Allegiance

[GuJiaXian]

Sent, Spriggan. I agree, I should have posted about the release sooner, but life has been busy (full-time school Spring *and* Summer terms, finals this week, etc.).

[Spriggan]

No worries, we're going to e-mail Andrew tonight to ask if he has time to answer some qestions.

[Spriggan]

Was just talking with SE and we thought it might be fun to interview JT as well about doing artwork for a game.  I'll have to ask Fuzzy to ask him if he'd do that sometime.

As much as I hate admitting that Sprig is right, I think it's a good idea to avoid reviews from people who are affiliated with the company. That said, I would really love (really, really love) to get some kind of write-up about the game--perhaps a Q&A or a press release or a description of the game world--from GuJiaXian that we can post on Friday when the game comes out. That much playtesting experience is too good to ignore. Woudl that be possible?

Hey!  

[GuJiaXian]

Sure. Just tell me exactly what you'd like me to say. I'm one of four people that have actually seen the complete set (I edited the actual proofs from Cardamundi). I'm also in charge of the company newsletter (the first issue of which went out yesterday).

I want you to say how cool I am. *nod*

but seriously, describe the game. What's the appeal of it. essentially, give us an advert. But target it. remember that we're interested in things like interesting mechanics, settings, and themes. Tell us what is is supposed to simulate, etc.

[Spriggan]

Looks like they're release date got  pushed back to next week sometime due to a problem with the printer.  So hopefuly we'll find out when the new date is so if we get the answers back we'll know when a good time to run them is.

I have cards in hand as I type this. I've bought five starters already (with a whopping 65% of the set, after some trades).

Talk with Andrew and I'm sure he can set you guys up.

[Spriggan]

I'm still waiting on his reply to the interview questions I sent him over a week ago.  I realise that with origins and the game actualy comming out this week he's busy.  I'll be sending him a reminder this weekend if I haven't heard back form him.

[GuJiaXian]

Yeah, send him a reminder this weekend. He's *ahem* quite stressed at the moment.

[Spriggan]

Well we got the interview back, unfortunatly Andrew wasn't able to do it because of time restraints, but James was kind enough to answer our proddings.  It's a realy good interview so look for it tomorrow.

Spriggan did an interview with the game designer. Woot! This game sounds interesting. I wish the Kuglers had come to Intl. Gaming Night and showed us how to play.

[Spriggan]

I think it came out quite well.  I do kinda wish I would have done it over IM or in person (since their offiece is like a mile from my aparment) so there wouldn't have been some repeat answers.  Also there were a few things that I would have liked to follow up on.

[GuJiaXian]

The interview looks great. If anyone needs any other questions answered, feel free to ask them here or to post them on the Lucid Raven forums (www.lucidraven.com). I'm usually on the fourms during the day (also as GuJiaXian).
