Introducing . . . Messiah

We wanted to announce another game coming out in time for Gen Con: Messiah by Chris Perrin, who is also working on a mecha anime game called, not surprisingly, Mecha (we referred to it by its project name "Neoborn" a few months ago).

Anyway, here is the cover art for Messiah, done by the uber-talented Storn A. Cook:

Messiah is really cool and very different from our other games. Basically, Messiah is:

- A game where players control entire Factions, not just one character

- Factions vie for power in a world gone wild after the coming of the Messiah

- Messiah blends the strategy of board games and the story telling from role-playing games to make a very unique play experience

- The game has no GM. Players compete against each other and the Messiah (who no one controls).

- Games last about two hours. Time flies when you're having fun . . . manipulating the world to your own end.

We're really excited. The game is going to be released (in ashcan form) at the Ashcan Front booth at Gen Con. Chris did not feel that the game was quite "there" yet, but he still wanted to get people playing it.

If you’re attending Gen Con, make sure to visit Chris at the Ashcan Front booth or talk to Clint and Amy at the Design Matters Booth.

More soon!
