Complete game Demo of Shadow Run Encounters from Catalyst Game Labs. It’s a push your luck dice game where running is a mechanic. Be careful though it can have a price.
I’m a fan of push your luck games, this one has a lot of appeal because of some extra mechanics.
It wouldn’t be a Gen Con without talking with Palladium books about Rifts, Palladium and Nightbane.
Secrets of Atlantis, future Palladium Fantasy books, and Nightbane.
Palladium Open House here I come!
I Did get to talk with James Sutter about Starfinder @Gencon. I caught him off guard a couple of times with questions that are light years away in development. But we did discuss societies and organizations a good bit, and his favorite character.
I’m looking forward to Starfinder, I wish I would have picked it up at Gen Con, but they were gone.
I caught up with Randall Bills at Gen Con 50 and Wow did we talk about a lot of stuff. Aside from the cool stuff for Dragonfire, We discussed Zero Day, Master of Orion, CBT, Crossfire, new plastics, and The Duke – Lords of Legacy
There is a lot of good information in here. Time to bust open Dragonfire! Check back Saturday for the Box Breaking!
In this Flip Through Matt takes a look at Pathfinders Ultimate Magic from Paizo. While this book isn’t new it is to Matt so he is sharing.
All in all it’s a good book. I think at this point some of the material can be expanded upon, but it’s still a solid foundation for growth.
In this Flip Through Matt takes a look at the first book of the Coalition Wars Campaign The Seige on Tolkeen for Rifts from Palladium Books. this starts the story of Tech VS. Magic in the Rifts universe – well I mean makes truly volatile.
Currently running a campaign that is leading up this part of Rifts history.
In this Flip Through Matt Takes a look at Pathfinders’ Adventurer’s Guide from Paizo. This book focuses on eighteen organizations players and GM’s can use from the Inner Sea region. They get a good look at everything from feats to spells.
The Adventurer’s Guide is a little different than most of their books, but it had to be.
They can call you a trog. Sure they can. Let ’em think it’s smear. Let them show you what they don’t know. Let them ignore history, the great accomplishments orks and trolls have made in every field in the Sixth World, the homes and enclaves they’ve built out of nothing. There’s enough talent in the trog population to punch, hack, rig, charm, or enchant that smug smile right off their face. You know what you are. They’ll learn—fast, if they know what’s good for them.
The Complete Trog is the definitive guide for ork and troll characters in Shadowrun. With information on what it’s like to be an ork or troll in dozens of spots across the globe, details on working in corps as a trog (including in ork- and troll-dominated corps) and the heroes and enemies of trog culture, the book helps players add flavor and depth to their characters and the world around them. On top of that, it has gear, qualities, and life modules compatible with both Shadowrun, Fifth Edition and Shadowrun: Anarchy. Plunge into the rich culture of trogs and watch them turn that slur on its head.
When I spoke with Randall I was fortunate enough to get the first look at the Masters of Orion deck building game. We get a sneak peak of Shadowrun Zero Day and we discuss Dragonfire.
I did get to play Dragonfire I will chat about that later.
I ran into Jason Hardy from Catalyst Game Labs at Origins 2017 and as always we had a great chat. One of the first things we discussed was the tarot deck – it’s beautiful. We also discussed Seattle Sprawl, Anarchy, and Cutting Aces.
I can’t wait to pick up Cutting Aces – I hope it’s as good as I believe it to be.
