[7:37 PM]Foxern: Alright, well. I go by Foxern, and I made Pistol Dust. Pistol Dust is a Weird West meets High Fantasy Tabletop RPG with heavy emphasis on customizability. Pistol Dust forgoes class limitations in exchange for using experience to directly influence Talents, Abilities, and Skills. It has a ton of Talents, which are different special things that your character can do. It’s a 2d12 based system, with a Luck mechanic for crit success and failures. It also has a completely custom made magic system, using a sort of health pool called Lucidity for casting spells, rather than having slots or a mana pool. (done)

: So my name is Gage Lee, i’m 27 and from VA orignally now living in the great state of West Virginia. I am married and love travelling and learning new cultures and history. Personally I have worked doing all sorts of stuff from farming to programming work but I have always had a passion for the RPG community and wanted to contribute my creativity as I really enjoy creating mechanics and making games. I am a first time publisher and writer creating the company The Traveler’s Cult and publishing my first book The Beyond RPG. I have worked in video game jams and personally spend a decent amount of time as a gamer in my free time when I am not working on more books stuff including figuring out how mountains affect regional weather, I like to really deep dive on stuff like that even though I am sure most folks done care for it lol.

[1:07 PM]The Gamester: This novel is set on the continent of Scionos, in a land called Valamire. This is on the surface a feudal kingdom, but in a world where wichery and monsters really exists.
[1:08 PM]The Gamester: Is that okay for a starter, or should I continue?
Continue ReadingThe name’s Davenport. I review games.
So the other day my good buddy Omer Golan-Joel stops by my office. He’s the brains behind Cepheus Deluxe, a swell sci-fi game based on the old Traveller rules.
None of which explained why he was wearin’ a loincloth.
“Greetings, GMshoe!” he says. “I come bearing The Sword of Cepheus Second Edition, taking the Cepheus Engine and applying it to sword and sorcery!”
Well, that explained the loincloth. Kinda.
“So,” I says, “what’s the scoop on The Sword of Cepheus?”
“An abundance of swordy goodness!” he says.
Swordy…?
“A dozen playable non-human species, a huge bestiary full of vile monstrosities, fast-paced combat, and a perilous sorcery system that can mutate the caster!”
“Okay, sounds good,” I says. “I’ll give it a review. Just drop it here on my desk.”
He drops it on my desk, knockin’ over my coffee cup in the process.
“Fear not!” he says. “I have this cloth right here I can…”
“NO.”
