[Q&A] Matthew Chiamis (Yōkai Tales)

[7:31 PM]Monomyth Games: I am Matthew Chiamis and I run Monomyth Games. We have done a few Borg games like Castaway and Bug Borg but we are releasing our first totally original work right now with Yokai Tales!

[7:34 PM]Monomyth Games: It is a paranormal investigation game that takes place in Edo period Japan. After an age of war, the Sengoku period for the history buffs, the massive amount of death thinned the veil between the human world and the supernatural. Some spirits born or came to take advantage of the horrors, others to protect places or things, more still perhaps just spilled over with the rest. But one thing is for certain they are here now and apart of the world.

[7:35 PM]Monomyth Games: Now that the Tokugawa Shogunate has unified Japan – as in our real history – there is enough peace and room to begin investigating the supernatural, a want, and a need for it.

[7:36 PM]Monomyth Games: So many factions are created to investigate for their own various reasons.

[7:37 PM]Monomyth Games: You take the role of an investigator, could be for a faction or your own reasons, and seek out Yokai for profit, power, philanthropy, or maybe peace.

[Q&A] Dee McKinney & Wayne Peacock (Rustwater)

[1:01 PM]Dee McKinney, Kismet Games: Hi, everyone! I’m Dee McKinney, one half of Kismet Games, based out of Athens GA. Today, we’ll be talking about Rustwater, our new Quickstart Release on Kickstarter. Rustwater is High Weirdness, a roll-under system using the Black Sword Hack System.

[1:01 PM]Dee McKinney, Kismet Games: Done

[1:02 PM]Wayne Peacock (Kismet Games): Hey, I’m Wayne Peacock, I’m the other half of Kismet. I wrote and did layout on the game.

[1:02 PM]Dan (Hardboiled GMshoe): (Done, @Wayne Peacock (Kismet Games)? )

[1:03 PM]Dee McKinney, Kismet Games: I think he’s done; I just type faster1

[1:03 PM]Wayne Peacock (Kismet Games): Rustwater is a fantasy setting, based on thepremise: What would happen to a coastal culture, much like 18th-century Amsterdam/ Istanbul/Copenhagen, if it were destroyed in a supernatural cataclysm? We use “Rustwater” to refer both to the world and the game itself. This world is not Earth, but it has many familiar elements. Rustwater falls into the niche of “high weirdness.” It has elements of post-apocalypse, horror, and traditional fantasy. We drew on elements of mythpunk and magipunk, layering it all in a collage of seafaring culture. The rules and system establish high stakes and risks. Characters will die. Magic is twisty and unpredictable.

[1:03 PM]Wayne Peacock (Kismet Games): DONE

[Q&A] Karl Druid (Frontier Scum)

[1:01 PM]makedatanotlore: Howdy! I’m Karl Druid – author of FRONTIER SCUM.

FRONTIER SCUM is an ENNIE-winning Acid Western fantasy roleplaying game set on the Lost Frontier, where players take on the role of wanted outlaws just trying to make the best of it.
