All the holidays, all the prices ... (and some news!)

The short of it is: all my games are on the cheap from now on until January. It is the season, after all. And while I'm here, I might as well talk a bit about things I have in the pipeline ... How's it going, you ask? Getting somewhere, I'd say.

Discounts

Ø2\\'3|| is out there, as a pdf now, too, and revised for the pdf release (finding typos, killing typos). If you like your cyberpunk dark and free-form, with some crunch in all the interesting places, give it a shot. Plays funny, too, which is something dearly needed these days (well, it's funny in the sense a Black Mirror episode would be if it where an absurd anime romp with lots of crazy). I'm working on two supplements for this, one being a FPS experience in an USA overran by mutants that get reprinted after being killed, the other will be a ready to play setting with a body horror twist, and it is called IT WEARS YOUR FLESH. Soon ...

This will be a nasty one, I think ...

Rebellion is among those games. It is a fun little card stealing game that will have a part in another rpg I'm (still) writing on: Brawlers! Totally works outside that context. Good for two players or small groups, set up fast, plays fast, high replayability ... I have a couple of ideas to expand on this, but that's way in the future now. As it is, not many have seen it. Check it out!

Minimus Ludus is the second rpg on the list. Written by my good friend Mark van Vlack (who has a podcast now!), it is very light and flexible. Comes with lots of little scenarios to run and does all kinds of genres with ease. You need a game that is set up within minutes and just as fast to learn and play? This is on that list of games you'll want to one-shot the holidays! We actually have a couple of supplements in the works for it, too. Such a fun game. While we are at it, another one of Mark's games made it to Disoriented Ranger Publishing: Phase Abandon (a gm-less and universal rpg!). It is completely free and also tons of fun. So why not grap that, too, while you are at it?

Last but not least, Monkey Business is still out there as well. MB has always been crazy fun. If you know your B/X D&D, Labyrinth Lord or OSE and need some wild ideas to keep your players busy for a LOOONG time, you can't go wrong with Monkey Business. Once I get be67 done and out, Monkey Business will make the transition to that. Until then, it still is amazing adventuring ...

 So much about that. Have fun exploring and playing our games. We appreciate you for it.

What else is new?

The revision of the Bare-Knuckle Fighter is currently in layout. If I get to work on it a bit more, I'm confident that it'll see the light of day before Christmas. What is the Bare-Knuckle Fighter, you ask? It is a training module for combat in the Dark Fantasy rpg I'm working on for some time now: Lost Songs of the Nibelungs. It goes a bit of its own way now, but it'll be the full package, with not only a very solid two player dice game, but an expansion for groups and some tournament rules as well as proper Fighter advancement rules.

I'm really happy with it. Tease:

 

Layout is coming together nicely!

With this done, Lost Songs will see some love in the near future as well. It really is happening, folks!

Other than that I'll keep writing and publishing them. That Eldritch Sea is pretty high on my to do list, so I might tackle that next. Maybe Angry Little Aliens after that, as it's basically ready for layout ...

I wish all of you a good one. Peace, out.
