Hiiii! I just wanted to say I’m super stoked to be on the team for Hack the Planet — Fraser Simons’ punky climate fiction game where you play folks tracking, hunting, and hacking extreme weather phenomena using the Blades system. Edit: Whoops, and it’s on kickstarter right nowwww~ Go take a look!
I had the opportunity to playtest it recently where our crew came up against a tornado that was literally on fire, that we captured to then condense into drugs. We’re thinking ‘Acid Rain’ might be a good name for it, but that’s still tbd. Either way, it was such a good time! I’m looking forward to playing more of it, and I’m really excited about some of these stretch goals that are still left to hit.
As some people were keen for games designed for the Asia-Pacific time zone, I’m kicking it off with a game of Dance of the Damned, scheduled for 6 Nov at 6pm AEDT.
This game will hopefully be one of many more to come during Asia-Pacific evenings.
