Against the Dark Yogi Open Beta Begins

The time has finally come. Today we officially release the first open beta test of our Vedic mythology-inspired game Against the Dark Yogi. Throughout the open beta process anyone can download, playtest and give feedback on the game, thus making it better for everyone and having some fun in the process....

From the Alpha to the Beta

The private alpha test of Against the Dark Yogi will be coming to an end in the next week or two. This marks a turning point in the development of the game, as the first public beta is expected to launch shortly thereafter. Once the public beta has launched, the game (or at least certain parts of it) will become available for download on the Tab Creations website and for critique on the public beta forums. Anyone who has also contacted us in an interest in the game will receive an email about the release of the public beta as well....

Art Preview #3: Against the Dark Yogi

The private alpha test of our upcoming Vedic mythology-inspired game Against the Dark Yogi is nearing its end, and the public beta is likely to begin sometime late this month. Meanwhile, I have our third art preview for the new game. In this one an exiled Kumar (Prince) is seen leaving his kingdom behind....

Costumed Henchmen Updated!

Our one-shot theater-style LARP The Difficult Life of the Costumed Henchman was first released over two years ago, but we continue to refine it and make it better. With that in mind, we're here to announce that the game has just received another update and that update has been uploaded to the website! This now brings the most recent version of the game up to v1.3. This update clarifies the GM instructions, fixes a few typos in the game text and smooths out a few confusion points when running the game. From the game blurb:...

Saga Machine Solo Games

So in this post I'm going to take a step away from talking about Against the Dark Yogi for a while and turn my attention to a completely different topic that I've mulled over a bit in my spare time....

Art Preview #2: Against the Dark Yogi

The second iteration of the private alpha test of our upcoming Vedic mythology-inspired setting Against the Dark Yogi has started, meanwhile development continues and we expect the first iteration of the public beta to begin sometime in the next month. So here we have our second art preview for the new setting! This one shows a deva descending from the heavens in front of a bunch of surprised onlookers....

The Prana System

In the cosmology of Against the Dark Yogi the world is filled with cosmic energy. This seeps into everything and everyone. When it is in a living being it is called prana--life energy. And this energy isn't static; it is constantly flowing in and out of all beings with every action and every breath....

Setting Sheet: Bhurloka

I'm now happy to present our second Setting Sheet: Bhurloka. Like our first Setting Sheet (Tansaar), it's a page--both front and back--detailing a particular setting in brief. We plan to release a number of setting sheets, all leading up to the release of our final product for the first generation of Saga Machine games: Nexus Endtime....

Art Preview #1: Against the Dark Yogi

Work on our upcoming Vedic mythology-inspired setting Against the Dark Yogi continues, and we're looking to open up the game for public beta test next month. Meanwhile, here is the first of our art previews of the new game. This one depicts a religious ascetic gathering power as he meditates....

Good & Bad Karma

One of the new systems in Against the Dark Yogi is the karma system, which replaces the luck system found in other Saga Machine games. The idea of karma is a concept that is very common in Vedic spiritual thought, and one that should also be familiar to most of us here in the West....
