One quick note before bed:

I’m usually not one to get excited about games. I don’t keep up with the people that write them, I don’t rush out and buy them as soon as they hit the shelf, and generally-well, I don’t care. I love to play, but rarely does that require me buying the book. ;) To prove my point-Mouseguard.  Anyone who knows me or listens to the show knows that I absolutely adore Burning Wheel as a system, to the point where very little can compare. However, when Mouseguard dropped…you guessed it. I didn’t really care.

I bring this up for one reason- I am fucking excited for David Hill’s  Maschine Zeit. There is just something about the game that captures the attention of the part of me that wants dark, sinister and forboding in a game. Somehow David managed to roll the dystopian future, ghost tales and heart-pounding exploration all into a single game. And to top it all off, he’s created the sexiest packaging I’ve ever seen for an RPG:

Yeah. It glows red when you use it.

So whether you want to play a money hungry miner, attention starved celebrity or man of god trying to lay the souls of the dead to rest, this game promises to keep you invested down every hallway and on every station.

For a better intro then my finger-words are capable of, check out the YouTube Maschine Zeit Promo, and keep your head to the ground for more videos.
