Burning Empires

Fires over Omac

Omac is a precious ball of ice floating of S-421 in the Kodiak System. Her industry is vital to interstellar trade. So vital, in fact, that Baron Zdrajca must capture and secure her before his fleet can move on to higher profile targets. The hitch? Omac must be captured intact. She cannot be bombarded. She must be assaulted. A simple matter, usually, but Omac is peopled by a Kerrn anarchist syndicate and they have risen against the Baron. Now it's bloody fighting, poorly armed anarchists against the imperial assault troops. You're playing the anarchists. Can you win this desperate fight to save your world and preserve your people's freedom? Or will Omac fall and your people be enslaved?

Burning Empires is Luke Crane's latest project -- a mix of Chris Moeller's brilliant comic fiction, The Iron Empires, and his own award-winning system, The Burning Wheel. This is a science fiction game like none other. Come and explore the mechanics that allow you to play out impassioned arguments and blazing firefights while simultaneously using macro maneuvers to determine the fate of your world.

Spookybeans!

 Euphoria 

 Euphorium, everyone's favorite one-stop shop for all things hippie/goth/punk since 1973, is being forced to close their doors if they can't come up with $100,000 in back rent. The store owners, Sunflower and her husband Smokey, have been friends with the locals in The Hollow for a long time, but as drug paraphernalia started to become less popular, and people started to buy their games and comics online, this small mom-and-pop store could not afford to make ends meet. Chad Bradley, president of Bradley Real Estate Ventures, LLC, has found this an opportune time to kick out the hippies and tear down the store to build a franchised yuppie watering hole called "Mondays". Sunflower has three days to collect the cash or the store will be no more. Since the Spookybeans are regulars in the shop, Sunflower offers the kids a chance to help them raise the money to stay open. Can the Spookybeans defeat the Yuppie Youth Organization and save the store?
