Don't Solve Your Problems With Violence

Posted: December 05, 2007

That would be selfish. Solve everyone's problems with violence. The king, the old man in the tavern, the hapless maiden: everyone's plagued by some sort of obnoxious happenstance or another. Hack-n-Slash Gamemasters Edition gives you a Fudge flavored way to slice their respective Gordian knots like only a dwarven war axe can.

But Where's "Chong," "Ching," And "Chung?"

Posted: December 04, 2007

They tell us that Chang Cheng means "long wall," which is appropriate when you consider that the game is about building the Great Wall of China. They also tell us that dogs can speak with the Moon People, so we've learned to be very careful trusting Them. In fact, we should probably go lock up the glue before They get to it. Excuse us.

'Craft Services

You may have heard of StarCraft. StarCraft: The Board Game may be nearly a decade behind its digital progenitor, but if you think of it as "nine years in the making," it sounds very epic. And if it's epic you seek, a game with 880 or so components ought to satisfy.

If At First You Don't Succeed

Tri, tri a gon. Blokus Trigon is a fun, family-friendly, minute-to-learn sort of game that deserves better than that. However, since jokes of mass destruction are the humor de jour around here, we're afraid we have no choice in the matter. Our apologies to the fine folks at Educational Insights, net denizens such as yourself, and all sentient life in any coexisting parallel dimensions.

So What's Your Story?

Posted: December 01, 2007

You and your friends fancy yourselves StoryTellers, eh? Well, with this game, you'll be the judge of that. Which . . . actually, kinda works out in your favor.

Beans . . . In . . . Space?

Posted: November 30, 2007

Space Beans. Seriously. That's what the game is called. Space Beans. If that doesn't sell the game, nothing well. Heck, we carry the game and even we are curious.

Conan The Rolebarion

Posted: November 29, 2007

Conan the Roleplaying Game is back again, this time with twice as much edition as before! But don't worry, your other Conan books are still compatible. Wise move on their part, since barbarians upset over obsolete books don't exactly use the word "flaming" the same way your average Internet geeks does. If you do any drift catching.

It's Two Kinds Of Magic

Posted: November 28, 2007

Exalted: The White and Black Treatises lets you get your mystic groove on Light Side and Dark Side style. Sorta like gluing a book on manners to the back of the Necronomicon. Convenient!

Coolest. War. Ever.

Posted: November 27, 2007

See, 'cause it was called the Cold War? See, "cold" and . . . and "cool." Look, Cold War: CIA vs. KGB actually a pretty good game. Its secretary will disavow any knowledge of this advertisement, and that's probably what you should do, too, after clicking the link.

The Shampoo And Conditioner Of Roleplaying!

Posted: November 26, 2007

If a shampoo/conditioner had a third component. Post-conditioner or pre-shampoo. Or possibly some sort of "pooditioner." Hm . . . perhaps not. RuneQuest Deluxe is three books squirshified together, and that's all you really need to worry about.

We Feel It Bears Mentioning

The miniature plastic zombies in the Zombies!!!: Bag o' Babes!!! (Glowing) set glow in the dark. Because glowing in the light would be silly.

Death Is But A Dream

Posted: November 24, 2007

Move, move, move your butt, quickly as you can. Your nightmares are a little more potent than usual tonight, and they're going to merrily, merrily, merrily stab you if you're not quick on your feet. Dying in your sleep is anything but peaceful if HeroCard: Nightmare has something to say about it.

A Few Munchkins More

Posted: November 23, 2007

Trade that stiletto fer a six-shooter and swap yer plate mail fer a poncho, because Munchkin has gone West! There's plenty o' outlaws what need shootin', but if they're not enough, feel free to turn them irons on yer so-called "amigos." Remember, it's called The Good, the Bad, and the Munchkin because there's good, there's bad, and then there's munchkin.

New Moon Risin'

Posted: November 22, 2007

Trouble's on the way, and it comes in a tiny square box. The Werewolves of Miller's Hollow: New Moon brings new abilities to the villagers, new scenarios to the werewolves, and a big mess 'o horrific finger-pointing to your next big social gathering!

Swingers Need Not Apply

Posted: November 21, 2007

The unicorn. With its soft spot for maidens, there's something of a demand for virgins in the unicorn hunting field. Though many apply, the chosen are, alas, few. The Unicorn Bait T-Shirt (also available in baby doll style!) will make your unsuitability crystal clear.
