Wingnut Games recently announced a publishing agreement with Ferry Bazelmans to bring his SOAP roleplaying game to print. Recently released as a PDF, SOAP is a game of “soap opera mayhem.” Yes, indeed. As the company blurb says, “your character is likely to be shot by ex-lovers, undergo a life-threatening

Right, well, I missed the news about Chez Greek, a fraternity-themed standalone Chez Geek clone that’s fully compatible with the original. Apparently, the SJG marketing department decided that not everyone who might enjoy a fun card game is a self-billed geek. It’s currently listed as At The Printer. Yesterday they

Mystic Eye Games was nice enough to send over some story teasers from two of MEG’s D20 products: Interludes: Sands of Pain (in stores now) and Dry Lands (coming this Dec/Jan). From what Hal Greegberg told me a while back, Sands of Pain serves as the connection between the city

Whoa! I missed this: NPR‘s Vikki Valentine did a piece on Dungeons & Dragons’ 30th anniversary that aired last Saturday on Weekend All Things Considered. Haven’t had time to listen yet, we’ll see if I cringe.

So this guy James Stubbs, who does the 1PG games for Deep7, and this other guy Rogan Hanby who did this Ranma 1/2 fan game, sent us an email letting us know that they’re now Heyoka Studios and they have a PDF d20 book called the Book of Curses. Their
