[Q&A] K. David Ladage (Arcanum)

[19:02] <+KDLadage> Hi. My name is K. David Ladage. I am just this guy, ya know?
[19:02] <+KDLadage> I am a role-playing from way back (started with Red Box D&D back in 1978-1979).
[19:02] <+KDLadage> I have played a lot of RPGs over the years. My favorites were the ones that kep things relatively simple -- Classic Traveller being a good one.
[19:03] <+KDLadage> Back in the mid 1980s, after the whole 'steam tunnels' thing in Michigan, I had my life turned upside down as my mother decided that all that RPG stuff was the devil's work.
[19:03] <+KDLadage> That was when, while at my local book store, I noticed this cool game with a black cover and a giant red pentagram on the cover. My first thought was 'gotta get me a copy of that.'
[19:04] *** egyptian has joined #rpgnet
[19:04] *** ChanServ sets mode +ao egyptian egyptian
[19:04] <~Dan> (Howdy, egyptian!)
[19:04] <+KDLadage> The Arcanum (second edition) was a great little game. But after time, I migrated over into other 'more serious' games. GURPS became my game of choice for many, many years.

[Q&A] Jonathan M. Thompson (Crios)

[19:06] <+JMThompson> Good evening/morning/etc to everyone. I am Jonathan M. Thompson, owner and director of Battlefield Press and one of the chief writers on our new game currently being kickstarted.
[19:07] <+JMThompson> The world is a traditional fantasy world, only after an event known as the "god wars" magic has become unstable. In the years since the God Wars, magic has steadily waned and become unstable, giving rise in its place an industrial revolution and technologies that now do what magic once did, and at a cheaper cost.
[19:08] *** Ximni has left #rpgnet
[19:08] <+JMThompson> All of this doesn't come without a price, now that price is they are involved in a brutal world war. Crios is a fantasy campaign setting that mashes the fantasy genre with that of Earth's First World War. This will be a complete RPG based on the Renaissance Deluxe setting published by Cakebread & Walton.
