Well, okay: only if you have an iPhone. (And I bet it’s great on the iPad even in fat-bits mode.) It looks to be essentially possible to play the whole game with this “toolkit” if you wish: all the decks are in there, and while the screenshots don’t specifically show

Hooray, Virtual Tabletop exists! We can go back to complaining about it!
It even looks like they took my extremely expensive advice – or more likely just rubbed a couple of brain cells together on their own – and made it a 2D product. This is not only better for PR because it doesn’t scream “video game” quite as loud, but actually
True Dungeon gets yet more competition: get your Aliens on at Origins
And now here’s TerrorWerks, “a fully immersive event” set in “the immersive enviroment of a massive space station.” Also, it’s immersive. But I kid! I am psyched to see more attempts at this. I don’t think I ever posted properly about this other thing at Gen Con, either: “Guardian 6
Map of Perplex City replaced with something interesting
Curse my distributed-story-loving soul, but I am starting to get my hopes back up about Season 2 of Perplex City. The website is demonstrably worse, unless you need a constant supply of alterna-Sudoku puzzles from Japan (which I kind of do… I loves me some Ponturu), but if your local
Confidential to “Dreamblade Fan”
First, way to be on topic. Granted, that part is kind of our own fault (we’re working on a solution). But second, if “we’re not going to pay people quite as much to play our game” equals “killed off,” then the game never had much life to begin with, did
Introducing Planet Story Games
So I did this thing. I’ve long heard complaints from folks that the forums that are the epicenter of the story-gaming community are too hard to be a part of, and it wasn’t even that long ago that I felt that way myself. The weblogs and LiveJournals of the community
Reaper announces pre-painted plastic figs sold non-collectibly
That little noise you just heard was the sound a tiny, faraway shark makes when D&D Minis jumps right the hell over it. Or we could be wrong, and D&D Minis could actually have a life beyond DMs who buy and trade for the figures they really want. I guess
Today’s free expensive idea
So I was reading around in some old posts, and I found this thing about those baby remote-control tanks that could shoot each other. Well, that obviously didn’t go anywhere, probably because infrared isn’t very precise or articulate. But what if you could set down a table full of minis
“Building Innovative Games That Sell:” what a concept!
This think-tank piece from the world of digital gaming is more than worth reading for a perspective on the tabletop-gaming industry. It is no surprise to me that I am hearing about “cowboy culture” – the tendency of game producers to be driven by that ever-lovin’ focus group of one,
And a Star Wars starship CSG, too
Well, it looks like WK is in full-bore throw-things-at-the-wall mode again, but at least the things in question are getting kinda interesting. If you don’t feel like linking out to read that, this’ll be a Pirates-style polystyrene CSG, redubbed “PocketModel TCG” for less crypticness (and more collector appeal, no doubt),
Halo ActionClix announced for fall
Just when I was really ready to give up on them, WizKids announces Halo ActionClix. Hey, if you want to do a licensed product that actually has gamer appeal, getting the very first tabletop license for what amounts to the number one video game is not a bad approach. Hell,
End of a moderately attended era: SoCal is no more
Gen Con SoCal 2007 is cancelled, as are all future SoCals. The press release mentions competing shows in the area, none of which I know of, so I hadn’t considered that as a factor, but in no way does the release imply that as the main factor. Peter Adkison’s writeup
WTFFF?
Okay, we’ve talked the big-giveaway-considered-harmful thing to death, so I’ll just summarize: bad WizKids, no biscuit. But: Fin Fang Foom? I mean, bottom of the barrel much? Or is this a tacit admission that WK has become big, green, destructive, impossible to ignore and mighty dumb? Seriously, it’s gotten to
