From the publisher that brought you <strong><em>Dark Places & Demogorgons</em></strong>, this has potential. Match beatniks, bikers, all-American kids, teen idols, and other 1950s tropes with monsters such as the blob, giant radioactive critters, little green men, and more. This 175 to 200-page core rulebook takes inspiration from projects that took inspiration from the 1950s movies like <strong><em>Back to the Future, American Graffiti, Grease</em></strong>, and <strong><em>Invasion of the Body Snatchers</em></strong>.

Taking just the concepts, [B]Bloat Games[/B] is matching them with an OSR system to help convey an old-school feel. From the publisher that brought you [B][I]Dark Places & Demogorgons[/I][/B], this has potential. Match beatniks, bikers, all-American kids, teen idols, and other 1950s tropes with monsters such as the blob, giant radioactive critters, little green men, and more. This 175 to 200-page core rulebook takes inspiration from projects that took inspiration from the 1950s movies like [B][I]Back to the Future, American Graffiti, Grease[/I][/B], and [B][I]Invasion of the Body Snatchers[/I][/B].

The first is [B]AcadeCon[/B] in early November. Spinning out of [B]The RPG Academy podcast[/B], this is a smaller convention, but they still hope to host about 600 games across three days. All of the vendor and demo tables offered on [B]Kickstarter[/B] are already taken. This is a good thing as it shows that dealers, creatives, and publishers back this convention. The price for the weekend badge is good and you’re likely to find a game or two with 600ish options to choose from.

While this convention in Louisville offers options for all of tabletop, the campaign page mentions a strong [B][I]Pathfinder[/I][/B] and [B][I]Starfinder[/I][/B] presence. As with [B]AcadeCon[/B], the vendor spaces are already spoken for and, as with that con, I take that as a good sign. While the time and location imply the risk of real winter – more than an inch-of-snow-each-year that I’m accustomed to – for those that are prepared, this will be a fun time.
