So I found this flyer at Origins for something called Morton’s List. The web site loads slower than ass, so I’ll quote you some of the flyer first: “There is no board to play on, unless you consider the Earth beneath your feet to be one. Morton’s List is not

Let’s hope so, anyway. I caught a wicked cold halfway through the con and it’s still messing with me. Don’t sleep with your head too close to the AC, kids. Series Archer Delayed I don’t know if any of the rest of you remember back when AEG put up this

First, a correction: it’s Risk 2210 A.D., not 2101 A.D. But what’s 109 years between friends, eh? Still no page about this one on the AH web site. Deadlands D20 Surfaces Yes, it’s printed, it was at the show. The cover doesn’t look like your conventional Deadlands stuff – it’s

We probably won’t be first online with this, but I sat there and wrote them all down in my Palm, in Graffiti, and now I’m going to type them all AGAIN so you’d all better appreciate it or I’ll turn this thing around and go home. And the Origins Award

Journeyman Press, publishers of last year’s Scooby Doo and Age of Empires CCGs, is showing three standalone games here at Origins, and at least two of them look funny and compelling. The first, Zombies!, looks like a cross between Space Hulk and Wiz-War, in which players compete to kill the

********** Big Ups To The Columbus Chamber Of Commerce Or whoever’s responsible for making this convention center suck so much less. Last year’s site for cheap chinese food and expensive sodas is now a nice Internet cafe from which I can not only post to OgreCave but, since I forgot

Those who follow Mage Knight found out last week that WizKids will be retiring the Rebellion line of Mage Knight figures, and this past week’s shipment will be the last. So, for the rest of you, if your local game store seems crowded and insane on Monday, that’s why. This

“Fantasy Flight Games is pleased to announce the imminent launch of Dragonstar, a new space-fantasy RPG setting for use with the d20 System.

I’m sorry, but this is rad.

But there is some gaming news today – Wingnut Games sends us the following: “The RPGA has approved and officially sanctioned the first Battle Cattle live action scenario. “Let Loose the Sheep of War” (by Don Bingle and Tom Prusa) will be available for all RPGA-related conventions, but will be

Just a note to say that the reason posts have been so sporadic over the past week is that we’ve been working on yet another cool thing, in addition to the cool thing I mentioned last week. That’s just how much cool is headed your way. So assume the position

Apparently I have to post something to get Blogger to behave. So I’ll just tease you with the knowledge that we at OgreCave are soon beginning development on something so cool that it will make your eyes pop out and roll under the entertainment center, where you won’t be able

ICv2 reports that a company called United Playtest will be publishing a magazine of D20-related reviews and materials, probably called Gaming Frontier, starting in December, with a preview available at Gen Con. This is, of course, in addition to Corsair’s recently announced Campaign magazine. What I like best in this

White Wolf co-founder Mark Rein-Hagen’s new company Atomoton updated their site recently with some visuals of the “InterACTION” figures that integrate with the card play in their upcoming game Z-G.
