**NOTE: To complete the story and have more context, we recommend checking out our prior interview with watt.**
We have a follow-up chat with watt, a TTRPG writer and designer, as well as the creator of the Cloud Empress Ecological Science Fantasy RPG. On this new "watt-Talk" (working title) segment, we discuss the first Cloud Empress RPG Kickstarter, the first year of Cloud Empress (so far), what is on the horizon for the new Cloud Empress expansion and beyond, crowdfunding, and project management. Again, we talk about some in-game lore and interesting creative choices in published Cloud Empress material, but no spoilers!
++ Cloud Empress is an alternate ruleset and setting in the lineage of the Mothership Sci Fi Horror RPG. Imagine a rules-light RPG that evokes Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind, Dune, Final Fantasy, Full Metal Alchemist, and more.
The new Cloud Empress RPG expansion is titled, "Cloud Empress: Lands of Life and Death". The Kickstarter campaign ends April 25, 2024. Check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.
