Mark your calendars for Friday, May 4th. That’s when The Wayne Foundation Charity RPG Pack will be available for sale! We already have over $200 worth of product included, which will sell for $25.  At the moment you’ll be getting 88% off the total cost of everything in the bundle, but it will get better.  We’re still accepting product to include, and will be doing so until April 30th (if you want to help us out and donate something, get in touch) and I fully expect to add more over the next 10 days.

Who’s in so far? Here’s a list of publishers and authors who are taking part as of right now:

There are 43 different products available which cover Dungeons & Dragons 4e, Pathfinder/OGL, G-Core, FATE, ICONS, Traveller, many complete indie RPG games, print and play board games and original works of fiction. It looks like we’ll have some original artwork to include as well and perhaps a few other surprises if I can work them out.

We’ve gotten that fancy new logo you see above, courtesy of Jeremy who’s work you should certainly check out! Interested in seeing what titles are included? Read on!

About Argyle & Crew
The land of Skcos is inhabited by all manner of things, but primarily its inhabitants belong to a race of ever changing, always interesting creatures called Soppets. Soppets are a magical breed of intelligent, funny, thrill seeking socks.

Yes, you read that correctly, Socks.

Argyle & Crew is a free wheeling system powered by imagination. Rather than a character sheet like a traditional RPG, your character and it’s attributes are all based on a sock puppet, or in Skcos lingo, a Soppet. Each Soppet has several unique qualities which allow it to do extraordinary things!

This is a Creative Commons licensed title.

If you’re a publisher, author or artist and would like to contribute something, please get in touch with me! Games, short stories, ebooks, artwork – all are welcome!

Last fall, just as October was kicking into gear, a bunch of us indie RPG writers and publishers concluded a two week run of the Wayne Foundation Charity pack.  This year we’re doing it again and we already have some fantastic products to offer!  In no particular order, the following amazing publishers and authors have now contributed!

This does not include those who’s contributions haven’t arrived yet. There’s still more amazing things to come!

The Wayne Foundation

Last year we raised over $1800 for the Wayne Foundation. I’d like to do this again, and see if we can up this to $2500 or more.

If you’re someone in the industry, indie or not, and have a product available as a PDF that you’d like included in the bundle, please get in touch with me! I’m planning on running this second bundle from May 4th through May 18th.

I’d like to sell this bundle for $20 at DriveThruRPG with at least $100 worth of product in it. That said, here’s what I’ll take to include in the bundle.

  • RPG products (systems, adventures, add-ons, etc)
  • Print and Play board games
  • War Games rules
  • Art
  • Anything designed exclusively for this package.
  • Software
  • Fiction/non-fiction -if it could be at DriveThruFiction or DriveThruComics, I’m interested.

Please feel free to include your free products too!

You can get in touch with me here!

Thanks, and feel free to spread the word!

Argyle & Crew Spring into Gaming sale!

 Argyle & Crew, Role Playing Games  No Responses »
Mar 272012
 

A few days ago I was sitting around doing nothing remotely connected to gaming, when the “Spring into Gaming Sale” words popped into my head unbidden.

I really like the way that rolls of the tongue, somewhere between a fancy store event and an infomercial. So, here it is!  For the next two days you can get Argyle & Crew for a significantly reduced price, all because words attack my brain when I’m not looking! Click on the links below to add Argyle & Crew directly to your cart at DriveThruRPG.

Argyle & Crew Softcover Print and PDF – normally $9.00 now for $6.00.

Argyle & Crew PDF only – normally $2.99, now $1.25.

This sale ends at midnight (EST), March 28th.

Argyle & Crew is a free wheeling system powered by imagination. Rather than a character sheet like a traditional RPG, your character and it’s attributes are all based on a sock puppet, or in Skcos lingo, a Soppet.  Each Soppet has several unique qualities which allow it to do extraordinary things!

Argyle & Crew is great game for children as young as 4 years old.  Short scenarios and active participation keep things lively!  Useful as a learning tool not just for gaming, but for life lessons, Argyle & Crew can easily be used in a classroom setting.  Professionals working on counseling children can find this game equally useful for indirectly or directly exploring past experiences and future anxieties. Use the additional rules for older children or adults and expand the game from a fun, play driven activity to a fully developed RPG, using the One-Shot RPG system.

Total Confusion XXVI – My favorite convention

 Argyle & Crew, Conventions, Reviews, Role Playing Games  1 Response »
Mar 212012
 

Total Confusion bills itself as “New England’s largest gaming convention”. I’m here to tell you that they don’t lie, in fact, they’re keeping the truth under wraps. They’re not just the largest, they’re the best.

I was lucky enough to attend my third TotalCon just a few weeks ago. I was in attendance at TotalCon 1 as a gangly teenager with a few dice and a mechanical pencil. Last year I was invited as an industry guest to TotalCon 25, a role I repeated again this year. It’s by far my favorite convention to attend and I would highly recommend it if you’re anywhere in the area. Now let me tell you what happened during the con, including some tidbits from behind the scenes and some thoughts on just why this is the most fun gaming I have all year.

The largest?

It’s a fact – Total Confusion is the largest gaming convention in New England. That is, it’s not a fan convention, it’s not a mix of computer and table top games, it’s not dedicated to any one table top system. It’s simply four days of pure gaming goodness. In 2010, there were (counting by badge) 600 attendees.  In 2011, 800.  This year, TotalCon broke 1000 attendees, all there with the sole purpose of gaming, gaming, gaming.

From Thursday to Sunday you can get your fill of board games, RPGs, wargames and just about anything else you’d like in the tabletop arena. It’s all contained within one hotel (the Holiday Inn at Mansfield, MA) which means you’ve got everything you need under one roof.

Shamelessly stolen from TotalCon's facebook page

I love this about TotalCon. PAX East has it’s moments, as I’m entirely sure other extremely large conventions do. At TotalCon you have enough people to ensure that there’s always an open game or a pickup game happening when you need it. Enough to keep everything busy and exciting and new. Yet you have  a chance to run into people throughout the weekend and say hello. After a day or two nearly everyone is a familiar face. This is a friendly place where everyone is in attendance for exactly the same reason and that lends a distinct, pleasant atmosphere to the con you don’t get at the bigger gatherings.
