24th-Jan-2009 03:36 pm - The Scorpion Queen
me
I'll be attending Dungeons & Dragons Experience next week. On Friday and Saturday (8 AM!) I'll be running an adventure called "The Scorpion Queen," which you can find in the recently released In Search of Adventure from Goodman Games.

I was checking out the list of people attending today and noted that Ed Gentry ( [info]edgentry ) will be sitting across the table for one of these sessions. I'm pretty excited; I've been wanting to meet him for some time.

Ed Who? Pick up his novel Neversfall.

CthulhuTech RPG


CthulhuTech RPG (Atomic Array 013)


I stumbled into a game of CthulhuTech at an FLGS back in January. It was a lot of fun, and I've been trying to get the creators on the Array since our first episode. It's no secret that I love my Lovecraft. Adding mecha? Yes, please!

Matthew Grau joined Rone and I to talk about this new game from WildFire LLC. We had a great time talking with him. It's obvious, from the start, that Matt really loves what he does. It's clear he loves his game, as well.

CthulhuTech RPG: CthulhuTech.com
My Pick: Robotech
Rone's Rant: "My Lead Foot, Part II"

We wrap up the Pathfinder give away, and tell you how you can win one of two CthulhuTech book sets. Each set will include the Core Rulebook, Vade Mecum (the CthulhuTech Companion) and Dark Passions (the CT cult book). Don't forget, you have until January 9th to enter the Alpha Omega give away.

You can also share Atomic Array with a friend, or contact us directly. In fact, we'd love to hear what you think about CthulhuTech. Tell us what you like (or don't), and what you'd like to see from WildFire in the future.

26th-Dec-2008 11:41 am - Siphonophore
me
I preparation for my upcoming Cthulhu game, I've been looking for inspiration from some cool real-world creatures. Enter, the siphonophore:

OK, I cheated. The siphonophore is not a creature, but a colony of jellyfish-like creatures, called zooids, all acting in concert. Anyway, I think the video speaks for itself. Enjoy.

Alpha Omega


Alpha Omega RPG (Atomic Array 012)


We discovered Alpha Omega, the post-apocalyptic cyberpunk horror game from Mind Storm Labs, back in April. We were immediately impressed, both by the production values and the content of the core book. Ever since AA001, we've been trying to get creators David Carter and Earl Fischl on the show. Finally, they're here! Mind Storm President, Tom McLaughlin, also joined in the conversation.

New World Science & Engineering Commission (NWSEC): The Alpha Omega community site has a setting wiki, a collaboration section where players and GMs can rub shoulders, an internet player finder, and much more. You can even follow the ongoing exploits of NWSEC field operatives, such as the intrepid Roger Traffler.

Pathfinder


Pathfinder (Atomic Array 011)


The State of the Pathfinder Empire! This is our biggest episode yet - 90 minutes on Paizo's popular campaign setting, organized play society and the upcoming Pathfinder RPG. If you're thinking about getting into Pathfinder, or just want an update on where Pathfinder stands, this episode is a must-listen.

James Jacobs gives background on Pathfinder Chronicles, and the goods on Legacy of Fire, Paizo's fourth Pathfinder Adventure Path. Learn about Jason and the Bulmahnauts, Golarion's genies, the City of Brass and Golarion's Dark Continent. We also talk about the unique advantages of the Pathfinder Subscription.

Joshua Frost gets us excited about Pathfinder Society Organized Play, Paizo's world-wide campaign in the Pathfinder Chronicles setting. Join one of the factions embroiled in a shadow war for control of Absalom, the City at the Center of the World. Join Season Zero and help Paizo playtest the Society system, and learn about what's coming in Season One. Where to start, download a copy of the Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play (FREE). Josh spills the beans about a surprise con Paizo may be running next summer. FrostiCon? And if you're an aspiring freelancer, you'll learn what you need to know in order to submit to Paizo's Open Calls.

Jason Bulmahn gives us an update on the Pathfinder RPG. It's amazing how much support the Paizo community is giving during the RPG playtest. The sheer volume of input is astonishing - hats off to Jason for staying on top of it all. Find out what's going to be in the final version of this massive (550 page!) tome. Are you a third-party publisher, thinking about releasing Pathfinder RPG material next year? Make sure you get in touch with Jason. And don't be shy - tell people about it!

My Pick: The Sword and The Sorcerer
Rone's Rant: "Con Artists"

me

UKG Publishing is 5 years old. They're celebrating by discounting all their products 40%.

I haven't looked at all their stuff, but the Year of the Zombie products are decent. In particular, I'd check out Year of the Zombie: Dead Future Rebooted.
