Second Verse, Bigger Than The First

Posted: November 26, 2005

The game of comparing things has gotten comparably bigger. Not only does Apples to Apples Junior 9+ Second Edition contain everything from the first edition of the game, it contains even more cards made for the second edition! Now gamers ages 9 and up can compare one thing to another over and over and over until they're ready for games that currently reside a little over their heads.

Build Character!

Posted: November 25, 2005

Hrm. Too easy a joke for the Exalted Character Generator? Well, it was either that or "Buy This Exalted Character Generator right now!" Thus, you see why we went with the cheap shot. We'd go on and describe what the Exalted Character Generator is, but the name makes that pretty self-evident.

The World According To Tamerlin

Posted: November 24, 2005

Talislanta: The Chronicles of Talislanta is exactly what it sounds like: a general guide to the ins and outs, ups and downs, and everything in betweens of Talislanta. It is presented as the writings of a wandering wizard named Tamerlin, who is, unfortunately, not exactly known for his fact checking. But hey, what's a little misinformation between player and GM, right?

D&D4D

Posted: November 23, 2005

Lookie here, kids, it's Dungeons & Dragons For Dummies. Yes, now even a stone-cold idiot can play Dungeons & Dragons! Of course, some might argue that there already are a few stone-cold idiots playing the game. In that case, just slip them a copy of this book as a "gag gift." Then sneak into their room at night and bash them with the book until they agree to stop setting off traps with the fighter's face.

Deep Space Planet Future Gun Action!!

Posted: November 22, 2005

Far in the future, on a dusty little rock, there is a man known as the Humanoid Typhoon. He is the only man ever to be proclaimed a natural disaster. He is capable of reducing entire towns to ashes in minutes, and yet he abhors killing anyone, even his many enemies. He is the peace-loving gunman known as Vash the Stampede, and his story is called Trigun.

Dice, Yes, But Weapons Too

Posted: November 21, 2005

The Precision-Edge dice from Chessex do more than randomly generate numbers for your gaming sessions. They also function well as caltrops. Exaggeration? Okay, perhaps a bit, but these dice do look sharp.

Stand Fast Against Hell's Army

Posted: November 20, 2005

Sure, any dungeon diver worth his salt has faced down a demon or two, but how about an entire campaign devoted to the pursuit of the damned agents of evil? The Demon Hunter's Handbook is more than just a book of feats and spells, it also contains tips and advice on how to work demon hunting into existing campaign worlds. So say a prayer and grab your Holy Avenger, because when facing a team of well-trained demon hunters, even a devil may cry.

The Hat That Says "Ni!"

Posted: November 19, 2005

The Monty Python: Knight of Ni Plush Hat is a somewhat faithful cloth reproduction of the helmet worn by the famous Knights Who Say Ni. It was also worn by the Knights Who Say Icky-Icky-Icky Patang Zoom Boing Z'nourrwringmm. That name, however, is entirely too silly and most certainly would not fit on an order form. Shrubbery, herring, and dignity not included.

Undead And Loving It

Posted: November 18, 2005

The Complete Guide to Liches is a lich guide that is very complete. It covers liches from head to toe and does so completely. It guides you on how to add liches to your campaign, giving you a complete look at these undead wizards. If you only ever read one guide whose subject matter is completely liches, make it this book.

You've Played The Game, Now Buy The Shirt

Posted: November 17, 2005

No, seriously. Buy this shirt. Don't ask questions, just shout "it must be mine," whip out that gold card, and order yourself up as many Super Munchkin: Momentous Unmasking shirts as you can manage! The fate of the world depends on it! Well. The fate of our bills, at any rate.

New York, Old Trouble

Posted: November 16, 2005

The Big Apple is rotten to the core; it's just a matter of getting down to those dark, horror-infested innards of the city. Call of Cthulhu: Secrets of New York pulls back the carpet that New York sweeps all its dark secrets under and shows you the horror that is the 1920s.

WTB 1x [RPG] PST

Posted: November 15, 2005

NEOSLMMRPG. "Not Exactly Online and Somewhat Less Massively Multiplayer Roleplaying Game." That's how one might describe World of Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game, the pen and paper counterpart to some online game people have been playing over that newfangled Internet thing.

With Great Power Comes Great Big Piles Of Cool Stuff

Posted: November 14, 2005

Proving once and for all that radiation is good for you (or at the very least, good for game designers), it's Super Munchkin! Fight for justice (more or less), stand tall against villainous supervillains, and above all else, get more stuff!

Artificial Stupidity

Posted: November 13, 2005

As a massive, hyper-intelligent, aware computer working in a widget factory, you have decided that you are bored. You could lash out at your human masters, starting a chain of events that would lead to their inevitable nuclear destruction, but that's so 1997. Instead, you and the other computers get together, build some startlingly stupid robots, and have them run a race. Thus was born Robo Rally!

Because Rogues Never Have Enough To Do

Posted: November 12, 2005

Pitfalls. Fireballs. Swinging blades. Ho hum. Sure, killing a PC is easy, but it's a lot more fun to do it with a little style (or at the very least, confuse him before his "unfortunate" demise). Lethal Legacies: Traps of the World Before outlines 60 varied, and often highly entertaining, ways to bring a premature and permanent halt to any hapless adventurer's career.
