The City of the Blue Women

With the Chariot crowdfunding campaign closing in on its target in its third day, it's time to share some more excerpts. Here's Mentis, City of the Blue Women.

I created the Blue Women as part of my Atlantis when I was maybe twelve or thirteen, because when you are that age amphibious blue punk rock cyborg amazons who ride robo-sea dinosaurs sounds like a good idea. I still think it's a pretty good idea.

I wish I still had what I had written about them. I made them anew from memory for Chariot.

Support CHARIOT



The Chariot Crowdfunder is now live. The more people who support it, the more material there will be. That's all.

CHARIOT Indiegogo Launches Monday

It has been the best part of a year but the CHARIOT crowdfunding campaign finally launches this coming Monday. The game's written, so basically this is a means of both getting people to preorder and also to see if there is enough demand out there to have more material written - the more people who contribute, the more supplemental material that everyone who buys the game will receive.

In the meantime, I thought I'd tease... the character sheet.  Because you have to have a character sheet.

In Search of the Miraculous #10: Neutrino Man

This is my favourite picture of Dad, the one on the right.
In the course of my research into the emotional archaeology that is the foundation of Chariot, I've been steadily uncovering a whole lot of my Dad's stuff. He will have been gone fifteen years in February. Much as I do, Dad had aspirations toward being a writer.

The Cities of Atlantis

Eight of Pentacles: a Noble of Leagh.

The rules section of Chariot is done, and is out with some of my friends for Alpha Playtest; the Beta Playtest will have a wider audience. Now, well. Now I am writing about the world. My son David, a pretty gifted cartographer, made me an amazing map, that I'm working with. Everything has a place. It is the fun part. So Here's the introduction to the section on Atlantis.

The Catastrophe List

Some time ago, It struck me that a game about the run up to a terrible world-breaking disaster needed some structured sense of urgency. So I came up with this.
