    Buzz on Aces and Eights?

    Update: The truck with our new products was in Nebraska as of yesterday, so we should be receiving them early next week. :eek: :lol: I plan to ship the Aces & Eights RPG to distributors as soon as possible after the truck is unpacked.

    What to do about a publisher not paying?

    Yes, but that's not what I'm saying. :) I just think that posting all or large chunks of a confidential contract, for everyone to see, could be a bad idea. That's different than spreading the word that a company didn't pay. It's posting information that could be confidential, depending on...

    What to do about a publisher not paying?

    Sure, you could make that claim in court, and I imagine the contract would definitely have to be presented there. But I still say posting any excerpt from a confidential contract would be a bad idea. Fortunately, my boss is a contract lawyer, so if a problem comes up, I can just ask him.

    What to do about a publisher not paying?

    That could be a bad idea if the contract says that it's a confidential agreement. (No, we're not the publisher in question. :) )

    Buzz on Aces and Eights?

    You and me both. ;) I don't know how any western fan can't get at least a little excited after looking at the preview PDFs.

    Buzz on Aces and Eights?

    David's right. Keep in mind that the CafePress maps are not required to play the game. They're just larger versions of the maps in the book, for those that want them.

    Buzz on Aces and Eights?

    There's a LOT more to the Aces & Eights game than the combat rules, including tons of great player info and flavor. I think you'd just end up with a slightly thinner hardcover. ;) Speaking of other books, though, we are working on a new supplement with even more silhouettes, shot clocks and...

    Buzz on Aces and Eights?

    We've just heard about that game in the last few months - the Aces & Eights Shot Clock definitely wasn't based on it. I'd like to actually see what it looks like, but I didn't see any pictures online anywhere. I don't think this kind of "rules windage" would work with the Aces & Eights Shot...

    Buzz on Aces and Eights?

    Yep, June is correct. We should be getting the books from the printer late next week. If you haven't already, go to this page and scroll down to check out all the PDF preview links. (The color promo your FLGS had was probably preview #1.) Yep! And other "mini-games" like prospecting, trial...

    [KenzerCo] Aces & Eights: Shattered Frontier RPG (western) - new preview PDF #3

    We've just added our third preview (or fourth, if you count retailer previews) PDF for the Aces & Eights: Shattered Frontier RPG! (I've submitted each of these as news items as well, but none have ever shown up, :( so I'm posting it here too.) The Aces & Eights: "Firearms, Flaws and More"...

    Alternative origins of the drow

    I agree (as you can obviously tell from the above post.) :)

    Alternative origins of the drow

    Here's an origin from Blood and Shadows: the Dark Elves of Tellene (heavily abbreviated for space - and so as not to give it all away...) --------------------- "You cannot have peace or harmony any longer, my children. No emotion will ever again be pure for us, because everything is hate and...

    Most of the books will probably arrive next week, except for those few early birds who ordered theirs just before last week's shipping.

    What alignment is House?

    Yeah, Chaotic Neutral's definitely the first thing I thought of as well.

    Take the HackMaster Challenge

    If you emailed before the deadline, email me again. It's possible an email disappeared to or from me. Keep the subject line simple - like "HackMaster Challenge".

    Take the HackMaster Challenge

    If you decide to run a game in the near future, I'd suggest checking out the special offers page for our Spring discount deals. ;) And US postal fees are increasing today... :(

    Good idea - I put the expiration in the first post, but didn't edit the title. Done!

    That freakin' chainmail bikini is gonna haunt me til I die. :lol: As I recall, while I was writing up the magic item chapter, we got a piece of art for a "normal" chainmail bikini. Since it didn't look quite like what I wanted, I wrote up the new magic item based on the picture. Now it...

    XBox 360 Elite

    Ditto. That's one of the upcoming games I decided I had to have a 360 for (plus Halo 3, of course). Just got my 360 (Pro) a few weeks ago. I've only got Dead Rising and Viva Pinata (and the full Gauntlet download, as of today) for it so far. My fiancee and I are both big on the Xbox Live...
