San Diego Comic Con 2024

SDCC00

So, I was invited to demo SARIL at San Diego Comic Con 2024. Long story short, the guy who runs the tabletop RPG area saw my game, thought it was cool, and asked if I wanted to show it off there. Given I’m in the UK, and don’t like events with lots of people I said “hmmmmmmmm”, but then friends and family convinced me.

Was it all worth it? From a business point of view I have no idea and may never know, but it was a lot of fun, I met some great people, and a good number of new people are now playing SARIL.

As you can see from this image, SDCC is pretty huge. Although, even if it was a single room I probably wouldn’t have got round it all because I was far too busy running my table. I just grabbed a few pictures early one morning before we opened. That’s just the main floor. there were other rooms, an upstairs, and many areas that I only know exist because of the map.

Since this is the SARIL website, I should probably talk about what I was doing. In simplest terms, I was showing off the magic of how SARIL works, and also running some super short adventures. I created four short adventures specifically for SDCC. Firstly to show that SARIL can run whatever type of adventure you like, and secondly, because I wanted to be able to run them in an hour or less. That didn’t always happen because it’s roleplaying and sometimes players get carried away, but it mostly worked.

There was a wild west mystery, a zombie apocalypse escape, and eldritch horror survival, and a sci-fi combat mission. I had also prepped for a Newtonian physics space escape, and a create your own spells fantasy puzzler, but I never needed to pull those out. I might talk about these adventures later once I’ve written them up for public release, but you know what I’m like.

If you were there, or you just looked around the site, you may have also noticed there are a number of minis that aren’t available to purchase. Japanese schoolgirls, angry space monkeys, werewolves, and more western gunslingers. The reason for this is that I haven’t released the e-books associated with them. Minis come with adventures. If you need one specifically for one of your own adventures, message me and I can give you the stl file. Actually feel free to just contact me about anything really, get in touch via Facebook, and Twitter  

Clone Cargo Crisis: First Beta

SARIL RPG: Who’s turn is it? Everyone’s! by RadiationBurn — Kickstarter

Wanted to say thanks to the four brave volunteers from Teesside University’s Tabletop Society. These four were given a very quick crash course in the basic rules, the history of the parallax universe, who the clones were, and what their mission was before setting off on their first ever mission. The paragraph below the photo won’t make a lot of sense to anybody but the four players, but I felt they earned it.

Debriefing…

Through a valiant effort, plus some incredible luck and timing in the end game, the team managed to save the VIP and his precious cargo. All clones came out alive and despite several visceral injuries are all expected to make a full recovery and be back on duty within weeks.  They have each proven viable in the field and are no longer considered just a number, but also a name in the form of a well earned callsign.

Clone 21: Through decisive action, Clone 21 took charge of the group, showing leadership potential as well as good all round performance throughout the mission. Despite loosing a limb in an ambush, he managed to get back in the fight and come to the aid of his fellow clones at a critical moment through skilled zero-G maneuvering. It was for this act he has now been designated “Floater”.

Clone 07: Although stoic and initially seeming to lack initiative, Clone 07 proved to have a keen eye, and an excellent aim. Officially logging the most kills in the mission with an accuracy of over 50%. Clone 07 remained focused on the mission even when victims were being cut up in the adjacent room, successfully calmed the survivors, and never retreated even in seemingly dire circumstances, this clone has been designated “Chill”.

Clone 40: Despite command asserting that he shouldn’t take his fists to a gun fight, Clone 40 weighed in to hand to hand combat with butcher bots, and despite all odds repeatedly came out on top. In the climax of the mission it was also clone 40 who charged the enemy stronghold alone and used EMP grenades to hold off the enemy with long enough to start a meltdown in the ships capacitors. For this reason, and definitely not because he fumbled an easy catch, this clone has been designated “Surehands”.

and Finally, Clone 69: Despite nearly failing basic training and being deemed borderline defective by clone quality control, 69 was not terminated due to his skill with all forms of technology. His combat performance has been described by his commanding officer as “Piss poor”, but the VIP personally gave 69 a commendation for his safeguarding and extraction of all important cargo. Clone 69 suffered injuries listed as ‘horrific mutilation to the pelvic area’, and thus was granted the designation “Truama’ after another callsign was deemed inappropriate by command.

Congratulations Team.

Stretch goal 1 was met. This means that a second single-page set up adventure has been added to the book, and new STL files + Tokens will be available.

Yes. It’s finally happening. For a good number of personal reasons I’m only planning a small launch, but quite frankly, I don’t have the time or resources to manage a large one.  Still, I can’t just sit on SARIL when so many people I know have asked me to release it. If all of them back the project then reaching this small target should be pretty simple, but that isn’t how life works. So back the project if you can, and please come talk to me about it on Facebook, and Twitter   because I like being nerdy about it.

A Free One-Shot Adventure

Merry Christmas Everyone… I’m just getting that in now in case I forget to make another post before then. Either way, I have a present for all of you

Cover_DEADEXIT_TheWarehouse

Click on the image above to go The Warehouse and download a fun one-shot all about trying not to get eaten by the undead. It’s simple, has all the info you need to play, and can even be played without a DM if you like, although I’d argue that makes it more of a choose your own adventure than a TTRPG.

From the same page you can also download a MAP handout, the STL files for the game (to download and print on a resin 3d printer), OR, if you like to paly online, grab the Roll 20 Beta character sheet, and an undead token. 

Go on… Accept my gift to you.

Facebook, and Twitter  are still things just about. Use them to say hello or something. It’d be nice to chat.

Halloween Fun!

The Kickstarter went horribly, but I’ll talk about that later. For now. Enjoy a much smaller and more frivolous Kickstarter, or Gamefound project, (I’m tryin it out!)

Nearly There Yet?

Another short Update, and only 1 day late. AMAZEBALLS! (where did that weird saying go anyway)

The end. that was nice wasn’t it?

Facebook,  Twitter. They exist, and I will answer questions on them, or cry when you call me mean names.

May Update

All over the place this month, and late with my update. It is an actual update this month though, so YAY!

TLDW: Gamebridge was nice. Core rules nearly done. R20 ready to use. Sci-fi Underway. Mark is a cool composer. 

Facebook,  Twitter  are still things. Use them to communicate productively… or don’t. I don’t care. I’m not your mum! Bye for now.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!  (If you need this STL file just take it!)

A bit early but I’m going to lose internet for a few days so I thought I’d get this into the wind before then.

Remember when I said I was going to be sculpting that sci-fi guy. I ended up doing some other stuff instead.  I think it should be pretty obvious by now that I juggle a number of disciplines and that often leads to some progressional acrobatics. I admit I just made up that term, but the road to release of SARIL is nothing like a straight line. I mean c’mon, It travels through fantasy worlds, outer space, and around time loops full of demons in the wild west.

One thing I did was update the SARIL website: tidied a few bits and bobs, but also fixed a number of issues it was having on phones specifically. It now looks significantly less terrible.

Happy Easter!

I realise this might look a little odd if you are using your phone right now. To all intents and purposes I’ve just posted a smaller screenshot of the same site you are on. Sorry if that causes a mental crisis, but just go with it.

The next update will be a video. I know this because it’s not about what I’m doing next but instead it’s the thing that I’m thinging right now.

You can chat to me on Facebook, and I’m also available on Musk’s new toy A.K.A. Twitter, where I occasionally scream nonsense into the void.
