GenCon 2019 - Bloodborne and Dawn-of-Madness
Dawn of Madness Preview - Byron Leavitt game writerI got sucked into Diemension Game's cooperative dungeon crawler Deep Madness. Their follow up prequel promises to be as weird (hopefully less difficult), and a very different experience. Hints of this game 's art were shown on the Deep-Madness Kickstarter. Dawn of Madness will be Kickstarted in a few months (Fall 2019): check out the preview Kickstarter page.
Byron Leavitt, lead writer for the game, demonstrated the prototype game via the story book "Emily's Realm". I learned that this game plays more like a choose-your-own-adventure book on steroids than it does a dungeon crawler. It is operative nightmare in which each player has their nightmares meshed with the others. The party is guaranteed a story ending based on decision and encounters, but the ending depends on which character.
Most appealing, is the way characters "level up"/devolve as they experience their mental issues. These even have various miniatures, so as Emily explores her past she may transform into some demon-like thing. There are several currencies that all representations of mental parameters.

Check out our preview Kickstarter page at http://bit.ly/DoMPreview! It may be a late Dawn of Madness Friday, but we're coming back with a doozy! Here is our first video in a new series diving deep into Dawn of Madness before the Kickstarter launches in mid- to late-September, describing why Dawn of Madness is not just another board game: it is, instead, a horror experience in a board game. (Sorry for the choppy editing and the questionable quality, guys: I really wanted to get this out today, so I put it together over the course of a few hours.) More to come! #Kickstarter #boardgames #horror #survivalhorror #crowdfunding #miniatures #dawnofmadnessPosted by Diemension Games on Friday, August 9, 2019
