There we were given the opportunity to meet amazing people from one stand to another.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">During our stay we were able to record a podcast with Nearly Enough Dice and complete an interview with Screen-Shaped Eyes, so a great many thanks to N.E.D. For that fantastic podcast: Interview with project Engrenages (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv6hwDGYrDQ" target="_blank">link</a>) and to Fiona for Engrenages Interview (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrhJ8L0SS0A" target="_blank">link</a>).</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Also special thanks to everyone from Conpulsion, especially the organizers, and of course all those who took some of their time to give our game a look and experience it for themselves.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We hope to see you all again soon</span>Engrenages Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06272078056342580330noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1304973666803217696.post-40907117885368379922013-04-15T16:45:00.000-07:002013-06-11T16:46:03.832-07:00The dream team Let us show you who is who!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Hope you hada
happy Easter! We had rather a busy one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span lang="EN-US">Engrenages</span></i><span lang="EN-US"> has been tried out with quite a few players.
The Game Masters are now starting to feel at ease, the rules are fixed. Helped
by some atmospheric music and the long evenings of the very last days of
winter, the game has been met with enthusiasm. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">You’ll be
able to come and see the result at the Eclipse Convention of Rennes from the 5<sup>th</sup>
to the 7<sup>th</sup> of April. We’re present every day of the Convention, with
two tables playing at every timetable available. Most the members of the group also
participated to the Convention’s scenario-writing contest. As well as the
multitude of (only very slightly) drafty scenarios we already had, we can now
boast with three completely written down ones, called “<i>Dans tes rêves les plus fous” </i> (In your wildest dreams), “<i>La cité perdue de Naar”</i> (The lost city
of Naar) and “<i>Nous ne voulons pas être pardonnés”
</i>(We don’t want to be forgiven).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Nevertheless,
<i>Engrenages </i>is still working hard at
trying to get a patronage. We’ve started to hunt down unwary sponsors. For our
advertising, we’ve also invested in little parcels of chocolates, in which our
logo in engraved. And here’s another good reason to come and try out <i>Engrenages</i> – you might even get free
sweets.<a href="" name="_GoBack"></a><o:p></o:p></span></div>

“Engrenages”
is a student’s project initiated in 2013 by Sophie Briand,
Julien Vasnier and Adrien Berthelot. The authors are all members of the Kedge
Business School (formerly know as Euromed Management).<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The
project consists in the creation of a role play game called “Engrenages”,
taking place in a steampunk universe.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The
players are set in the megalopolis <i>Havengrinn</i>, in an alternativ America
tainted with magic. Humans of the Old Continent have built a gigantic city on
the East coast</span><span lang="EN-GB"> of the
new world. <i>Havengrinn</i> is a city of high towers, circled by vast
zeppelins, filled with huge steam-powered factories and deep, mysterious
undergrounds. Here, every man fights for more influence. <i>Havengrinn</i> is
nothing less than the chess board of a great political game between men of this
new world. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The players
shall be workers, mercenaries or simple witnesses weaved in a vaster pattern.
Although life is rational, at night the occult is set free. In the dephts of
wells, catacombs and mines, horror and madness roam. One musn’t forget that
only the East coast belongs to the human realm, whereas the rest of America is
occupied by the natives, a civilization of saurian humanoids named the <i>Secades</i>,
that only tolerate men as long as they stay behind their battlements.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><br />
A cross of pulp and gothic fiction, “Engrenages” plunges it’s players in
steampunk tales on the dangerous edge between reality and imagination, sanity
and madness. Thanks to an innovating two-dice system, the players will have to
make delicate choices between the lure of power and their control over their
actions. They shall also have to be careful about the limits of their minds and
bodies if they don’t want to vanish for good.<br />
