Evil Hat Productions is releasing The Dresden Files RPG. Because they are cooler than your average company, they have a special deal with us. If you stop into the store and pre-pay for the hardcover version of the game, we will give you the current draft version of the game in a PDF file. So, you can have the rules now, and the hardcover as soon as it comes out.
How sweet of a deal is that?
Last night we finally had enough players that we ran a magic draft. Unfortunately, we ran a little behind, and then a little late. But it was still a good first night.
While two old friends played Flames of War, the Battletech demo started, the World of Warcraft TCG got underway and I got to play Year of the Dragon.
What do you mean we don’t have something for everyone?
We will be having a designer from Clash of Arms teach the game on May 1.
Yesterday, Charlie and Bob got in a quick game (Charlie 7, Bob 2). Today Bob beat Colin (5v4).
On Saturday at 2 Filamena Young and David Hill will be giving a demo of their new RPG, Maschine Zeit.
“You never really know someone until they’re bleeding out in front of you. In Maschine Zeit, you’ll get to know everyone around you very well. Maschine Zeit is an RPG that emulates the sci-fi horror conventions of Alien, Dead Space, Event Horizon and Pandorum, using movie logic and dramatic appropriateness instead of trying to emulate realism.”
Magic draft is this Wednesday.
