OgreCave Interview: The Inner Circle
Crikey! Joe’s cornered the rare and elusive Inner Circle, a D20 company with a violet outer coat. Isn’t it gorgeous? Watch as Joe asks it a few questions. Careful now, Joe!
One of those times we link to a web game
Hey, look! A free game that’s as good a simple, turn-based board game as you’ll find online! Yeah, it’s all a big Lego advertisement, but whatever. If they’re supporting game development that’s this smart, I’ll go out and buy a little. Do watch your billable hours if you go to
Elmore recovering nicely after heart attack last week
As a friend put it in an IM: “Dude, Elmore almost ate it.” That might be a little strong, but GamingReport says the painter and illustrator Larry Elmore, whose name is almost synonymous with Dungeons & Dragons artwork, had to be flown to a Louisville hospital after collapsing during his

First preview (that I’m aware of) of the MechWarrior aerial expansion Death From Above. I doubt we will post too many of the huge volume of DFA previews with which we will no doubt be buffeted between now and June, so if your sole connection to the world is OgreCave,
Spongebob CCG details, sort of
Upper Deck’s SpongeBob SquarePants CCG will debut in April, and expansions are already planned for June and October. It’s alleged that the game will likely appeal to older fans of the show as well as kids, and Lord knows, Gregory Horror Show points to UD’s skills at simple and elegant
Delta Green d20 finally surfaces
… insert Deep One joke here. At a price point of $35 in April. Hardbound? Doesn’t say. Given the supply problems with the CoC d20 core book, will this still do well (meaning, will it stand alone from the core book sufficiently to make it as a d20 worldbook)? [UPDATE:
