An Urban Fantasy Game Worth Looking At

[Steve Long]

Hey folx! Wanted to spread the word about an Urban Fantasy game being published (hopefully) by my friend Phil Brucato, who was the Line Developer for Mage back in the day. (And, now that I think of it, I believe he was the first game editor outside of Hero to give me work. Bonus points for Phil!)

 

Anyhow, it's called Powerchords, and you can read more here:

As you can see it's being funded using Kickstarter, so if you like the idea please toss 'em a few bucks out of your Non-Hero Game Buying Fund.

Always enjoyed Phil's touch on the Mage Line back in the shilling for White Wolf days. I'll be sure to toss out a few bucks for this one. Looks sharp. Certainly different, and different means my kinda game. Thanks for the heads up.

Could you tell your friend Phil for me that Mage 2e was one of the all time great games and he did a fantastic job on it? Mad respect, as the kids are saying these days.

Funny, I recently re-discovered the Borderlands series and have been in an urban fantasy mood. I'm in for $50.00.

Mage had some interesting ideas with paradox I'm not really familiar

 

what would be interesting is to find how music shapes the world

 

power bases could turn along active and passive fan bases

maybe some focus on complimenting others in the band

are the attitudes of people driven by the music?

Interesting. THis reminded me (loosely) of the old SJ Games, "In Inomine". Yeah, it was Angels and Demons, but it had a whole music theme too.
