Chaosium co-ordinates a standard release date across markets -- which is quite difficult. This means stock arrives at some of those warehouses well ahead of time (and ahead enough for retailers to get them into their stores on those release dates.) I can confirm that the Pendragon GM guide is...

If y'all are interested in Reanimated it is available Canada: Reanimated And United Kindgom: Reanimated Jed and I met at Game-itoba in Winnipeg, last month, and we just missed each other at the last UK Games Expo.

One of the new starter sets for SHIVER is basically a Jurassic Park adventure "Welcome to Hollow World." It has the extra layer of the players are playing the actors playing their characters. It's a nice set, and I do enjoy SHIVER's mechanics. The starter rulebook covers a lot of what you need...

I am surprised to learn that this looks like it is in print/distro again! As someone who is at Conventions all the time (running the multi-publisher Compose Dream Games RPG booth), it's common for me to run more convention games than any other category in a year. I think convention games were...

You are on our retailer map ;) The whole matter is . . . irritating to put it mildly.

Indeed, there are four with accounts with us, who can order in anything we carry -- and you get the PDF too. See Retailers

As a Canadian RPG distributor, marketplace and publisher, (Compose Dream Games - we do also operate in the UK) I feel like I can provide some context. I don't know what any of this will cause, and I'm simply trying to provide a list of facts from our experience. • Various print on demand...

Well I have been tempted to do so on a number of occaisons. It is a fair bit of manual data gathering efforts. A ten years later update is tempting.

You know I found as many RPG forums, classified them and did a visualization of them . . . almost exactly 10 years ago. A lot of those are still around actually. You can click any of the sites on the treemap or table and it will open up the website...

Distributor of indie rpgs in Canada and the UK here (Compose Dream Games). Figured I'd chime in. I also did my masters in retail geography and studied comic and game stores for my thesis, that was just over a decade ago, and Canada is a different market. Grain of salt. As Compose Dream Games we...

I should have remembered Jason Pitre also puts up the RPG Design Panelcast -- RPG Design Panelcast | Jason Pitre

There's a few episodes of the Ottawa Game Designers up on Spotify. The one's I was in aren't up yet. Maybe Fraser will add them at some point.

Good write up Rob. Small correction the designer Mikey Hamm. We sell Slugblaster to our fellow Canucks in print or in PDF through the Compose Dream Games Slugblaster Core The Game of the Year Edition just sold out.

I r an a lot of "squad" and then some big battles in Dungeons Unleashed. Here's a write up Dungeons Unleashed Battle System You can grab the full beta rules as a free PDF. System uses multiple opposed d12s and the GM to make judgements on the relative strength of units.

I just read through and then did a video on Aegean. All the players are from the same Greek city-state (polis) and it is a democracy. They get to decide what type of Arkon is currently in charge. There's a downtime phase/subsystem that is a city events and building. The phase is largely...

The Aegean thread is over here Not DnD | Aegean There's a bit of a discussion on it and I also just did a video about the game myself.

And here is the video looking at the core book that I did!

I read through the core Aegean book in detail recently. One of the interesting aspects of the game is that all the heroes come from the same Polis and usually create it together at the start of play. During downtime (the only time you can recover from wounds) there is a city phase. Players get...

There use to be a HackTrack download on the keznerco site but I haven't been able to find it since the site update. Hackmaster uses a "count up" system. The GM counts up per second combat and players declare actions each second that they do something. (If you read that and are unfamiliar with...

Yo Hackmaster is dope. I couldn't figure out how to run it as GM with more than like 2 monsters until I came across the "HackTrack". Campaigns I have run with it have all been rather short, but I suppose that is most campaigns I run :oops: Awesome. Sometimes little things really stick out as...
