity seek to protect itself from the threat of something alien to them? Should humanity dare to explore the hidden depths of the world or seek safety in the light? These are the stories of that world, where the hidden reveals itself in a tangled web of mysteries, life and death hang in the balance of a single choice, and the clash of violence can lead to either safety and refuge or despair and annihilation. This is the world of Soot, and the Tales of Tenebrous.

[Q&A] Ted Bushman (The Last Caravan: A Cars and Aliens Tabletop RPG)

[1:07 PM]TheTed: Hello there! I’m Ted Bushman—a writer, game designer, and composer from western Pennsylvania, currently based out of NYC. I’m a very early-career science fiction/fantasy writer, I’ve been published in Beneath Ceaseless Skies & Metaphorosis. Occasionally I’m a GM for Ghostlight RPGs, where I run an improv-focused game of Blades in the Dark called The Contraband. I love cross country road trips, the quiet of winter, and creating deep worlds.

[1:08 PM]TheTed: I’m the designer of The Last Caravan: A Cars and Aliens Roleplaying Game, a game about a midwinter road trip in the wake of an alien invasion. You could call it Little Miss Sunshine meets War of the Worlds. We came to kickstarter on Tuesday! We funded our very modest base funding goal in 12 hours, and just hit our first stretch goal. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/theodoreinthevalley/the-last-caravan-a-cars-and-aliens-tabletop-rpgKickstarterTed BushmanThe Last Caravan: A Cars and Aliens Tabletop RPGAn RPG about a midwinter road trip in the wake of an alien invasion. “Little Miss Sunshine” meets “War of the Worlds.”

[1:09 PM]TheTed: A pitch for the game: In this cozy, melancholy post-apocalypse, the aliens came less than a year ago. The war lasted two months, but nobody won. Now, with an alien army rising from the ashes of war, you will have to make a dangerous journey across a shattered North America in search of a new home.You are normal people finding heroism in extraordinary circumstances. You will explore transformed landscapes, search abandoned towns, discover otherworldly technology, negotiate with newly-formed factions, outrun alien pursuers, and — and all you’ve got is a car, your fellow travelers, and the road.

[1:09 PM]TheTed: The Last Caravan takes inspiration from XCOM 2, Fallout: New Vegas, The Long Dark, as well as, like the* Oregon Trail,* I guess!
