So my name is Cody Ponsmith. I am the general manager at Artil Suring Games and we are here for sort of the first time at Paxon Plug just to kind of get a feel for the convention see if we want to come buy more often. We are primarily a tabletop RPG company so this year we're just coming by with some of our recent products. Our big one at the moment is the Cyberpunk Red Jump Start kit which is sort of the entryway into our new edition for Cyberpunk 2020 which is one of our oldest running games. Many people have probably heard of it through 2077. So that's kind of our primary that we've come to show off as it were but we also have the officially licensed new CDPR Witcher TRPG which I will primary designer on and a bunch of our other lines that we don't have a lot of new stuff for at the moment but we're bringing out so that everybody can see it. There's still great games. Going back all the way to the very beginning shall we say we were approached to do Witcher TRPG by CDPR because we're of course you know working with them on 2077 and we decided to go ahead with that and I set up a whole pitch for the for the situation. This big like green binder that was basically the entire core system for the game. I went over and pitched that and I had this long heavily stressful pitch meeting that eventually got the end of it you know we we had a deal and that was the beginning. Everything after that was five to six years of game design and iteration going in every day and you know taking copious notes on the Witcher novels and the video games and any bit of lore that we could scrape up from anything that was considered within our canon and then sort of condensing all those notes into a cohesive game as best as possible you know writing rules testing those rules going back saying you know do they fit with the world of the Witcher does this feel like the world the Witcher and if it's yes we move forward if it isn't we go back and we rewrite and you know that was most of it it was just day after day of you know trying to translate this trying to translate mediums and then going back and rewriting where necessary. I think there is you know a lot of people have noted and we always note between us and CDPR that there's a big sort of thematic connection between Witcher and Cyberpunk. Both of them are very personal stories that do not shy away from making hard decisions and showing that actions have consequences and I think that makes them well they're not everybody's cup of tea it makes them in some ways more relatable to a lot of people because it is usually a more grounded story it's you know it's not necessarily going out and saving the world or you know going out and doing grand world sweeping things it's you know fighting to survive and fighting to make your life better and help you the people around you your family and your friends and things like that so I think you know the the heavily personal nature of both Witcher and Cyberpunk I think make them not just interesting for people but they resonate well with people.
