GenCon 2016! 4 games Submitted


Holy Toledo I’m back from a too long absence. Not much new to report. Have been doing some play testing with the new Cortex+ game system and so far I really like it. I will get a real test at Gen con this year when I run it for strangers. I hope to have comment cards to I can see what People liked and didn’t like about the game mechanics.

So Here are my games for Gencon this year

I have decided to keep my big games using the Pathfinder system and the Death Gate Cycle Material. Disappointed as I am that MWP decided on a different direction. It doesn’t stop me loving the series or the games I built around them. It is what those game players have come to enjoy and I do love running them.

As for a game I want to publish. Into the Nexus will be all original material.

Speaking of that. New logo and Webdesign on the blog. New artwork will be posted soon and I should have a pre-release book for sale by gencon.

 

That is all for now. Someone broke their monitor and I need to see how the hell they managed that.

Gen Con Games have been Submitted!


Once again I will be running Into the Nexus at Gen Con.

This year will be two games

Slave ship Revolt

and Darkmore Besieged

The first is a tried an true game that pits players again themselves and NPC’s Escape the ship before it reaches port or forever be enslaved! Or Dead, Or trapped with the dwarves, or encased in a huge wooden ball.

The second will be a massive undertaking.

10 hours long! 3 DM’s running mini missions with me running the DM’s until you all join back up for a huge castle onslaught. There will be Espionage, Artifact seeking, soldier slaughtering, Loyalty turning, Jailbreaking and Dragon stealing. All before you actually start the siege! Did I mention your final foe is a shoot fireballs first ask questions second kind of person?

Hope to see you there

“Lasers”. It’s in 3D!


For the last several years I have run the games with the large color maps I have made. They are really nice and I have liked they way they look. But I have to have one for each level and I have been wanting to up my game a bit. This year I will have some models of all the different locations (hopefully the ship as well but it is the most difficult) With multiple levels and terrain. My goal is to show a more robust environment for people to adventure in as well as, most likely, destroy.

That is all for now.

P.S.

To the people interested in playing my game for GenCon. I sold out in a matter of hours last year, to repeat players. I think you will enjoy the game system and the plays style. Also I have two new adventures this year that should be a whole lot of fun…. provided “Lasers” aren’t a gaming mainstay.

Gen Con Games Are Approved!


To all my Gen Con fans I have three gaming sessions this year.

RPG1339923 Slave Ship Revolt Thu @ 8:00 PM 8 hrs  
Location: JW :: 203 :: 5–6 Cost: $8
RPG1339917 The Mad Monk Fri @ 6:00 PM 8 hrs  
Location: JW :: 305 :: 3 Cost: $8
RPG1339931 A Lost Prince Sat @ 6:00 PM 10 hrs  
Location: JW :: 208 :: 4

The Slave Ship revolt is an Into the Nexus tradition.

Battle your way out of slavery and to freedom. Now “freedom” is a loose term. It could mean a life of bliss and happiness with a spouse and children, or it could mean free falling through a constant hurricane level storm until you smash into a floating island below you. Words are tricky.

The Mad Monk.

A Kir Monk with Magicka training has barricaded himself in his isolated monastery. He is attempting rune magic, with disastrous results. Go KIILLLL him. (He really wants you to anyway)

 

A Lost Prince

The heir to the human empire has been kidnapped by a notorious hitman and the boys manservant. The King doesn’t seem to know what to do. So local nobles have hired your group to go and rescue him. Prince Bane must be rescued at all costs!

I am now Lazar……zar……..zar


So, I have been lax in my web updates. Very very lax. Dealing with personal turmoil has made me not do much with Into the Nexus for the pas several months. I have updated combat rules but thats about it.

This changes now.

I have begun work on the rules of The Wave.

For those that know the book series you know what I am talking about. For those that don’t I’ll give you a quick primer.

The Wave is  what makes the possibilities of all Magicka possible. Infinite possibilities exist in The Wave.

The possibility that your comrade is not dead. The possibility that your bones are lighter than air. The Wave makes it possible because Everything is possible.

However the Wave always corrects itself. Yes your friend is alive again, but something else isn’t. You used your Magicka to take a life, now something new lives and you may not care for it.

The Wave always corrects itself.

That is the basic premise of The Wave. Anything you do with Magicka could result in not only a failure (misdirected awesome) but a Wave correction.

Even Non Magical encounters could initiate a Wave correction.

It may be something small, however, it may not.

So that is what I am working on right now.

I will have at least weekly updates from here on out. Hopefully more frequent.

Ta for now
