2004 has been an important year for Politically Incorrect Games' (PIG; pigames.net) growth - we've built convenience into to our web site. Here's a quick rundown of its two main features:
1. Collaborative. Submit and read new material for our gaming lines for free. Download only the documents you want - these are saved as PDF files dynamically.
2. Online Store. Download PDF products immediately after purchase, plus receive notification of free product updates. Retailers can also sign up for wholesale pricing on our printed products.
2004 was also a time of aggravation. Our original web host went missing and we were unable to retrieve database backups from them. We learned our lesson to backup ourselves. We now have a much larger site frame with which to work. Then a few weeks ago, a hard drive crashed, taking our latest projects with it (about a month's worth of work), including Sengoku(tm) Diceless. The drive is still in the process of having its directory rebuilt. We are confident that when completed, we will again be able to access these files. Until then, we have returned to other projects previously placed on the back-burner. This leads us into our latest releases:
1. Disposable Heroes Paper Minis Enhanced. Experience the next generation of downloadable paper miniatures. This new system lets you customize the way you download the minis: a) B&W or color; b) the full set; c) only select minis from a set; d) an army of one or more minis on a page; e) come back for more later and download what you need.
2. HardNova ][: Space Opera Adventures in Softcover. Just in, this specially formatted 5.5x8.5 paperback is a sweet deal. The 154-page book includes everything you need: a) simple, yet flexible and consistent system; b) ready to use character, robot, and starship templates; c) 5 ready to play episodic scenarios; d) 5 ready to play one-shot scenarios; e) extras download, including color starmap and 8.5x11 blank sheets.
3. We are also trying to complete Shadow of the Serpent for Iron Gauntlets: Heroic Fantasy Roleplaying. This is the second adventure in a four-part series co-published with Sacred Wolf, inc.
2005 should be an exciting year, seeing the release of our Impresa Core Rules (along with a bunch of settings for it), formerly only available as a free Express version or as a scaled-down set found in Iron Gauntlets and our upcoming game, Last Horizon. Speaking of Iron Gauntlets, keep an eye out for more source material. We haven't forgotten our diceless rules - most Impresa games and settings will either be cross-compatible with or dual-statted for Active Exploits. More genreDiversion Virtual Boxed Sets(tm) are in the works, from time travel to westerns, expect a diverse range of products similar in scope to HardNova ][. You can also expect a revised edition of our popular pulp roleplaying game, Two-Fisted Tales, and more Disposable Heroes paper minis, including critters, western and pulp figures.
We thank all those who have supported us, not only in 2004, but since our humble beginnings in 2002. We'll try not to dissapoint in 2005. And remember, we listen to your feedback - this is what helped shape products such as HardNova ][ and Iron Gauntlets. Let us know what you like or don't like - visit our forums or send us an email. Also, if you've got alternate rules or new uses for one of our products, add your thoughts to our Collaborative, so others who may be interested can share in the ideas. Happy New Year!
