No Guilt Is Forgotten

October 22, 2014

I have to make time to run sessions of the system without worrying too much about the finer details. However, preparation for All Rolled Up attendance at events has been a priority. Now, I hope to have the chance to pick up some slack. I like Incriminating Evidence as a … Continue ReadingNo Guilt Is Forgotten

Suspicion of Competency

October 17, 2014

The setting for 214 games assume that all characters have sufficient common skills to survive, but nothing more. They’re not hyper competent superheroes or expert field operatives.

I’m certain this will sharpen my interest in getting more low level playtesting done in the meantime. While I’ll be … Continue ReadingPlaytest Eventing

Essence

214

October 10, 2014

The 214 system is the heart of both Complex 214 and The Dee Sanction, games of suspicion, paranoia and intrigue in very differing settings. Complex 214 takes places in a world of dystopian certainty. Tales of a dystopia driven by fear, bureaucracy and a low level of life expectancy. Born from vats, trained … Continue Reading214
