As promised, we have recently released. These include Friday, Power Grid: First Sparks, Power Grid: the Robots, and Puerto Rico Anniversary Edition, (which we have sold out of - as it was a limited edition, we will not reprint it). The German publishers have delayed other games we planned to release and printers and we expect to release them in a few weeks. These include Upon a Salty Ocean, South Pole, and Stone Age: Style is the Goal. We will also soon be releasing Lamborghini, Leader: Hell of the North, Hawaii, and Last Will. For Dominion, we still plan to release a digital version early this year. We are also planning to release a set of all base cards (treasure, victory, and curse) that players can use to replace used cards from the base game or Dominion: Intrigue, or to use with the expansions that do not include these base cards. The planned release for this product is March of 2012. We have changed the schedule a bit and will [...]

Hobbits, Spiderman, Jason Bourne and the Dark Knight are all back on the big screen this year Published Monday January 2nd, 2012 BY JAY STONE POSTMEDIA NEWS Last year at this time, we were talking about all the upcoming movies that have numbers after the titles: 2011 was going to be a year of sequels. Well, looking over the 2012 slate, what do we find but a lot of movies with numbers after the titles, including Wanted, Journey, Scary Movie, Men in Black, Madagascar, Step Up, G.I. Joe, Clash of the Titans, Hitman, The Expendables, Paranormal Activity, Taken, and The Twilight Saga. And that's not counting the new Ghost Rider, Resident Evil and Die Hard movies. Yes, it's deja vu all over again, a sequel of sequels, but what are you going to do? In Hollywood, familiarity breeds content. Fortunately, we don't have to travel that road. There is much to look forward to next year: a Spider-Man reboot, a new Batman, another Bourne, and [...]

Almost done with Convention Season! For the Halloween weekend, Charlie will be heading off to the south of France to attend Chimeriades, and to again barbecue on the grill they built for him, to talk to some of our French fans, and visit with some of our European licensees. The Magic Book Magic pervades many worlds of Basic Roleplaying, for in the game every adventurer — every character — has the capacity to manipulate invisible powers. Though the beliefs of the user shape his or her approach to magic, all magic works by certain principles which stem from the life force of the user. Life force flows in natural currents throughout the uni¬verse. Its different forms and shapes are determined by perception. The Magic Book explains the mechanics of three independent magic systems (Spirit Magic, Divine Magic and Wizardry) and details Ritual Magic, a system common to shamans, priests and wizards. Here is The Magic Book PDF version. The Gods Hate Me The Gods Hate [...]

Sit-com is most-watched TV program this side of the border Times & Transcript Published Thursday October 13th, 2011 Big Bang is making a lot of noise this year. That's the most logical explanation for the phenomenal - and continuing - supernova-like performance of The Big Bang Theory, Canada's most-watched TV program in the present time continuum. Not just most-watched comedy, or most-watched sci-fi sitcom, but most-watched program. Period. More than 3.6 million Canadians tuned in last week, placing Big Bang atop the ratings charts - ahead of Survivor, ahead of The Amazing Race, The X Factor, Grey's Anatomy, CSI and (thankfully) even a certain sitcom starring Ashton Kutcher in lieu of Charlie Sheen. Why, it's almost enough to make one think Star Trek is cool again. Star Trek is germane because, in tonight's Big Bang episode, The Russian Rocket Reaction, the gang pays homage - again - to Star Trek: Next Generation with a party at Wil Wheaton's house, with Wheaton playing himself. Brent Spiner, [...]
