I'm Jason (yes, that Jason). My Argonauts and I are based in Seattle, WA, and have a giant history of game creation, dwarfed only by our continuing saga of game play. We've all worked at some big name game houses, and some of us have been playing games for over 40 years. Role playing games, card games, board games, video games, party, puzzle, and pen & paper... We've sailed all those seas, and hope to bring you some of the riches and rarities we've discovered along the way.
Autonetics is a branch of artificial intelligence involving automated systems — in this case self-playing card games that let you play in a group or by yourself. Omnibus is such a card game that presents meaningful stories and challenging game play without the need of a referee. It is both a role-playing game and a collectible-card game, built on an AI engine. You won't be fighting random monsters to grab random treasure in this game. You will be witnessing cyclic themes of intrigue, chased by bot-like enemies, and solving intricate puzzles, as stories unfold across the table.
Everyone has a little larceny in them. And since we don't condone acting on those impulses, we explore them in more socially acceptable ways. We play Cops and Robbers on the playground, Lie Cheat and Steal (née Monopoly) in the living room, and Grand Theft Auto on the video screen. We watch movies about the Mob, and read whodunnits about Houdini. GTFO captures that essence. We introduce you to a world of crime, then ask "what if" things go wrong? That would really suck if you got caught. The game is more of a social service message if you think about it :)
This is raw footage from the second of our public play-testing sessions. Participants are (clockwise from bottom left), Mike M, Jason C, Sean R, and Jeanne M. Steve Ewing is our video guy -- also pokes his head in a few times for some action shots. Jeanne ends up winning this one with the help of three of the four 10 Minute cards!
