[7:33 PM]Matthew, Meromorph Games: Hi! We’re brothers Matthew and Kevin from Meromorph Games, here to talk about Atma Season III!

[7:34 PM]Matthew, Meromorph Games: We started out making a few card games, but Kevin’s long been an avid TTRPG player, and after our second game we started work on something that would try to bridge the board game/TTRPG gap, since we both have a lot of friends that will sit down for game night but not necessarily for a weekly TTRPG campaign.

[7:35 PM]Matthew, Meromorph Games: That idea turned into Atma. Here’s the blurb from the Kickstarter: Atma is a complete roleplaying experience in a tiny card game package. It's portable, quick to set up and teach, and plays in just 2 hours — perfect for game nights or pop-up sessions! A Game Master and 1-4 players use illustrated tarot cards to fuel narrative-focused RPG gameplay in a fantastical, original setting. Atma excels as a tutorial for first-time GMs who've always wanted to run an RPG, while also allowing limitless creativity for roleplaying pros. Season III adds 12 new characters and 4 new stages that can be played standalone or mixed seamlessly with prior Seasons. It also adds Journey cards for campaign play. It’s on Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/meromorphgames/atma-a-roleplaying-card-game-season-iii

[7:36 PM]Matthew, Meromorph Games: For reference, here are what the GM and player areas would look like during a game:

[7:36 PM]Kevin, Meromorph Games:

[7:36 PM]Kevin, Meromorph Games:

[7:37 PM]Kevin, Meromorph Games: And I’m Kevin! Basically everything that Matthew said. We’ve worked on creative hobby projects since we were kids, so doing it together on actual products has been a fun upgrade.

I started BGD in 1997 after a 4 year stint as a RPGA Regional Director, started RPGs in 1979 with AD&D 1st ed after having been a historic wargamer for 4 years. Cut my writing teeth on tournament scenarios for Euro Gencon, writing the Official Ravenloft tournament in 1993 and the RPGA Members Only in 1994. Chivalry & Sorcery is a historical medieval RPG (we take our research seriously) with the added advantage of also being able to do fantasy.

[7:33 PM]Dave (Ascended RPG): Sure thing. Hello everyone!

[7:34 PM]Dave (Ascended RPG): I am a Marine Corps veteran who signed up for boot camp at the age of 17. My favorite hobby up til then had been gaming2

[7:35 PM]Dave (Ascended RPG): My geek friends were rather unique and somewhat outcast. This was in the late ’70s and early 80s

[7:36 PM]Dave (Ascended RPG): We delved into every game we could find and even established a “Great River Gaming Guild”

[7:36 PM]Dave (Ascended RPG): I am sure this story is familiar to many here 1

[7:37 PM]Dave (Ascended RPG): Anyway, I had very little time for gaming and few to join me over the next 23 years. But that did not stop me entirely. I indoctirnated many of my fellow jarheads into various role play games

[7:38 PM]Dave (Ascended RPG): During that time I envisioned a game system that embodied what I enjoyed in games

[7:39 PM]Dave (Ascended RPG): I preferred somewhat more “realistic” action sequences. And magic that offered variety to casters. And psionics that tipped the action in your favor. And lots of crazy, pwerful gods

[7:41 PM]Dave (Ascended RPG): I put far too much of my time into evolving the rules and setting for Ascended (according to my wife, of course).

[7:42 PM]Dave (Ascended RPG): But it is something I truly enjoy. I also coded the character sheet into Roll20. I really want the game to take full advantage of verything technology offers

[7:43 PM]Dave (Ascended RPG): I have been a government servant since retiring from the Corps, for about 15 years now.

[7:36 PM]Hexxefir: My name is Ghislain Durocher. I am a French Canadian who is almost 47 years old and has been playing and running role-playing games since I was 12 or 13. I started like everyone else with D&D, but quickly World of Darkness became my favorite world. I’ve always loved dark games with a lot of roleplay.

[7:38 PM]Hexxefir: I am also a fan of Shadowrun, Cyberpunk, Cops (a French game), and comic books like Spawn and Constantine.

[7:42 PM]Hexxefir: About ten years ago, I decided to create a new role-playing game based on the sessions I was having with my players for fun, and over time, this project took shape. Initially, I never had commercial ambitions, but over time, after comparing projects on Kickstarter, about a year ago I decided to publish my work to see how my game would be received in the RPG world.

[7:46 PM]Hexxefir: I tested several eras and combinations, only to always return to our present time. The game is a dark fantasy role-playing game, set between conspiracy and the occult. Imagine that all the alleged conspiracies and legends are true and hidden from the public by our governments and powerful organizations. You are a Rosicrucian Hunter seeking to protect the world from unexplained threats while trying to understand everything while navigating through conspiracies. I’m not sure if this description is clear, but it quickly summarizes the game.

[7:47 PM]Hexxefir: it’s globally that.

[1:03 PM]b93: Hi I’m Ben Alexander the creator of Ion Heart at Parable Games and I’m currently based in Manchester in the UK. I’m a writer, artist and graphic designer (conveniently three of the things I do for Ion Heart). I got my start in the TTRPG world as the illustrator for SHIVER which is horror RPG published by Parable Games, but this is my first leap into the world of actual game design.

[1:03 PM]b93: Ion Heart is a solo mech roleplaying game set in a post war universe, called the Astral Union, where you control a Pilot and their Mech (a giant robot companion) together to explore the galaxy, help people, occasionally fight off mercenaries and grow together. Tonally its intended to be a bit more wholesome and hopeful and is relatively rules-light

[1:01 PM]Phil (BtN): I’m Phil and I love tabletop roleplaying. I wrote Bound to None, a pulpy space western powered by Basic Roleplaying, the system behind Call of Cthulhu, Runequest, and others. Our home group played a three year campaign and it’s been playtested by over 50 people ages 14 to 62. I wrote it with the following goals:

Embrace pulp and hippie scifi, make it weird with fun aliens and a frontier setting.

Don’t go down the rabbit hole. Keep lore light and minimize “terms of art.”

Make character creation faster and include a Life Path element.

Tweak combat and survivability to create an action scifi playstyle.

Use Strike Ranks consistently across all types of combat including starship operations.

Team ship operations that have more than one good choice for each role.

Reduce time to create NPCs and mooks with a simple Level system.

Flexible Psionics without veering into free form casting.

Give the GM tools for sandboxing that don’t connect to a metaplot.

Don’t wear your politics on your sleeve, keep it out of the game.

[7:30 PM]nephitejnf: Hey everyone, I’m Joseph, or nephitejnf if you will. I’m the guy behind Starfall, an RPG generated through the use of the Llama3 model through the Ollama program which allows me to run LLMs on my own computer. I mostly do linux related youtube videos, and when I was going over Ollama, I had a spark of inspiration during recording that video. https://youtu.be/mIPbWqAYvxEYouTubeNephitejnfOllama the AI you can run locally, if you have a GPU that can handl…

[7:30 PM]nephitejnf: I’ve had a lot of time to become aquainted with TTRPGs and come to love them. I’ve been in a few groups playing various systems and also trying out solo games on top of that. I’ve come to love some of the systems that are more lightweight and quick to start up, because it allows for less prep-time when you want to get playing or you are on a trip, but you still want to crawl some dungeons. I’ve collected way too many PDFs and books for various games, such that I may not get a chance to play them all, it all started with a Humble Bundle, then I was informed of DriveThruRPG, which is where you found Starfall, very likely, and my disk space has been history since. Anyway, Starfall is still in a very disjointed and rough state, being as I have still not applied more human touches to it to make it smoother to play. You’ll notice that there is a mix of mechanics and weird die rolls going on across the board, so it is semi-coherent. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/485523/Starfall-Raw-source-materialDriveThruRPG

[7:30 PM]nephitejnf: And if you are looking for a sorta quick overview and a moment I really dive deeper into how it works, then I have a video on that, too. https://youtu.be/zbU1HdZL0QUYouTubeNephitejnfI made my GPU write a Tabletop RPG using Llama3 and Ollama
