As it turns out, I’ll be at the 2009 GAMA Trade Show starting tomorrow, so you can expect some news to show up here over the next few days. As I’ve been getting things together for my trip, I’ve also been perusing the show schedule, and was reminded that some

Audio Report – Lists and holidays
As we continue to get caught up, the OgreCave podcast crew presents the long lost (well, long delayed, at least) end-of-2008 episode of the OgreCave Audio Report. Steve returns to tell us how the season treated him as a retailer, and how gift guides can have a big impact. Then
Audio Report: Autumn madness
As it was held hostage for a time by real life woes and computer wackiness, we’re pleased to finally present this recently arrived refugee episode of the OgreCave Audio Report. Held over from just before the Christmas season, this episode hit right after the WizKids implosion, which Mike and I
OgreCave Christmas Gift Guide 2008, part 4
Now that Christmas is just a few days away, you’re either all set for gift giving, or just about to panic. Fear not – the Cave dwellers have one more list of gift suggestions for you, and this time none of them require shipping. Therefore, we wrap up (*ahem*) our
OgreCave Christmas Gift Guide 2008, part 3
Despite the unusually heavy pressures of the holiday season this year (just speaking for myself here – jury duty stinks), the Cave dwellers have continued OgreCave’s annual gift list with due diligence. Part three of our eighth annual recommendations list, the OgreCave Christmas Gift Guide 2008, has gone live to
Games of the Ninja 2008
As night approaches, be wary – the Day of the Ninja is in full effect, and silent death lurks around every corner (and in today’s graphic). However, to celebrate the occasion, and to distract said assassins when they come for you, we’ve put together a group of products we like
The Day of the Ninja is upon you
Watch yourself today – you never know when they’ll strike. We’ll have a little something to honor the sneaky fellows later today (they’ve already begun their assault, as you can see), but in the meantime, stay on your toes. The Day of the Ninja is nigh!
OgreCave Christmas Gift Guide 2008, part 1
The turkey and stuffing may not even be on the table yet, but the Cave dwellers have been hard at work to make sure you’re ready for the holiday shopping season. To that end, we present part one of our eighth annual recommendations list, the OgreCave Christmas Gift Guide 2008.
Best Choose Your Own Adventure list at AOL
It isn’t often that we link to an AOL feature article, but their list of the top 20 Choose Your Own Adventure gamebooks is somewhat entertaining. We lend even more credence to the list due to the author thanking Gamebooks.org, a site created and run by OgreCave’s longtime staff member
Audio Report: Miniatures and fear, sort of
Since it was recorded just a few days before Halloween, the latest episode of the OgreCave Audio Report naturally focuses on – miniatures? Yep, Mike and I muse on the recent D&D Miniatures news, and on the sorts of miniatures games a cross-training gamer should have on hand. Then we
Audio Report: Ogre’s Choice 2008, and prizes!
It’s time once again – okay, fine, it’s a bit overdue – for our annual Ogre’s Choice Awards show, wherein all the Cave Dwellers have contributed to the final award nominee and winner selections. Mike, Steve, and I discuss what we liked this past year, which you can read along
Audio Report: hella PAX and hella Hellas
Our recap of Penny Arcade Expo has made it out the door; perhaps more urgently at this point, I interviewed Michael Fiegel and Jerry Grayson, producers of the much-talked-about Hellas RPG, and you can hear the result. Come on down.
Audio Report: Joe Goodman on Dungeon Crawl Classics for 4E
This was supposed to be up yesterday – a little of the ol’ epic fail on my part there, sorry – but now, in all its glory: Joe Goodman tells us just how, exactly, he is making modules for D&D 4E and publishing them before the sanctioned October GSL threshold.
Long review, average-length Audio Report
First, if it escaped your attention, Lee Valentine has an exhaustively thorough look at Ken Hite’s new Trail of Cthulhu RPG. If you’ve got questions about whether this latest complete game on the Mythos is the one for you, Lee probably has answers. Second, our post-DunDraCon podcast is finally ready
Audio Report – Back in the saddle again
The OgreCave Audio Report is getting back up to speed with this, the first of two shows being fired off today. We’ve been talking, you just haven’t been able to hear it. Here’s the proof: our first Audio Report of the new year, recorded back when OGLs and inroads to
